Together with the two contiguous wildlife sanctuaries of Klong Saen and Klong Nakkha and the adjacent national park of Kaeng Kung, Khao Sok is one of the largest protected areas in southern Thailand and one of Asia’s last viable habitats for tigers and other large mammals.
Carpeted in lush tropical evergreen forests, Khao Sok straddles the central mountain range of the Thai-Malay peninsula midway between Phuket Island and Koh Samui.

At Great Bear Rainforest, discover one of the world’s best places to observe grizzly (brown) bears in a 1.8 million hectare temperate coastal rainforest located on Canada’s Pacific Coast.
The Great Bear Rainforest is home to hundreds of animal species, including kermode and grizzly bears, cougars and wolves. Look out for bald eagles, 1000-year-old remnants of Native Indians who once lived here, as well as 61m-tall red cedar and spruce trees.
Each season offers a unique opportunity to view grizzly bears in the wild. In spring, board a small boat and observe grizzlies as they graze on grasses and sedges and engage in mating behaviour. During summer, see grizzlies gorge on berries, graze on estuarine grasslands and scout for salmon.
