In September of 2011 I had the privilege and honor of touring the Great Bear Rainforest aboard “The Great Bear II” courtesy of Eric and Trish Boyum. Eric as Captain along with crew were exceptional hosts, the meals were exquisite and scenery unsurpassed. Words can’t quite express how unique of an environment the Great Bear Rainforest truly is. One can only experience it for themselves and as one of the last coastal temperate rainforests left on Earth I would suggest you visit. It’s unfortunate that so few Canadians and the rest of the World are unaware of this gem but maybe that’s a good thing too.
