Prince Rupert Guide

Prince Rupert Ferry Port

Prince Rupert is a city found on the west coast of Canada, laying in the province of British Columbia. The ferry routes departing the port head to coastal resorts residing on islands neighbouring Canada’s west coast, ranging from seven hours to 16 hours.

What is there to do in Prince Rupert?

A city with a population of just over twelve thousand demonstrates the laid back nature that embodies Prince Rupert. Butze Rapids Park and Trail has surged into prominence with tourists in British Columbia; alluring forestry is engulfed by fresh water, providing endless, wonderful vistas throughout the entirety of the walk. If you arrive at the right time of day, a rainbow can be seen over the rapids, which is worthwhile visiting in itself. It is hard to top witnessing a rainbow over the absorbing rushing sound of ongoing rapids, yet the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary offers a glimpse into wildlife that is rarely seen in the Northern Hemisphere. The guides and owners strive to maintain the beautiful scenery that encompasses the sanctuary, therefore the tour doesn’t venture too far, so the proximity of the bears often varies from day to day. The distance from the habitat doesn’t always lend itself to a completely authentic experience, yet being able to watch and admire the animals is almost a guarantee, and the picturesque environment alone makes the tour worthwhile.

How do you get around Prince Rupert?

The only form of public transportation is a bus service that has seven lines covering all sections of the city. Alternatively, there are taxis readily available throughout the city for quick and convenience.


Port Hardy Guide

Port Hardy Ferry Port

Port Hardy is situated on the north-eastern end of Vancouver Island, laying to the south west of Canada. The port connects passengers to other islands neighbouring Canada such as Bella Bella and Klemtu, as well as the Canadian mainland itself with the sailing to Prince Rupert.

What is there to do in Port Hardy?

Glorious mountainside next to the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean – Port Hardy is a haven for anyone who thrives in the great outdoors. A host of walking trails surrounded by refreshing forestry decorate most of the landscape, and in the winter months snow covers the surface, prompting ardent skiers and snowboarders to test their skills against the challenging terrain. If land adventure doesn’t sound enticing, kayaking and canoeing are available for those who are adept on the waters, whilst many choose to grab their surfboard and conquer the waves by the beach. The district may be ideal for adventure, though the peaceful atmosphere and picturesque scenery also lends itself to a relaxing few days away from the stresses of the modern world. Fishing is a popular pastime with the locals, especially when it’s possible to spot the wildlife that inhabits much of the rural areas. After witnessing much of the spectacular hillside that dominates the skyline, it may be a pleasant change of pace to explore the cultural history belonging to Port Hardy; Quatse Salmon Stewardship Centre and the Port Hardy Museum offer an insight into the traditional values embedded into the region.

How do you get around Port Hardy?
