What to do and see in Prince Rupert, Canada: The Best Things to do

Prince Rupert Adventure Tours can show you the most stunning and magnificent displays of wildlife in and around B.C.’s sheltered Northern Inside Passage. Our grizzly bear tours in the Khutzeymateen Valley provide a chance to see these legendary giants in their natural environment! Our goal is to provide you with a safe, pleasurable, unique wilderness experience, without altering the natural behaviour of these creatures. Join our whale watching tour later in the season to experience the greatest show on Earth! North Coast whale watching is acknowledged as one of the most accessible and predictable locations to see whales. You may encounter grey whales feeding around enormous kelp beds, humpback whales flashing their unique tails as they dive to feed, orca whales following the migrating salmon, or porpoises playfully gliding alongside the boat. Stellar sea lions, harbour seals, eagles, blue herons and sea otters may also make an appearance. Climb aboard for the adventure of a lifetime!
