Prince Rupert Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Prince Rupert!
Considered Canada's gateway to Alaska and the Queen Charlotte Islands, Prince Rupert is located on the hauntingly beautiful coastline of Northern B.C., approximately a seven hour drive west of Prince George. Prince Rupert is a transportation hub, offering access to Port Hardy and the Alaska Marine Highway via boat, and all places in Mainland B.C. via railway and highway. The Totem poles of the Haida and Tsimpsean Aboriginal tribes are scattered throughout this picturesque city, especially in Totem Park, which also offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Over 10,000 years of Aboriginal history can be explored at the Museum of Northern BC, located in the historic Chatham Village Longhouse. Marine enthusiasts have the chance at once-in-a-lifetime encounters with killer whales, while anglers can track that elusive catch on one of many fishing excursions. Landlubbers can explore the lush, coastal rainforest that surrounds Prince Rupert at one of several parks, including Prudhomme Lake and Diana Lake Provincial Parks.
