“I really appreciated all the hard work and effort everyone put in. The staff’s energy at your Event Centre was amazing and they really helped rally the troops! I think it was just a fun day for friends and family which in our industry is a HUGE deal. The major benefit for our company was the chance for staff to unwind, get to know each other and just enjoy being outdoors. We absolutely received value for money. Canadian Outback was wonderful. With our thousands of changes in ideas, locations etc they were always available and up to the challenge. I think any corporation would benefit from their services.” Relic Entertainment
bald EAGLE SAFARI BIRDWATCHING ADVENTURE
Bald Eagle bird watching in a picture-perfect wilderness setting!
Welcome aboard! From late November to early February each year, you and your family can get the best chance of witnessing one of nature’s most awesome bird watching spectacles in Brackendale British Columbia, just a short drive from Vancouver and Whistler.
In this picture-perfect wilderness setting we will sweep you right off your feet in our expedition-class river rafts, the ultimate viewing platform for observing one of the highest concentrations of bald eagles in the world. Annually many eagles descend upon the Squamish Valley gathering in Brackendale to feast on Chum salmon spawning. Just an hour from Vancouver and 45 minutes from Whistler, guides skillfully ply the placid Squamish down river waters, in idyllic safety and comfort. Bird watching simply doesn't get any better than this.
Need to get up to Whistler or Squamish from Vancouver? Rent a car from Enterprise or check out the convenient Greyhound bus schedule.
“WOW! This was an outstanding trip. I eagerly recommend it to anyone wanting a fun, educational outdoor adventure.”

Your 1 to 2 hour ultimate bald eagle birdwatching safari adventure includes a spectacular scenic river journey without the worry of white water to spoil camera shots or observation opportunities. The pace is leisurely, relaxing ... a perfectly tranquil way to fully experience bald eagles in their natural habitat.
No need for special equipment, this is 'adventure-at-ease' for virtually every age and group, even families with children as young as five. This is an ideal outing for tourists and non-tourists alike, a well organized, experiential and educational excursion for youth groups, Scouts and Guides, to school groups. A paradise for photographers; a first-rate educational experience; an authentic outdoor classroom hosted by knowledgeable, professional and fully certified guides.
If safety is a concern, it need not be. Quite simply, our gifted team of river guides love to run this river and it shows every day as they live stories worth telling.
If you drive yourself to Squamish, some visitors like to combine our Eagle Safari bird watching tour with a self-guided tour of the Tenderfoot Creek Hatchery, also located in the Squamish/Brackendale area. This is a wonderful way to become even more knowledgeable about this fascinating eco-system. More information on this fish hatchery experience can be found here.
“Not only did we learn interesting facts, but our guide showed a genuine interest in our group. He made us feel relaxed, safe, and happy."
