After a short night we enjoyed our coffee and then headed into town to tourist info. While Bob was looking for information on Haida Gwaii I went into the Prince Rupert Adventure Tours in the Cow Bay area. I had listened to people on the ferry talking about doing the grizzly bear tour. There was one leaving in a couple of hours and it wasn't very full. Seven hours with lunch included for $240 a person. Pretty steep but we have decided that this is a bucket list trip and we need to do what ever we want.
The boat was only half full to its capacity so we had lots of room to view from all the various decks. It is a family business. Dad, the captain and son Trent, first mate and provider of information as we traveled. Two young native women were the only other staff on board. We spent two hours traveling out from Prince Rupert up Chatham Sound until we turned into Khutzeymateen Inlet. We saw Grizzlies, a wolf, orcas, sea lions and just before getting back to PR the crew fed the eagles off Metlakatla village.
It was a fantastic trip with wonderful staff. We were offloaded about 7:00 and we headed back to our camp spot overlooking the harbour in the Walmart parking lot.
It wasn't a planned excursion but it was well worth the money:).....just doing a few things before we hit the 'Islands'.
