Prince Rupert help, please

[hybrn8]

Will be in Prince Rupert on Celebrity Infinity this year and they offer two trips which have some appeal: grizzly bear watch and lighthouse/wildlife/whale watch. The former is $199/person and the latter is $123/person. Since there will be four of us, we'd rather make our own arrangments - can anyone point me towards tour operators who specialize in independent travellers needs? Since we live in an area full of black bears (one of them was in our house a couple summers ago eating breakfast cereal and expensive chocolates), the bear trip is the less interesting option. Many thanks!

Depending upon the time of year you will be in Prince Rupert, there is excellent grizzly bear viewing (aka brown bears in the US). Very different from black bears! Here is a link to one of the very few authorized tour operators.
