On this Remembrance Day, we honour the storied past of the Pacific Yellowfin and every soldier who served.

Constructed in 1943, the Yellowfin began her journey as a U.S. military vessel, vigilantly serving during a time of global uncertainty. Her missions, cloaked in secrecy, spanned from the icy waters of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands to the vibrant coasts of North America, safeguarding the freedoms we cherish today.

After her military service, the Yellowfin embraced a new role, conducting government research before becoming a cherished vessel for family adventures, continuing to make waves with every voyage.

Today, as we navigate the same waters, we pay homage to those who fought for peace. Lest we forget.

"Just a magical experience from day one. We got so lucky with sightings of spirit bears, whales, grizzlies, and a wolf- just incredible to see and spend time with.

The captain, naturalist and entire crew were beyond compare-all so kind, friendly and interesting. We learned a ton and loved laughing at Colin's stories.

Kellie's food was incredible- so creative and tasty. We cannot say enough about the crew and how welcomed we felt. We'll treasure these memories (and pictures and videos) always!

Thank you, you all are amazing!"

Have you heard the mystical origins of the spirit bear according to Kitasoo Xai'xais legend?

It's said that the Raven transformed one in every ten black bears white, creating the spirit bear to remind the people of the ice-covered world long ago. This magical transformation was meant to make us grateful for the lush, bountiful lands we enjoy today. 🌿🐻✨

Did you know? Spanning from northern Vancouver Island to the southern tip of Alaska, the Great Bear Rainforest is a treasure trove of biodiversity and a stronghold of indigenous heritage. 🌲🌊

Governed by the , including the Wuikinuxv, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’xais, Nuxalk, Gitga’at, Gitxaala, Metlakatla, Old Massett, Skidegate, and the Council of the Haida Nation, this region is one of the last vast coastal temperate rainforests on the planet.

Its unique ecosystems, where land, sea, and freshwater converge, foster the growth of ancient forests nourished by nutrient-rich salmon, support rare white Spirit Bears, and offer sanctuary to Pacific coastal wolves adapted to marine hunting. 🐻🐺

🐻🌲 Bear Basics: Black, Grizzly & Spirit Bears Explained! 🌲🐻

Did you know BC is home to three incredible bear species? Here’s how to spot the differences:

Black Bears: The most common and smallest of the three, black bears are versatile and adaptable. They come in various colors from black to chocolate brown and even cinnamon!

Grizzly Bears: Larger and more robust than black bears, grizzlies can be recognized by their distinctive hu**ed shoulders and deeper face profile. They have a grizzled fur appearance, hence the name!

Spirit Bears (Kermode): A rare subspecies of the black bear, Spirit bears are known for their striking white or creamy fur. Found only in BC's Great Bear Rainforest, these bears are not albinos but have a unique genetic trait that results in their light coloring.

Each bear plays a vital role in our ecosystem and can be spotted while on board the Pacific Yellowfin 🐾🌳

🐋 Whale Watcher’s Guide to BC’s Coast! 🌊

Ever wondered about the differences between humpback, grey, and minke whales that grace our beautiful BC coast? Let’s dive in!

🐋 Humpback Whales: Known for their spectacular breaching and deep, haunting songs, humpbacks are massive, with long pectoral fins and unique tail markings.

🐋 Grey Whales: These whales are famous for their long migrations. Grey whales can be identified by their mottled grey skin and streamlined bodies. They love to feed in the shallow coastal waters, often seen spyhopping and mud-sifting.

🐋 Minke Whales: The smallest of our trio, minkes are sleek and fast. They are more elusive, often recognized by their pointed snouts, pointier fin and a white band on each flipper.

Lucky for us, all three species can be spotted along BC's Pacific coast! Can you identify which whale is in each photo?
