The numbers of Eagles that return to the Fraser Valley can reach into the thousands  The annual Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival occurs the third weekend in November. In 2008 this takes place on November 15th and 16th

Fraser River Safari will offer two ways soft adventurers can combine eagle watching and river tours during the two day event.

This is a full day adventure and will take guests to several sites to enjoy the very best of the Fraser Valley Bald

Mighty Fraser in cozy comfort while the guide will share stories about the river that carved a legacy for the Province.


11:45am Arrive at Kilby Provincial Park where the Fraser River Safari guide will escort passengers to the Historic Site where lunch is hot and delicious and ready to eat. Tour the site and browse the gift shop too.


1:00pm Board the coach which is waiting to take it’s crew to Leq’a:mel First Nations Hall. Inside the hall there are many different displays and speakers that highlight the overall message behind the festival. Learn a little about nature and the environment and browse the wares of the incredibly talented artisans.


2:30pm It is now time to jump back on board the coach and cruise down the scenic 7 to one of Mission’s most special spots. Your next stop is the Xa:ytem Longhouse interpretive Centre, a 9000 year old ancient Aboriginal village. There is an incredible gift shop here also. One need not worry, everyone will know how to pronounce Xa:ytem by the time they leave there.


3:45pm This is the last leg of the journey- the coach will takes guests back to Fraser River Safari base where the day began. A day discovering the eagles of Valley is now complete.
