When visiting Prince Rupert, Cow Bay and the historic Atlin Terminal one can’t help but notice the “Big Yellow Boat,” flagship of Prince Rupert Adventure Tours. A 72-foot Catamaran named Inside Passage, the ship takes fortunate explorers on a unique North Coast expedition to the Khutzeymateen Inlet and Grizzly Bear Sanctuary.

Over the two-hour cruise from Prince Rupert, guests aboard the Inside Passage are treated to a wildlife-viewing experience like none other. First off, this North Coast area is teeming with marine wildlife and the opportunities to view humpback and killer whales, sea lions and a variety of marine birds are truly world-class. The boat ride in Canada’s Great Wet North is well worth the price of admission on its own!

The jewel of the Inside Passage tour is the trip into the Khutzeymateen, where guests get an opportunity to view Grizzly Bears in their wild habitat. Whether feeding on Sedge grass in Spring and Summer or wandering creek mouths looking for salmon in Fall, the Khutzeymateen is one of Canada’s most wild and most beautiful ecosystems.

For a one-day trip from Prince Rupert harbour and Atlin Terminal, Prince Rupert Adventure Tours and Inside Passage deliver the chance to experience the wild and raw beauty of the North Coast.

Tim Milne On Prince Rupert Adventure Tours

For the past decade, we’ve had the pleasure of watching Inside Passage up close in Prince Rupert and cruising North Coast waters. It’s an iconic addition to the Atlin Terminal and Cow Bay Area of Rupert and provides guests with a super unique opportunity. We’ve journeyed on board and followed the Inside Passage in our own boat en route to the Khutzeymateen and it’s incredible how much marine area the tours cover. The Khutzeymateen Grizzlies and the variety of marine wildlife are truly incredible!
