very cute house with everything you need! the space was very cosy and the view was incredible, short walk down to the main area and close to the grocery store and restaurants. it’s a little home away from home and the host communication was prompt and friendly :)

Lisa is THE best. Unfortunately there was a detour because of road work and I couldnt get my car up the detour. Lisa was so incredibly nice to drive me to my car a few times so I didn’t have to take my car on the detour. She was also amazing in organizing champagne for us on the night I proposed. Our accommodation was spotless and had all the amenities you could think of. Yes there is a 3km gravel road, but I drove it in my Jetta so anyone else should be fine. I almost wish I didn’t have to write a review because I just want to book this place all to ourselves.
Located in Port McNeill, 27 miles from Port Hardy Ferry Terminal, Humpback Inn has accommodations with free WiFi and free private parking. The motel has family rooms.

Visiting Alert Bay and the Umista Cultural Centre is a must-do for any BC resident. the history and story of the Kwawakuwak (spelt better) is important and the community and island are beautiful. Don't forget Culture Shock on the dock - a great shoppe with local artisan's work and amazing folks who run it. the giftshoppe at Umista is also wonderful...
had great food @ pemba's kitchen and also the Bayside Inn Cafe for breakfast... go hiking, go explore - it's amazing

Access to Alert Bay is by one of the new BC Ferries from Port McNeill. The ferry is a very smooth 40 min ride. The people we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Do not miss the U'Mista Cultural Centre which was very interesting and one highlight of our visit. We also saw the world's tallest totem pole which is 173 feet tall, and enjoyed many wonderful views around the island, which is not very large.

Magical.
Magical. To feel Alert Bay/Yalis, one needs to spend time in the U'Mista Cultural Centre and wandering around and talking to local First Nations people, all of whom we found very open and friendly and willing/interested to talk about and share their culture.

This is a magical village - perhaps half First Nations, half European non-indigenous - working together. More carved totem poles and other carvings around the village than I have seen anywhere in the Pacific Northwest (including Haida Gwaii). We spent five nights/six days there, seemed just right to visit the world-renowned U'mista Cultural Centre, wander the village and spend some time bush-walking through the forests on the "back-side" of the island. We spent one day on a very worthwhile and satisfying bear and other wildlife tour boat, lead by First Nations guides, ending up with an impromptu guided tour of U'mista, an unforgettable experience with people who know and have been affected. We felt it a privilege and it was deeply moving to visit the cultural centre, a special place for the repatriation of sacred First Nations artifacts. We walked, easily, everywhere, no need for a car, in fact, I believe a car would be a bother and a hindrance. The Seine Boat Inn was a tremendous place to stay - ask for one of the two fully self-contained suites perched over the water with their own decks to the sunset.

Alert Bay is a small island that is rich in First Nations culture and history. The U’mista Culture Centre is a must see, a board walk along the waterfront takes you through town and past the burial ground with several old totem Poles.
I was there mid week and a lot of eating places were closed so bring your own snacks, maybe more is open on the weekend.

For the two days we were there, we saw just about everything we wanted to but would have enjoyed spending more time at each place. Local people were very friendly and we probably learned more about the history and life in Alert Bay just from talking to people.
Despite being an older building, the rooms, especially the bathroom, appeared to have been recently updated. Everything was clean and well-maintained and there was a barbeque that we were able to use. The full garden of planters on the deck made for a beautiful setting and having a room that stretched out over the water allowed for a beautiful view of the bay. The location was great. Steps right across the street led to the Alert Bay Ecological Park and there were a number of restaurants and a grocery store within easy walking distance.
This one-bedroom house on the bluff overlooking the harbour with amazing views was a superb location for our 3 night stay on Cormorant Island. Cormorant is a magical place and the Village of Alert Bay is amazingly welcoming and friendly. We attended the 65th Anniversary celebration of the local library/museum, toured U'Mista Cultural Centre, walked the Ecological Park trails and soaked in the local atmosphere in the Village shops, shopped for gifts at Culture Shock where you can find the best coffee in the Bay.
We had a lovely stay in Alert Bay at the Orca Inn with our extended family including the ever
so silent children :) A lovely little Inn with nooks and books and a fantastic view of the sea.
A whale and porpoises obliged us with frolicking right in front of our lounge window!
Very glad to dine at the restaurant and enjoy live music with the locals
at the pub. A genuine gem and would not hesitate to return. Big thanks to Larry :)
Very close to the center of the town of Alert Bay. The Inn is within walking distance to the ferry terminal. Terry Lin and other staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our suite 103 gets a bit of "corridor view" of the water from the patio. Surprise a BBQ on the back porch is available to use. People on the island were very friendly except the Information Center.
Wooden suite above the water with a 180° window view of the bay and the strait.Excellently equipped with amenities and kitchen utensils and absolutly clean. Wonderful staff who seem to enjoy having guests and sharing their knowledge and experiences about the island.
Adventuring Alert bay is a unique experience...we will definitely come again.
Host were very friendly and informative. Our room had a cute private balcony to watch the beautiful sunsets. The property has a very interesting history with lots of pictures and stories of the past glory days of Alert Bay. The buffet breakfast was a great surprise with delicious home made treats as well as the usual coffee etc.
Seine Boat Inn is so awesome! The property is extremely well maintained and beautiful! Your room is right over the water and the views - from any of the rooms, really, are amazing. The proprietor is very friendly and knowledgeable.
Don’t miss U’mista and Culture Shock Coffee.
This is a historic hotel right on the beach, with views of nearby islands and a spectacular sunset. Our room was small and very comfortable. We had our own balcony and access to communal living spaces. Breakfast is included and the hostess also cooks dinner on request—delicious.
Great stay, friendly staff, good location. While the hotel itself is a bit outdated, it makes it quite charming and authentic and we felt at home! Self access to coffee, tea etc. no matter the time of day with great sea views!
The most perfect little Inn by the ocean . Very clean and very friendly. Met with the owner and this place is absolutely amazing . Hope to come back again . Can highly recommend Seine Boat Inn - you will not be disappointed.
Pemba and William were excellent hosts and extremely helpful and friendly. Pemba is an excellent cook and I will definitely make another trip up to Alert Bay just to visit them and stay here again.
Don’t let the simple exterior fool you, this is an AMAZING hotel with a GREAT view while you eat and PHENOMENAL food and service by the LOVELY couple - Paula and Pablo - who own and run the place!
This home was in a perfect location to explore Alert Bay. The views were spectacular, everything was within walking distance and the kitchen had the basic necessities.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Seine Boat Inn! Very comfortable and clean, the location was great and the view was beautiful. Hope to return again sometime...
Great location in the heart of Alert Bay. Great food at the restaurant and pub is a really good time. The property is old but with that comes charm and character!
