Two of the most common questions I receive from prospective
guests are “Where are you out of?” and “how
do I get to the Tugboat?”
Westwind’s daily mobility and seasonal relocations add
to the questions of where do the Tugboats operate and how
to get there. We have chosen three separate regions in the
remote northern British Columbia coast, each for their abundance
of salmon runs, spectacular scenery, natural wildlife and
seclusion.
To ease your travel plans, Westwind in association with British
Columbia’s two largest regional airlines, Pacific Coastal
Airlines and Hawkair Aviation services, has reserved your
space on very comfortable 33-38 passenger aircraft for flights
from Vancouver B.C. to the land based airport in the region
you chose. A five-minute shuttle follows the flight to the
vessel at dockside where Westwind’s crew is waiting
to greet you. Guests need only make arrangements to get to
Vancouver B.C. which can be easily accessed from anywhere
in North America.

Westwind
has also made arrangements with Vancouver Airport area hotels
that offer you a special Tugboat rate while also shuttling
you to and from your connecting flights, storing your frozen
and professionally packaged catch and offering you free vehicle
parking while gone on your tugboat adventure.
Some guests are combining a Tugboat Adventure with an extended
motor vacation. There are a few locations you can join us
from. If you are doing a tour of Vancouver Island in August/September
you could fly out of Port Hardy on the north end and join
us 100 miles north in the Bella Bella region or catch a ferry
from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert in early July and join us
fishing and cruising on the waters of this majestic BC/Alaska
border region before carrying on to the Alaska highway and
the rest of your adventure. Of course you could drive to Prince
Rupert from Calgary or Vancouver, a spectacular scenic drive,
there is facilities to park your vehicle in Prince Rupert
while on your Westwind Tugboat Adventure. There is also ample,
secure parking at the Vancouver Airport if you choose to join
us on the reserved flights from Vancouver.
Whether you arrive in Vancouver via the International airport,
the highways of North America or even by a Rocky Mountaineer
Rail Tour from Calgary Alberta, Westwind Tugboat Adventures
provides a company representative based in Vancouver who will
greet and assist you both connecting to and returning from
your Tugboat Adventure. Westwind’s representative is
there to ensure a trouble free vacation while in B.C. and
can assist you with entertainment ideas, restaurants and important
points of interest to visit while in the Vancouver and Victoria
areas.
Call today and let Westwind take the worry out of your travel
plans so you can enjoy the trip of a lifetime on North America’s
Original Tugboat Adventure.
