Places to stay in Prince Rupert, British Columbia
Although Prince Rupert is famous as the "Fishing Capital of Canada's Northwest Coast" for its prime location on the Hecate Strait of the Pacific Ocean, one trip to this coastal city will convince all but the most avid anglers that there is much more to Prince Rupert than just fishing. Na Xbiisa Lagigyet, the museum of Northern British Columbia, with its spectacular view of the Prince Rupert Harbour, attracts visitors from all over who come to see artifacts reminiscent of an ancient way of life displayed alongside the contemporary art of local First Nations people. Wildlife and nature viewing tours are another great way to see parts of the Prince Rupert area that are not readily accessible by car. Flightseeing tours will give you the bird's eye view of the city and surrounding islands, while chartered boat tours offer spectacular opportunities to view humpback, orca, and grey whales, as well as resident seals, eagles, and porpoises. Special bear watching excursions might also take you to K'tzim-a-Diin's first grizzly bear sanctuary, established in 1984 to preserve the dwindling number of grizzlies in the park.
