Diamond Resorts International®, a global leader in the hospitality and vacation ownership industries, recently provided members of THE Club® a wild opportunity to witness grizzly bears in a remote area of British Columbia, Canada on an exclusive Member Adventure.

“Every detail of the trip, from the departure date during migrating season to the location and activities is carefully designed to provide members with unlimited experiences that they’ll remember for a lifetime.”

The group of nine members spent more than a week exploring the pristine wilderness of the Bella Coola Valley, enjoying picnic lunches, afternoon hikes through the forest and guided wildlife tours.

River otters, black bears and grizzlies could be seen each morning from the lodge’s private viewing deck, but members received an even better opportunity to get up-close to the animals on a river raft tour. Grizzlies bathed and fished on the riverbanks, as members silently drifted by.

“This Member Adventure is an explorer’s dream vacation experience,” said Michael Flaskey, Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Resorts International®. “Every detail of the trip, from the departure date during migrating season to the location and activities is carefully designed to provide members with unlimited experiences that they’ll remember for a lifetime.”

Member Adventures are offered exclusively to members of THE Club®, Diamond Resorts’ flexible points-based exchange program, and have provided members the opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, walk the Great Wall of China and explore Antarctica.
