Travel - Fall the Time for Wildlife Cruises in B.C.

Victoria, B.C., Canada, July 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Skip the slow, sunny days of July for travel.

There's a good reason to save your trip until the fall: in the Pacific Northwest, September and October are peak time for wildlife viewing.

Salmon hit the coast then, and bears, wolves and whales follow. Then migrating birds converge on bays to rest.

Maple Leaf Adventures, one of the premier Canadian adventure cruise companies, offers 5-day and longer nature cruises each fall to explore this bonanza in British Columbia's prime wildlife areas.

Like an Antarctic or Galapagos trip, guests travel aboard a 92-foot tall ship with expert naturalists and guides. They explore remote archipelagos, have plenty of time ashore, do wildlife viewing, get lots of one-on-one time with the naturalist, and enjoy gourmet food.

Dates:
- Great Bear Rainforest, Sep. 7-15, Sep. 17-26, from USD $3900 pp all inclusive except air.
- Whales & Totems of Vancouver Is., Sep. 28-Oct. 3, Oct. 5-10, USD $2100 pp all inclusive except air.
- Gulf Islands National Park, Oct. 15-20, USD $1760 pp all inclusive except air.

The company recently received a very high rating by National Geographic Adventure editors.
