Stay

Just because you came to the North Coast in search of an epic adventure doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. Prince Rupert has a surprisingly diverse array of accommodation to choose from, with a number of stylish hotels within the downtown core offering all the amenities you’ll need for your trip. Strewn along the waterfront and throughout the downtown core, you’ll find hotels with comfortable, stylish rooms at affordable rates, many with sweeping views over the harbour and lovely on-site restaurants and cafes.

If you’re looking to keep things low-key while visiting Prince Rupert, try pitching a tent or renting a rustic cabin for your stay. Just outside of town at Prudhomme Lake, you’ll find a well-maintained provincial campground situated on the shores of a misty, mountainside lake. Wake up to the serene sounds of water lapping at the shore and the croons of lake birds. For a closer option, try a local campground within striking distance of the BC Ferries terminal.

For a rustic experience without the tarps and tent poles, Prince Rupert is home to some of BC’s most incredible wilderness retreats. The North Pacific Cannery rents out their bunkhouse to visitors. An experience like no other on the misty shores of a long inlet, when you stay at the North Pacific Cannery, you’ll wake up in the middle of a national historic site. For a truly remote experience, check out floating lodge inside the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, a protected area where you can safely view our majestic neighbours in their natural habitat. For the fishing enthusiasts, floating fishing lodges host multi-night fishing excursions with luxury overnight accommodations.
