Bear & Wildlife

More Than a Destination — A Way of Experiencing Chilko Lake
Nestled on the shores of one of British Columbia’s most breathtaking landscapes, our lodge was created for those who seek more than just a getaway. Here, adventure is effortless, hospitality is personal, and every detail is shaped by the land around us.

"I just had my third visit to Tsylos and can't wait until I can get back there again. The bear viewing in the fall is outstanding, primarily due to the incredible guiding by the staff... As for the picture-taking, my hard drive is now overflowing with bear images and I have a great many trophy shots to show my friends. Thanks for another fabulous stay!"

"I have learned a lot of fascinating things about the bears, the salmon and the ecology of the area from Josh and the other guides. And arguably most special of all, I have gotten to know many bears as individuals, seeing some of them year after year like old friends."

"The guides are amazing and know just how to find the bears and keep the boats steady while you get your perfect shot(s)! The grizzlies themselves are beautiful creatures and the guides make sure to keep them totally comfortable so that they will keep on fishing, fighting and playing so you can keep on shooting!"
