On July 4, I experienced a day with Aspire Canada Tours that was one of the most exciting and thrilling of my life. It has always been a dream to see grizzly bears in the wild, and I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I booked the trip about how many bears, if any, I would see.

Being mere feet away from nine grizzlies, including a sow with two cubs, made my dream come true. And this was no rushed viewing. We sat for long periods, and the bears seemed oblivious to our presence. The tour was even booked during low tide, which is when the bears come down to the beach to forage.

Aspire Canada Tours, in partnership with Prince Rupert Adventure Tours, provided an amazing day from start to finish. The captain and crew of the catamaran were warm and welcoming, providing a very comfortable and informative trip that got us closer to the bears and whales than I had ever imagined was possible.

Watching humpback whales bubble-net fish and ending the day with over a dozen eagles feeding around the boat made it the trip of a lifetime.

Aspire has partnered with an amazing company in Prince Rupert to provide a five-star experience. Aspire's staff are great, and every step of the tour was handled perfectly. Aspire Canada Tours truly provided a "bucket-list" experience, and I cannot recommend them enough. I am looking forward to another Aspire adventure very soon.
