This captivating exploration of Prince Rupert is where the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest meets the vibrant maritime activity of a bustling port. Learn about this coastal city, its rich history, natural wonders, and cultural diversity.
Enjoy a fascinating and informative guided panoramic drive within the city of Prince Rupert. The city's highlights are a reminder of the many peoples and cultures who founded Prince Rupert, from the British gentleman who founded a dairy at Cow Bay to the Chinese gold miner who started Prince Rupert's longest-running grocery store.
You'll stop at a scenic maritime viewpoint and look out over Metlakatla Pass. This is where the Tsimshian Natives made their winter villages with great cedar houses and canoes and thrived in the rich coastal landscape.
Watch for diverse styles of architecture, City Hall, and the waterfront -- the hub of Prince Rupert's industrial history. Visit waterfront Kinsmen Park and the Kwinitsa Railway Station Museum, where you will learn about the building of the Trans-Canada Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
The Museum of Northern BC, known for its important First Nations collection, exhibits the ancient past, art, history and living culture of the Tsimshian people.
