Took a return trip from Port Alberni down to Bamfield with some out-of-country visitors. Nice smooth trip really shows the west-est of the west coast. Good boat, basic food on-board, super friendly crew.

We went on the trip from Port Alberni to Bamfield via remote communities to drop off suplies. The scenery was spectacular and so was the wildlife viewing. (4 humpback whales, Black bears on the shoreline, numerous sea lions and Bald eagles). The boat stopped at Bamfield for an hour and a half which was time enough to sample the delights of this historic and beautiful little community. The Captain provided relevant local information en route which enhances the trip. The boat provides basic food and a bar for refreshments throughout the day trip. We were lucky as well with the weather providing a brilliant relaxing adventure.

Wonderful trip down inlet to Bamfield and back. Crew are fantastic and meals delicious.

A group of friends spent a stellar day aboard the Frances Barkley yesterday. From the moment I reserved our spots, to the time we disembarked, the staff and crew treated us exceptionally well.

The scenery was breathtaking and the captain pointed out places of special interest as we passed, as well as taking us closer to wildlife in order to get better photos. We were treated to viewing several sea lions basking in the sun and enjoyed listening to them bark.

We had delicious and reasonably priced breakfasts and lunches on board. It was fun watching freight getting unloaded onto a homemade barge — reminding us the Frances Barkley provides a valuable service to the people of the Port Alberni inlet. We also enjoyed an hour walk around Bamfield before our return to Port Alberni.

All in all, a fabulous day! Thanks to everyone at the Lady Rose Marine Services!

We recently went on the Lady Rose and it was a great experience. The staff that run the boat are very courteous and friendly.

If you don't want to pack a lunch, the galley below serves great food for a decent price. Breakfast was awesome. Bring cash though for food as that's all they accept.

Depending on the amount of freight they need to drop, you can stay in Bamfield for 1-2 hours. The boardwalk is nice, but I wished I had time to go see Brady Beach. The general store has pretty much everything you want and they do accept debit

Overall, an awesome trip for a very fair price.
