Local Attractions

This is Canada like you've never experienced before - a place where eagles, bears and whales far outnumber people. A relaxing corner of the world where being friendly and out-going is just the natural way to be.

The northern BC coast is a pristine wilderness with rich and productive fishing grounds and spectacular scenery. Remote sandy beaches, abandoned canneries and villages, fishing, golfing, whale watching and city tours are just some of the attractions we have in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.

WILDLIFE VIEWING & WHALE WATCHING

Given the vast wilderness and our distance from any major population centres it is no wonder that the north coast has some of the best bear and whale watching in North America. In fact, the north coast is home to Canada's only Grizzly bear sanctuary.
