Jeff was an amazing friendly and knowledgeable guide. He went out of his way to ensure that we saw a bear. We saw 2 bears and it was the most memorable experience that we will remember for a lifetime We would highly recommend Jeff and his fellow guides as they worked together to achieve this amazing result.

Great views and scenery! Fantastic to see the bears! Our Ranger, Jeff, was very knowledgeable about the area and the bears and got us within a few feet of the bears. My family loved the tour. Thank you Jeff!

Great tour with our amazing guide and saw Priscilla and her baby cub as they walked right beside our vehicle Also saw another yearling. Learned about the park as we toured the forest and saw the Olympic ski jump site from the top. Would really recommend the tour

It’s hit or miss if you get a chance to see a bear but the whole experience is worth it. We did get to see a couple bears and a mom interact with her cubs up in a tree. Got a couple of peeks at parts of the cubs. Our guide was great!!! Seeing the Olympic ski jump was really amazing. This tour group gets you into the woods!

Amazing tour with excellent and friendly guide, Alex. Although we didn’t view any bears we learnt so much and it was so good being in the forest and seeing the spectacular views - a highlight of our visit to Whistler,

We had a fantastic time on The Whistler Bear tour this morning with Rafa, exploring in the 4x4 Jeep. We toured around the old Olympic Park and saw the impressive ski jumps from the 2010 Winter Olympics. The highlight was definitely spotting a beautiful 3-year-old bear in the wild! Rafa was brilliant and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour! 🐻🚙🏔️

Jacob is a great guide and you get to see the bears up close.
Great customer service and communication.

The tour was great, unfortunately we did not see bears but our guide was super nice and gave us loads of info. The trails they drove on were beautiful.

This tour was the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Raphael was excellent! It was exciting and fun and we got to see a few bears. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

It would have been a cool experience even if we hadn’t seen bears. You’ll still probably see signs of bears and the Olympic ski jump is a memorable thing to see. Our guide was friendly and told us a lot about the bears. We did see some bears, who even chose to come quite close to the vehicle (just walked past).

Finding and seeing Bears is trying to find a needle in a haystack
The ranger was interesting, knowledgeable and helpful despite not coming across any bears

A lovely early evening experience in the Olympic park looking for the bears. We stopped at the Alexandra Falls first - a pretty waterfall- before heading in to park. We were really fortunate to spot a cub playing in the trees within a couple moments of entering the park with the mommy black bear at the base of the trees. The cub was super cute and playful. We had one other sighting later on the drive before we went up to the ski jumps and looked out towards the Brandywine mountain range in the distance. We were able to stand up in the vehicles to look around and with only 4 passengers to a vehicle we were all able to have good views of the bears when we found them.
Pick up and drop off at hotel location was seamless, guides were friendly and work with their colleagues to share viewings while they look to cover vast areas of the park. I would definitely recommend bug spray for the mosquitos - may have just been the timing of our drive after heavy rainfall and at sunset, so something to think about.

Great fun out in the forest. However not a bear to be seen. Just bear poop. I think we were unlucky. More wildlife in my back garden in England than on the trip. Driver great and knowledgeable

Our guide was Jacob. He was super knowledgeable about the habitat from trees, bear culture and Whistler. This tour company has the rights to go inside the forest to view wildlife. It took a while but we saw momma bear Priscilla and her baby cub sleeping to frolicking and eating close to our jeep. It was incredible. To watch them in their world. Beautiful. Highly recommend.

We had Alex this evening on a private bear tour. He was so amazing. Super knowledgeable about the area, from the trees, the Olympic history, to why Whistler was named that and especially the bears.
We saw multiple bears and 2 cubs as well. It was so worth the tour. Having a private tour We got to know Alex and he got to know us as well along the way.
We had a bear come right past our vehicle during the tour.
This is definitely a tour you need to do when visiting Whistler.

Knowledgeable guide. Saw two cubs in a tree. Learned a lot. Drove in Whistler Olympic village. Also got to see ski jumps

This bear tour by jeep was great. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend to others.

This was a wonderful morning tour with our guide, Mike, who was very knowledgeable on bears and on the area generally. We had an amazing siting of a mother and her cub who came within feet of our vehicle. Incredible!

We booked a private tour in the evening and had Jacob as our guide.
This trip was simply perfect and we could not have wished for more.
Jacob was outstanding in his knowledge and enthusiasm of both the bears and the park itself.
We saw several bears and their wellbeing was always at the forefront of Jacob’s mind when spotted, providing a perfect balance of protecting their wellbeing, but allowing us to view and watch them in their natural environment.
Included in the tour was a guide of the Olympic Park, where we were able to stand at the top of the ski slope and watch a stunning sunset.
You always wonder when you book these trips using only online info/reviews if they are worth the money - you will not be disappointed if you book with this company. Truly stunning experience.

We had an incredible time. The landscapes are incomparable, the forests incredible. We were not lucky enough to see bears, but even so, it is a tour that is worth taking. Our guide was great, very good conversation. We definitely recommend it. Thank you!

It was nice, the guide was super cute and told a lot. We probably didn't see any bears, but that's it. It's a chance you have to take.

Was great, bears, and birds seen. But also the visit to the ski jumps of the 2010 Olympic Games. Highly recommended.
