Frequently Asked Questions
When Is The Best Time of Day To See Bears?
Bears feed during low tide so we plan departures during the low tide period. On our bear watching tours we set our departure times according to low tide, as that is when the bears come down to the shoreline to find crabs and other shellfish to feast on.
