Our 7 hour excursion was truly amazing, especially once the sun came out. Doug takes the time to stop where the whales are and give you information about them, from the different types to the history of the resident orcas to the transient orcas. We travelled up and down the channel to see bears, plus he air drops the photos from the very same day to tour phone, because trust me his are better. I think what really stood out for me was the quality of the fellow passengers. Everyone is sharing in the excitement, passing around binoculars, and swapping spots to share the view. It's rare to see this type of camaraderie with strangers and I appreciated that, especially as you neared a bear that is happily munching while lazing. Truly worth it, so glad I spent the time and money on this.

The tour on the beautiful, roomy, 3-tier catamaran began from sunny Prince Rupert harbour and followed the beautiful coastline northward through calm waters to the head of Work Channel. There we were treated to 1 and a half hours of a pod of 8-10 huge Humpback whales seemingly performing for us! They are simply amazing creatures, magnificent and unforgettable in their movements. Our guides were lovely, providing just the right amount of description of the sights along the way and a bit of history. The vessel is very safe, with two pilots, and all the expected safety equipment. Snacks are available, or you can bring your own provisions. There were several children along who were enjoying themselves, with close adult supervision required. I would say it would appeal to ages 6 and above. Hats off to this company!! Highly recommended!!

This is very similar to the Coal Harbour Seawall back home. If the weather wasn't so cold it would have been a super nice walk. I heard in the summer time its busy here. People would come here for strolls. There are plenty of free parking here. Very nice place. Great place to take pictures. Nice viewpoint of the water. In the summer time, you can see the cruise ship coming in heading to the Port of Prince Rupert.

Prince Rupert is a dead spot that the cruise ships have to port at before returning to the U.S…read more There is absolutely nothing there except for a few gift shops. My recommendation is to get off, grab some Canadian gift shop items and get back on the ship as many people were doing. I'd say maybe an hour off the boat walking around was more than sufficient. Very nice people in the small town that actually had working phone booths, but other than that, not much of a tourist attraction. Another recommendation is that you use a credit card while in port and not U.S. currency. The reason I say this is that one, your bank converts your money into Canadian which is huge savings and two, they don't give U.S. coin change. They round it down to dollars if paying by cash and you are paying the higher Canadian rate.
