Port Hardy is also the gateway for the hardiest of adventurers who come to experience the ultimate backcountry experience on the North Coast Trail and the Cape Scott Trail which carves a path across the entire northern tip of Vancouver Island. Port Hardy is the main departure point for water taxis and land shuttles destined for the North Coast Trail and San Josef Bay in Cape Scott Provincial Park.

Port Hardy is home to BC Ferries’ famous Inside Passage journey which has been rated as one of the most beautiful ferry trips in the world by Travel+Leisure. This 15+ hour sailing departs from nearby Bear Cove and reveals 274 nautical miles of BC’s most scenic coast to passengers. You will sail past historic settlements, remote light houses, prosperous coastal communities and through Grenville Channel where towering mountains and a narrow passage make a
dramatic impact. Summer-only, direct sailings to Bella Coola, on the Central Coast are being introduced in the summer of 2019. On this 10hour voyage, passengers can expect wildlife sightings and stunning scenery. The route travels deep into fjords that cut into the land from the open west coast, past granite cliffs and into the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. Of course, simply hanging out in Port Hardy offers its own delights. Shop for locally produced art, crafts, and seafood (the town is famous for its smoked and candied salmon). Snap pictures of the chainsaw carvings at Carrot Park. Take in stock car and motocross races in the summer. Step back into the past at the Port Hardy Museum and Archives, or check out a variety of places to dine, have a tasty coffee or enjoy an evening in one of our local pubs.
