Whistler Discovery Tours offer some of the best chances to see black bears in their natural habitat, and each tour follows the same style, just at different times of day. Travelling in a comfortable Land Rover with local guides, you head onto private mountain roads and through quiet forested areas where Whistler’s resident bears are often found feeding, wandering or resting. The guides know the terrain incredibly well and share plenty about the bears, their habits and the wider landscape, which makes the whole outing feel relaxed, informative and genuinely memorable.

The time of day you choose shapes the experience. Morning tours often catch the forest at its calmest as the sun comes up, while afternoon departures make the most of the warmer part of the day when bears can be more active. Evening tours are all about the light, with long shadows and softer colours as the sun drops behind the mountains. No matter when you go, the combination of quiet mountain scenery, knowledgeable guides and the chance to safely observe wild bears makes this a really special Whistler highlight.
