SEE GRIZZLIES, SAFELY -- AND AFFORDABLY:
Prince Rupert Adventure Tours, a company that's been operating since 1988, has launched a 100-passenger boat that will take you down rugged fiords into the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary -- home of the largest population of grizzly bears anywhere on Earth.
The six-hour trips cost $155 for adults, $135 for children -- box lunches included -- and are likely to get up close to orcas, eagles, seals, mountain goats and spectacular scenery even before you reach the sanctuary, where the catamaran will keep a respectable distance from shore to protect you and the endangered bears.
HOW TO GET TO PRINCE RUPERT:
You have a couple of spectacular options. You can take a B.C. ferry from Port Hardy, on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. The 18-hour, all-daylight trip has been called the poor man's Alaska cruise. Or you can take the train from Jasper to Prince Rupert, B.C. -- in Via's "Totem Deluxe" class, all the cars have domes for sensational sightseeing.
