The voyage to Port Alice leads into the traditional territory of the Quatsino First Nation, in the heart of the wildest part of Vancouver Island.

This is where you find crowd-free access to prime fishing and recreation areas among the coves, inlets and islands of these deep, glacial waterways. The sheltered waters of Neroutsos Inlet are perfect for kayaking, scuba diving, wildlife viewing, fishing and prawning. Up here, expect to see eagles, bears, sea otters, sea lions, orcas and humpback whales.

The municipally managed Rumble Beach Marina offers moorage for vessels up to 100′, at $1.00 per foot per day. Moorage fees include potable water, garbage disposal, fish cleaning station, public washrooms, pay showers, and a laundry facility. No power. For haulers, use our paved ramp boat launch and parking for $10 per day. The Marina Manager is available June through September. Fuel can be delivered to the dock April-September by prior arrangement with Port Alice Petroleum, call 250-284-3530.

Walking distance from the marina, the Village of Port Alice offers overnight accommodations, RV sites, a golf course, soccer and baseball fields, restaurants, grocery store,  gas station, liquor store, Legion, post office, RCMP and a medical clinic. Stroll the 3-kilometre Sea Walk along the Port Alice coastline, rest at benches and picnic tables along the way, and follow the trail at the end to Walkout Island at low tide. Hike nearby trails at Marble River, Alice Lake/Link River Campground, Spruce Bay Campground, and other trails in town. Drive the Alice Lake Loop to access geological wonders like Devil’s Bath and the Eternal Fountain — part of the vast stretches of limestone and karst formations that make Vancouver Island North prime caving country.
