Rich. Rugged. Resilient. From remarkable coastal shorelines to the vast watery depths of the Pacific, Port Hardy has all the ingredients for the perfect wilderness adventure.
Whether you come to hike the North Coast Trail, paddle along the rocky shores of neighbouring isles and inlets, or catch a salmon of a lifetime, discovering Port Hardy is truly remarkable. West coast inspired accommodations to backwoods camping allow you to step into nature and leave the rest behind.Ripe with opportunities for outdoor adventure, this is a town that offers it all: kayaking, marine activities, First Nations culture in nearby Fort Rupert, numerous west coast artists and phenomenal, abundant wildlife. Black bears are a common sight along the highway as they feast on sweet grass in the summer months. In spring, summer and fall, grizzly bear viewing tours depart by floatplane from Port Hardy to mainland regions of the Great Bear Rainforest. That’s also the extended season for whale-watching outings to Johnstone Strait.
