Excursion

Skeena Rail Journey

The Skeena train winds its way over two days through some remarkable scenery between Prince Rupert on the west coast to Jasper in the Rocky Mountains, broken up by an overnight stop in Prince George. The section between Prince Rupert and Prince George passes along the beautiful Skeena River valley, up in to the rugged expanse of interior British Columbia. From Prince George the train makes its way in to the foothills of the Rockies, winding through the Yellowhead Pass on the border of British Columbia and Alberta, and on to Jasper. Whichever direction you choose to journey in expect diverse and beautiful landscapes studded with lakes, forest clad hills, braided river valleys and tiny settlements. Economy class offers comfortable seating in a regular carriage with large picture windows; light meals and snacks can be purchased at the on-board café/bar. Whilst this is the ‘budget’ option it is also the class in which many locals travel so this can often be a good way to get talking to some of the people who live in these more remote parts of the province. Touring class, which is only available on certain departures in the summer months, offers seating with extra-large panoramic windows, access to the Park dome car with its glass ceiling and a complimentary selection of hot and cold meals. Combined with the Inside Passage ferry the Skeena is a brilliant way to travel around this middle section of British Columbia without having the drive the enormous distances.

Prince Rupert - ideas for free time

Compared to many towns and cities of Canada, Prince Rupert is pocket-sized and many of the attractions here (other than the landscape!) are of a similar stature. However, being a manageable size means that if you have a day to explore you can fit quite a lot in. Cow Bay is a pretty waterfront area with some lovely boutique shops and cafes, whilst a small interpretive centre at the nearby Altin Cruise Ship Terminal tells the story of the Port of Prince Rupert and what the future holds for North America’s fastest growing shipping terminal. There are several museums in the town and locations nearby which are worth visiting to gain an insight in to life in this remote part of the island. The Museum of Northern British Columbia is situated in a beautiful Northwest Coast Longhouse and showcases the long history of civilisation in this area alongside exceptional collections of aboriginal Haida, Gitksan and Tsimshian art. 20 kilometres south of the town the North Pacific Historic Fishing Museum explores the history of fishing and canning along the Skeena River, and the nearby North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site is the oldest and mostly completely preserved cannery out of the dozens than once lined the British Columbia coast.

Excursion

Khutzeymateen Bear Watching Adventure

Khutzeymateen Provincial Park is a large grizzly bear sanctuary nestled in the vast wilderness of coastal British Columbia, and indeed the area has one of the highest concentrations of grizzly bears in North America. To access the park from Prince Rupert you take a spectacularly scenic boat transfer through Chatham Sound then inland along rugged fjords before reaching the edge of the park. Here you continue to explore by boat, watching for bears feeding in the estuaries and inlets and learning about this diverse coastal environment. Along the way you will also look for porpoises, seals, sea lions and a range of birdlife as well as hear stories of the historic native villages which dot these remote shores. This is a truly memorable adventure – be sure to bring your binoculars and camera! Note: this excursion operates from mid-May to mid-July only.
