Whale Watching Tour Prince Rupert, BC

Prince Rupert Whale Watching Trips & Whale Watching Tours

Just out past the Islands and Inlets that protect Prince Rupert is a marine world that awaits discovery! Whales have enraptured the human race ever since we started sailing the oceans of the world. No other creatures capture our attention like these leviathans of the deep. Humpback, Gray, Orcas and Minke whales utilize the waters in these areas throughout the year as an ocean highway for migration north or south en route to their respective summer/winter grounds, and these whales are often found feeding on the abundance of sea life found in the waters along the way. In addition to whales, there are colonies of sea lions, curious sea otters, porpoises and seals that play and reside in this region. While you are on the whale-watching trip, marine birds are also a popular attraction, and with a little luck, the group may be rewarded with a bear sighting as the bears descend to the shorelines to feed on mussels or other sea treats. While in Prince Rupert, choose Seashore Charters to take you to the whales for an experience you will never forget!
