In May, June and July, the American bald eagles roam the skies of Prince Rupert by the hundreds in search of their next meal. Get acquainted with them on this marine wildlife and historical lighthouse cruise by beautiful 72-foot catamaran. The vessel is heated and has fully covered cabins with four outdoor viewing decks.
As you cruise along the Pacific coast, this outing immerses you in some of the most beautiful scenery in BC. Keep your eyes and ears open, as this area is also known for its abundance of marine wildlife, including humpback whales on the prowl for krill and orcas following schools of salmon. The complexities of the food chain will play out right before your eyes. Watch for some world-famous lighthouses, too, and learn about the fascinating history of these beacons and their keepers.
Return to the Atlin Dock, adjacent to the cruise ship dock, in Prince Rupert, where your tour concludes.
Notes:
Motorized or electric wheelchairs are not allowed on the boat. There is limited capacity for wheelchairs. Staff and crew will help to the best of their ability with guests needing assistance down the ramp and boarding the vessel. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion; outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf. Tour requires approximately five minutes of walking between the cruise ship pier and Atlin Dock. Wear sturdy non-skid shoes. Snacks and beverages, including beer and wine, are available at the kiosk on board the vessel (at your own expense). There is a ramp to negotiate at the tour boat dock; it can be steep at low tide. Guests prone to motion sickness should consider this before booking and/or take appropriate medication. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
