For visitors keen to experience Northern British Columbia's incredible biodiversity, the region is full of opportunities. From whales and birds to moose, caribou, grizzlies, and even the elusive Kermode or spirit bear, wildlife viewing is an essential part of most sightseeing tours.
Flightseeing
Get a bird's-eye perspective of the vast region and travel to the more remote areas that aren’t accessible by car. Flightseeing is a unique way to see spectacular mountain ranges, glacier lakes, and plateaus. Tours last from 30 minutes to four hours, with some offering accommodation in backcountry lodges. Northern Lights Viewing
Some of the best locations in the world to observe the legendary Aurora Borealis are in the Northern British Columbia. The isolated wilderness of Muncho Lake Provincial Park allows viewers to take in these spectacular displays of colour in the night sky, without light interference from urban centres.
Photo Safaris
Bring plenty of film, video cartridges and batteries for a safari into the spectacular scenery of Northern British Columbia. Photographers might get a rare chance to spot a grizzly catching fish, or capture authentic First Nations village life in the Queen Charlotte Islands. For impressive landscape shots, consider the unspoiled wilderness of the Northern Rocky Mountains.
