GRIZZLIES OF BEAR CAVE MOUNTAIN

Nakina Adventures offers you life-changing wilderness adventures “off the beaten trail”. For guests joining us on an expedition to the Bear Cave Mountain Adventures camp located in the remote sub-arctic of the Northern Yukon, we guarantee your experience will be exclusive, engaging and unforgettable.

UNPARALLELD GRIZZLY BEAR VIEWING

Nakina Adventures has shared a long-standing relationship with Bear Cave Mountain Eco-Adventures. We can organize your trip to Bear Cave Mountain at Ni’iinlii’njik (Fishing Branch) Territorial Park, Yukon, Canada.

FALL – A SPECIAL TIME FOR BEAR AND GIANT MOOSE

Mid-September through early October is the time for the “Moose and Bear” trips. Giant bull moose are frequently seen patrolling the river in search of a mate. With luck, you may see bears and moose together and get to see who the “king of the forest” really is.

WINTER – TIME OF THE FAMOUS ‘ICE BEARS’

By mid-October the time of the “Ice Bear” begins, a phenomenon unique to Bear Cave Mountain. The colder the temperatures the more ice forms on the bear’s coats. This is truly one of the most unique and exciting ecological events to be seen in the world.

EXCLUSIVE ADVENTURE

After a 2-hour helicopter flight you touch down at Bear Cave Mountain where you are guaranteed absolute exclusivity. Your small group (maximum 4 guests) will have the entire camp and an immense sub-arctic wilderness area all to yourselves.

WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS FROM DAWN TO DUSK

From the time you wake up in the morning until the time your head hits the pillow at night, you will literally be living in the world of the grizzly bear.

THE UNIQUE ECOLOGY OF BEAR CAVE MOUNTAIN

The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation holds claim to this unique wilderness area known as Ni’iilii’njik – “where fish spawn”. Porous karst geology produces a constant flow of cold oxygenated water to the river, year-round.

EXPERT GUIDES

Bear Cave Mountain’s long-standing guides are experts in bear behavior and dedicated to providing you a safe and personal bear viewing experience.

WILL YOU SEE NORTHERN LIGHTS?

Anyone interested in some Aurora Borealis? On a clear evening, you are in the right place to witness the most magnificent displays of northern lights known to mankind.

TRADITIONAL COMFORT IN COMPLETE WILDERNESS

Rustic, warm and comfy-cozy double occupancy cabins blend in well with the surrounding area. A dining room and communal building are attached by a common deck where, in the evenings, guests can relax and share their stories and photos.
