Princess Louisa Inlet – Chatterbox Falls

Beautiful in every season, in every weather condition..

A the head of Princess Louisa Inlet, famous Chatterbox Falls is the ULTIMATE tour destination. “ Amazing! … Awesome! … Tremendous! ” These are only a few of the words used by people who have experienced it. You have to visit and feel it to truly understand. Steep glacial carved walls of granite rise out of what is often mirror calm water. The enclosure is surreal.

There are 3 parts to your tour day. First: the tour

You’re on the boat about 2 hours. Enjoy the ride like you would a show. As you wind your way through the remote areas of Jervis Inlet our commentary highlights many of the features of this magnificent fjord. Be patient and let the operator tell the stories.  All the major points will be mentioned in the spots where you’re best positioned to see them.

Pass through Malibu Rapids into Princess Louisa Inlet. It’s not a navigational obstacle for your professional operator. Run the length of Princess Louisa Inlet. Glacial action carved these steep sided fjords. Sheer granite walls rise from the ocean to plateau areas 5000 feet above. When it rains there are countless waterfalls cascading down. Each passing weather system causes major changes to the look of the Inlets.

Second : Free time ashore.

Enjoy free time in Princess Louisa Marine Park, right beside world famous Chatterbox Falls. It’s a small area so you have time to walk around the park and savour the lunch you brought. It’s also the prime time to talk more with your operator. They need to stay near the boat so go to the dock and use this time to ask all your questions.

Walking in Princess Louisa Marine Park is limited. The loop around the Park is about 500 m (1/3 mile) and flat. There are picnic sites and a covered, open sided shelter. Enjoy the access to the sandy beach.

Going to swim? The water is always “fresh”. For your safety we recommend swimming from the beach. We always discourage swimming from a busy dock area.

Third: Transport back to Egmont

This is direct, without stops or diversions. It’s another good time to interact with the operator and talk about areas of special interest for you. The trip home takes about 90 minutes; a straight run without planned commentary.

Ticket sales are available daily through much of the year. We recommend booking to confirm your reservation. Charters are always possible.

> Check Availability

On Saturday June 22 2024 we have a special evening tour scheduled, to celebrate the summer solstice. It’s the same program with a special departure time so you can get a unique view of the Inlet in the late afternoon / evening.  BOOK NOW   for Princess Louisa Inlet Evening Special.

5 Hour Tour (10:30AM – 3:30PM)

Tours depart from the Backeddy Marina:  16660 Backeddy Rd, Egmont, BC  and are available year round. Winter is a fabulous time to make this trip. In low season when there are no schedules with ticket sales available consider a charter.

Group departures can be arranged to suit any schedule. Call toll free to 1-800-870-9055 to ask about making special arrangements.

Adults: $185.00 + 9.25 (5% GST) Youth: (under 12) $125.00 + 6.25  (5% GST) Book Princess Louisa Inlet tour tickets

> BOOK NOW

What to Expect

Tours depart from the Backeddy Marina at 10:30 am (it’s not essential but we recommend that you overnight on the Sechelt Peninsula; 2 nights is even better.) On this tour you can marvel at the large landscapes, waterfalls, native pictographs, glaciers, and early settlement areas. The boat operator will comment on the most interesting features of Jervis Inlet. We touch on the history, geography and current events. This is the highlight for a lot of passengers. There are so many interesting things to see in the 30 mile trip! Don’t try to pay attention to everything. Pick out what fascinates you. Relax and enjoy yourself.

At the entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet we pass through Malibu Rapids. This narrow channel was overlooked by the first European explorer. The shallow channel restricts water flow so extreme currents develop during large tidal exchanges. It’s no problem for our fast planing hull boats and capable operators. Inside Princess Louisa Inlet everything seems to get bigger, steeper and grander. When you go ashore in the Provincial Park, relax and enjoy free time to explore. There is a dock and short 500 meter (1/3 mile) round trip walking trail that gives you easy access to the base of the legendary Chatterbox Falls. There is also a picnic area (we recommend you bring a lunch) and outhouses.

Our tour boats are classified “Small Passenger Vessels” by Transport Canada. For passenger comfort on a long day like this we use boats with cabins and inside seating. The back deck area is open for unrestricted viewing.

What to Bring

• Packed Lunch for picnic at the Provincial Park.
• Light sweater and or rainwear.
• Camera (and protective case/bag).
• Sunscreen and sunglasses and / or sunhat.
• Comfortable footwear is recommended. Soft-soled shoes are best.

The “Into the Night” Journey presents an opportunity to sea kayak at night, and learn about one of the largest daily mass migrations in the world. It is a surreal experience to open our senses as we discover the nocturnal world.. Living organisms emit light, causing the water to glow and sparkle magically. Any motion in the ocean accents this offering, a dance of light as we paddle in darkness. The night sky is magnificent and the journey offers time for solo reflection in a safe and silent environment.

Experience the ocean in a unique way that few have had the opportunity to enjoy!  Witness the waters and marine life of the Sechelt Inlet awaken with a bioluminescent glow. Your kayak glides as if flying, opening your senses in the silence, inviting you to connect deeply with the life source of our planet and the gifts of the unseen world of nature.
