We visited Julius and Kristin a few years ago in early June, we were treated royally - Kristin's cooking is fantastic. The cabins are great, just what you want for relaxing and the level of knowledge and expertise about bears was outstanding. A great holiday, we were hoping to go back again this year but unfortunately can't, but we will... More

We visited the ranch in early Oct. The setting is idyllic, the cabin was warm and cosy, and the staff, exceptional. I call them 'staff' but, from the first moment , we felt like a family. They all went out of their way to ensure that our stay was everything we wanted it to be. And the food? Well I... More

Hugely enjoyed our trip to Grizzly Bear ranch in mid-October 2012. For viewing bears in their natural setting and unspoilt by human encroachment, this does not get any better. Saw loads of bears and learnt loads about them in the process. Julius and Kristin have a created a little magical corner in the natural world and we are much the... More

Everything we had hoped and more. We were the last visitors of the season but were treated as if we were the first. Julius and Kristin were great hosts, they along with the guides , Lilly , Tamara and Ollie were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the bears and the other animals we encountered. We stayed for 3 nights as... More

Given the other great reviews, how do I describe just how fantastic my stay at Grizzly Bear Ranch last week (October 2012) was? Watching bears has been something I’ve wanted to do for over 20 years, so as long as I was lucky enough to see at least one, I would have been happy. I did not expect to meet... More

My husband and I stayed at the Grizzly Bear Ranch in mid October of 2012, and the both of us can not wait to return. The ranch exceeded our "high" expectations  in every possible way. The ranch is situated  in the middle of no- where, but... we were far from roughing it. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable and the... More

We visited Grizzly Bear Ranch in late September; specifically visiting at this time to catch the salmon run and choosing GBR for the unique, personal wildlife experience. The setting in which we were able to view the bears and other wildlife with minimum disruption to them, either from the riverbank or on the river itself, made it feel all the... More

My wife Veronica and I had waited 9 long months for our visit and it was so worth the wait! I'm not sure that I can add much to what has been said previously - the accomodation and food are superb and the location is spectacular. Julius and Kristin are great and obviously passionate about bears. The same came be... More

I'm not going to take up a lot of words on this. The other reviews say it all and I completely endorse what others have said. We saw bears, but even if we hadn't (Julius rightly says that it is up to the bears!), it would still have been a great experience. Julius, Kristin and the guides are so knowledgable... More

We spent 3 nights (9-12 September) and will never forget it. Unbelievable river and scenery, great people with perfect attitudes. Accommodation and food also excellent. I thought that the rafting would be a wet and cold experience but thanks to the equipment provided it was neither - just spectacular - I recommend it to anyone. Saw 3 grizzly bears, 1... More
