Bald eagle viewing is quickly becoming one of Whistler's most popular activities. Tour buses whisk you 45 minutes south of Whistler to Brackendale - to the world's highest concentration of bald eagles.

The best time to take in these birds is from November to February. The birds perch themselves on nearby trees and patiently wait for their next meal - fresh salmon swimming in the Squamish river. Then they swoop in for the catch. An awe-inspiring spectacle for all ages!

Some tours include a narrated walking tour and binoculars. Dress warmly and don't forget your camera.

Whistler is full of natural wildlife to be respected and admired. Whether you are out on the golf course or on a nature tour keep your eyes open - you won't see any of this in the city!
