The Adara Hotel in Whistler, BC has opened its doors to a winter package for wildlife adventurers and bird watchers. The deal, called “Eagle Safari Package,” focuses on watching the 3,000-4,000 eagles that arrive in the Squamish Valley. They come to dine on the hundreds of Chum salmon that are spawning during this time.
The Package Deal
The accommodation package sounds really fun. You will be taken on “rubber rafts along the lower sections of the Cheakamus and Squamish Rivers at a leisurely and relaxing pace.” What sounds neat is that you get to see the birds and eagles as they naturally are- it also doesn’t help that it’s something different to do in Whistler when everyone else is skiing.
The tour includes a hot chocolate break and lunch at the Howe Sound Inn. You also get round-trip transportation from the hotel in Whistler to Squamish and then the Eagle Safari Tour.
Accommodation with Style
- One night in a Superior Guestroom or Loft Suite at the Adara Hotel, Whistler
- Breakfast for two at The Mix, the hotel’s restaurant
- Eagle Safari Tour for Two, with a guide
- Ground transport for the whole tour
- A disposable camera (what an old-fashioned touch!)
The Price
The package starts at $479 CDN plus taxes for two people from November 24 – December 19, 2007. The cost then jumps up to $719 CDN plus taxes from January 2 – February 17, 2008. You can only book on weekends, so reserve now to make sure it’s not filled up.
