Fun time The whale watching tour was great, the staff were incredible and friendly. We went for a four hour tour and saw tons of whales, lots of salmon and a couple porpoises. You can't control mother nature so as far as the behavior of the whales they seemed a little docile (no big breaches or bubble feeding). I would however do it again!

It was a Whale of an experience It was a perfect day ! The price of the experience is reasonable There weren't so many people that is was impossible to get good pictures. The crew is very knowledgeable and approachable, friendly and professional. The weather was good too. Good for expensive camera equipment and just the way the whales like it. Encourages their activity I think. Had been able to see whales in my job I had but never able to take pictures of the whales. We were lucky to see lots. I took pictures until my arms ached !!

Wonderful experience Had a great afternoon on the whale watching tour. The staff are welcoming and very knowledgeable about the sea life around Prince Rupert. We had a couple of excellent info sessions (thank you, Jasmine and Matt) during the four-hour tour, and it’s clear they all care deeply about the conservation of the whales and their habitat. We were very fortunate to see up to 10 humpbacks in Work Channel, as well as a sea lion and harbour seal. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful and unspoiled, almost worth the price of the tour all on its own. The large catamaran used for the tour is clean and spacious, with a licensed snack bar and washrooms - lots of areas for viewing. Would definitely book again.

The Captain and co captain very personable and friendly and, went out of their way to make it special for my 9 year old nephew. Boat is very clean and well maintained. Snacks and drinks and drinks were on sale and good variety. We were on the tour that had the highest record thus tear. We saw over 10 humpback whales, porpoises, otters and sea lion. Highly recommend!!!

A touching Wildlife adventure Guides were committed to making our experience special. Always there to answer questions and share knowledge when we approached them and their presentations were very informative and interesting. Boat was comfortable and the captain was very experienced - he was able to get us safely close to the young grizzly. We watched this young grizzly, eat sea grass, scratch its face and go for a swim to cool off - followed by a great shake of water! We also watched several male bears. Guides were helpful in spotting the wildlife - especially the sea wolf - what a treat to view! We appreciated guides asking all of us to follow a protocol while viewing and explaining why. I think all the crew care deeply for the wildlife. We also got to see Whales, seals, and eagles. My husband found the lunch provided tasty and filling. They offered good selection of beverages and snacks. As I have specific food sensitivities, I took my own lunch. The Grizzly Bear Adventure tour was well worth every penny !!! We recommend others to book early as they do sell out quickly! We booked in April for a July 20th tour.

Cool boat, nice food and drinks. And, well... jumping orcas, a crazy group of bald eagles, a black bear with her cubs, a young grizzly, and a very cute teenage grizzly. Highly recommended.

Zudem die atemberaubend schöne Landschaft von Nord BC. Ein besonderer Tag mit vielen positiven Erlebnissen. Die Crewmitglieder sind besonders freundlich, typisch kanadisch. Das Schlußhighlight war ein Link zu Dropbox, mit dem man Bilder des Tages, mit großem Zoom aufgenommen, herunterladen konnte. Danke dem Veranstalter. Tolles Erlebnis.

Bear Tours. Having just been on a tour, we checked in and were told that the previous days trip didn’t see any bears and we could, if we wish have a full refund. This was unbelievable considering the amount of money that would be returned without question That said we went on the trip, and whilst we only saw one bear, that was worth it. We also saw hump back whales and bald eagles. The staff kept us entertained throughout the trip and were very knowledgeable. They made every effort to ensure we could see what we did. On this trip was also people from the day before who had not seen a bear and this was given free which was unbelievably generous of the company, especially considering most bears will have moved in land by this time of the year for the salmon. All in all a good trip but wished we had seen more bears

Lifetime Experience My 9 yo daughter and I had an incredible time on our grizzly tour. Truly a life bucket list item checked off! It ended up being extra special, as we saw a group of feeding humpback whales on our way back to PR. Also, the crew shares the photos of the day through Dropbox. So if you're not a photographer like me, you will have some incredible pictures of the day!

Highlight of our trip! This trip was amazing from the beginning to the end. It far exceeded our expectations. The bears are very close. The captain let's you stay there long enough for everyone to get the pictures you want. They had a great surprise at the end. The crew were informative and all very nice. The captain was amazing with the boat driving. We saw whales both ways, seals, 8 Grizzlies, bald eagles, the meal was fantastic. It was just a really great experience.

Memorable wildlife tour of a lifetime. This tour far exceeded any expectations by comfortable steady catamaran out to the protected Khutzeymateen bear sanctuary. Enroute, 4 well-informed tour guides explained the history of the various small communities In the sanctuary andwe saw 15 bears including a mother and 2 cubs.Fabulous country totally untouched and also saw humpback whales and many eagles. A very enjoyable lunch and drink were served and our tour lasted one hour longer than expected due to the abundance of wildlife. A memorable day indeed.....but be sure to take warm clothing as well as hat and glovesif you want to spend time outside.

They take care of all the logistics so you just sit back, enjoy the spectacular views, and the bears and wildlife, of course. The boat is really specious and stable. The snack bar on the main deck has lots of choices plus a really cool laminated map of the area for purchase.

Very beautiful scenery and wildlife that we would not see otherwise. The boat was great to be able to see the bears. Found lots of room to get our pictures and stayed long enough at bears so everyone could get pictures but not too long as to disturb the bears.

Bucket List Grizzlies!! Hubby and I did the Grizzly tour on Sunday, and it was everything and more! The trip is aboard a beautiful catamaran. It took about 1.5 hrs to get to the site, and then you continue inland to check many different sites the bears frequent. We saw 5 different bears, and quietly watched them as our captain kept the boat close enough to view, but at a respectful distance. The onboard crew, Caitlin and Matt, were so friendly, and full of info! Thanks guys! Also, the wraps for lunch were super delicious. On the ride back, we went on the front deck and viewed many eagles diving in the water for chum! They were so close it was almost freaky! Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Grizzly Bear Tour Prince Rupert Adventure Tours did a remarkable job during the entire trip. The team explain safety on the boat, where we were going and what we hoped to see. We saw 8 grizzly bears during the trip. I would do it again. Prince Rupert Adventure takes pictures of the bear sightings during the trip which you can download at the end of the tour.

Exhilarating inspiring day of adventure! This experience exceeded expectations The captain and crew on the boat were very knowledgeable and respectful of the sanctuary we were visiting. The captain navigated as closely as possible to the sightings and everyone had the opportunity to see and take pictures of the beautiful landscape and wildlife. He allowed us time to experience the beauty and wonderment of being so close to the bears. We were so fortunate to have experienced more than just the bears. Porpoise sighting, sea lions, eagles Humpback whales and of course the beautiful bears! I would strongly recommend taking this tour as words cannot properly express or convey what an amazing experience it was. You will feel amazed, awestruck and inspired by this incredible tour. The team will showcase special spectacular points of interest along with a variety of interesting information. Plenty of great seats available, lots of room on decks to enjoy the spectacular sights! Dress accordingly (layers) it can be cooler with the wind. Be prepared to take a boatload of pictures!!! Charge your batteries before the trip!!! (Note the staff also take awe inspiring photos each trip. Definitely avail yourself of those as well!!!) Remember to bring your favourite snacks (Not sure if it’s the fresh air or the excitement of the day but it induces a desire for snacks 😊) The vessel does have a variety of snack options available if you forget to bring along. I hope everyone gets to enjoy this experience with as much wonder and jaw dropping joy as we did!!!

Outstanding experience A very well run experience with a full day out viewing grizzly bears, 10 in total with one mother and two cubs. The tide state was perfect for viewing the bears grazing on the shore line. It was a truly wonderful trip and we managed to see humpbacks on the way out and then on the way back too. The crew/staff were very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. If you can, put this on your bucket list, it's an awesome experience in a beautiful area.

Espectacular Reservamos una excursión para avistamiento de osos con esta agencia a través de HOLAND América en nuestro crucero por Alaska. El precio es elevado, pero la experiencia es inolvidable. Salimos del puerto de Price Rupert muy temprano, tras unas horas de agradable navegación llegamos a Khuzeymateen Ver osos está garantizado con esta agencia. Saben cómo hacerlo, llegan justo a la hora en que los grizzlis salen a comer en las pequeñas praderas cerca del agua. Vimos cuatro ejemplares distintos enmarcados entre una naturaleza virgen increíble. Además el avistamiento de águilas es otro puntazo. No le damos cinco estrellas a la agencia porque el burrito de carne que te dan por comida es muy mejorable y no me parece muy justo que por el precio que tienen te cobren un café aparte.

An Incredible Educational Experience Our Grade 8 class recently attended the Grizzly Bear Sanctuary with Northern Adventure Tours as part of a field trip, and the experience was absolutely first rate. The students thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the area and the grizzly bear habitat. The hospitality provided by the staff was tremendous from start to finish. The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive to every need of the group, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. This was truly an incredible learning opportunity for our students, combining adventure, local knowledge, and wildlife education in a memorable way. We highly recommend Northern Adventure Tours and the Grizzly Bear Sanctuary for future school classes and other groups looking for an outstanding educational experience.

A magical trip This was the best whale watching tour we have been on - amazing sightings, enthusiastic and knowledgeable crew and photos of the trip downloaded for us on our return journey. The boat was comfortable and there was plenty of room to stand and see bubble net feeding from 3 humpbacks again and again. We enjoyed hearing about how the scientific research boat linked up with the commercial tour and enabled us to find out how important their work was - both interests. Thank you.

Lovely afternoon. Found the vessel very comfortable, easy to move about. Superb scenery and ride. Even without sunshine, it’s a lovely afternoon. First suggestion is more frequent updates as to location and route during the trip. I didn’t see the tip jar that was apparently somewhere near the concession (which I did not use). Was awkwardly able to find a guide when disembarking. Second suggestion is to have guides right at exit location to accept tips.

A West Coast trip that fills your heart and soul. It is the second time I went on a Whale Watching trip from Prince Rupert with Captain Doug Davis from Adventure Tours. Both times I it was a wonderful experience. The first time we saw many whales by beautiful sunshine. My favorite part was when the captain stopped the engine and everyone on board stopped talking to listen to the whales breath and watching them dive. This time we drove further passing the light house on Green Island? and entering Work Channel. We saw Steller sea lions, birds and three whales. The air was mild and the water calm, this is an experience for heart and soul.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Whale Watching with Prince Rupert Adventure ToursAmazing experience! The boat was comfortable with great viewing areas, and the crew were knowledgeable and friendly. We saw humpback whales, porpoises, sea lions, and lots of seabirds — truly unforgettable. The price was fair for the length and quality of the trip. A must-do in Prince Rupert!

Enjoying the coastal scenery and marine wildlife. It is every time a pleasant experience to be out there on the water and enjoying the coastal scenery and a variety of marine wildlife. The captain and his knowledgeable staff made this whale watching tour again an enjoyable experience for me.

Watch and enjoy, not behind your camera! This was definitely the most amazing whale trip we have been on. The boat was clean and comfortable, the crew friendly and knowledgeable with interesting commentary about the area, the wildlife and the weather was stunning! What more could you ask for?Generous sharing of the captain’s and crew’s photos of course!This meant we were able to be astounded at the bubble net feeding strategy of three humpback whales without trying to take a photo or video ourselves. We watched in awe as these creatures demonstrated learnt behaviour again and again. Once we were heading back to Prince Rupert, we were shown how to share the photos and save them on our phones. They are a wonderful souvenir of a magical trip. Thank you so much, all of you, for going above and beyond.

Best part of 5 week trip On july 27, 2025 we finally made it out to Prince Rupert after some issues 3 year ago and had canceled the tour. Yhe wait was definitely worth it.The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area as well. Got to see 4 amazing Humpbacks, one which had a calf. Wally demonstrated how to do a bubble net, got to see Eagles up close and the lighthouse.Many amazing memories were made on the trip, and the captain was interactive with everyone. Will definitely be back, and looking forward to do the bear tour in the future as well as another whale tour.

Exciting and Accessible We were concerned about accessibility issues as one member of our party was in a wheelchair. Staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, assisting us throughout. Aisles on the boat were wide and easily accessible and windows low enough to see everything from the chair. Incredible experience.

Amazing Whale Watching Tour We enjoyed an amazing afternoon with the crew of Prince Rupert Adventure Tours. They were very knowledgeable and shared interesting information. We were able to get fairly close to the majestic humpbacks without disturbing them. The pod surfaced multiple times while we watched and the captain shared tips on how to determine when the whales would surface. The crew also identified some of the whales by their markings. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Great tour We were on a tour of Prince Rupert from our cruise. Our driver Keith was so knowledgeable, gave us so many stories . The trolley took us to fantastic look outs, great places to see beautiful totem poles . His trolley was “ guacamolly 1108” If you go, try to get on his tour. Most memorable

Whale watching while on a Seabourn cruise. We took this tour while on a Seabourn cruise and it exceeded our expectations! Comfortable boat, friendly and knowledgeable crew and we saw whales! Captain deftly guided the boat to maximize our viewing, many birds, sea lions and humpbacks! The best surprise was at the end when the crew had taken beautiful pictures with their high powered camera and shared them with the entire boat!

A whale of a time! We had a great time and saw lots of humpback whales, including a playful calf that appeared to be waving at us with its pectoral fin and an adult who spent a long time slapping the water with its tail! I especially enjoyed hearing about local history and learning about the local whales. It was really interesting to hear about the research that was being done. If I go again I will make sure to wear rubber boots, more waterproof rain gear and a toque! Even in August the wind and the rain eventually seeped in and made us cold, and it is definitely more fun being on deck when the whales are nearby!

Wavelet the Humpback My son and I went on the July 30th whale watching tour and we had a fantastic time. The boat was very comfortable and the staff was very friendly and super knowledgeable. We saw humpbacks, stellar sea lions and porpoises and had an entertaining show of fin slaps and breaching put on by Wavelet the humpback who was spotted on our return trip to the dock. Definitely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Prince Rupert!

An experience we will never forget. We took the tour of the grizzly sanctuary on July 26, 2025.Absolutely outstanding and astounding experience! The crew were highly knowledgeable and experienced professionals, who knew exactly what 100 of us wanted to see and made it happen, The boat was very clean and comfortable and even with that many people it never felt crowded. The bathrooms were clean and larger than we expected. We will never forget the experience of seeing one of these powerful animals close up, going about its normal routines, oblivious to 100 sets of eyes watching in mute and awed silence.The numerous close up whale, seal, sea lion and eagle sightings along the way were icing on the cake.Thank you Prince Rupert Adventure Tours! You gave us everything we wanted and so much more.- Heidi and Terry, Burnaby B.C., Canada

It was more than just whales it was an experience We went on the whale watching tour and it was a great experience! Seeing the BC coast from the water is breathtaking. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and respectful of the history and culture of the area. Although the whales were a bit shy on the day of our tour we still ended up with some fantastic photos. A special shout out to Espen for the extra photos taken during our tour and informative but funny intro to Prince Rupert.

A very special place to visit Not only did we see bears and their cubs in several spots along the way, but we were also lucky enough to see humpback whales bubble netting in a co-operative manner for feeding. Bald eagles were also in abundance. There may have been 100 people but there is lots of room on the boat for everyone to feel they had a front row seat

Experience of a Lifetime I had the absolute pleasure to go on a Grizzly Tour for my 30th birthday with a good friend. Everything about the tour was exceptional, from the staff to the boat and of course the amazing wildlife and breathtaking scenery, even the provided lunch was great. While the boat was fairly full it did not feel crowded and allowed ample space to move around the various viewing areas. Staff members were very friendly and informative. I would absolutely book the same tour again and highly recommend it to anyone interested, it's truly an experience of a lifetime.
