Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the south coast on this unforgettable wildlife adventure. Begin with a scenic drive along the rugged coastline, where every turn offers panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding landscapes. From there, embark on a hike through an ancient 400-year-old forest, where towering trees and moss-covered trails create a serene, almost magical atmosphere. Along the way, witness the incredible spectacle of salmon returning to their spawning grounds, a natural phenomenon that attracts a diverse array of wildlife and provides a unique glimpse into the cycle of nature.
As you explore deeper into the forest, prepare for close encounters with some of the region’s most iconic wildlife. There is a 90% chance of spotting black bears feeding on the salmon, along with opportunities to see majestic Bald Eagles soaring above the river. The trails also reveal stunning waterfalls, vibrant fall foliage, and several viewpoints perfect for photography or simply soaking in the scenery. This immersive experience combines the thrill of wildlife observation with the peacefulness of the forest, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
