The Alert Bay Lodge was charming, comfortable and hospitable. Very unique setting, with a warm welcome from the hosts. Good location, easy walk into "town". The community is great, lots to see and do. Fascinating history. Marvelous must-see: the U'mista Cultural Centre. Whales, dolphins and otters passing by the front of the Lodge every day!
This Port McNeill accommodation is situated on 26 acres and features a Disc Golfing Course. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are provided. Lower Nimpkish River Provincial Park is 15 km away.

Very quite setting with ocean views. Small deck and cozy gas fireplace gave this cottage a warm and appealing vibe. The shower was amazing!
Situated in Port McNeill, 44 km from Port Hardy Ferry Terminal, Humpback Inn features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The motel has family rooms.
A quiet, laid back atmosphere. Not much to do with limited options for eating or getting a coffee especially Sundays and Mondays. Enjoyed visit but a couple of days was enough. Food at Nimpkish Hotel was good and people were very friendly

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.
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 :)
We loved our stay at the Alert Bay Lodge. It is very quaint and we loved that it was so different from the usual generic accommodation. Natasha and Ian, the hosts, are so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great and we had dinner one night which was also really good. We just felt so ‘at home’ and were sorry leave.
The hotel is a great location and very cute.
Important note - there aren’t many restaurants on the island and the few restaurants there aren’t often open. This hotel is the only hotel with breakfast included AND offers a dinner service.
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.
