Port Hardy Guide

What is there to do in Port Hardy?

Glorious mountainside next to the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean – Port Hardy is a haven for anyone who thrives in the great outdoors. A host of walking trails surrounded by refreshing forestry decorate most of the landscape, and in the winter months snow covers the surface, prompting ardent skiers and snowboarders to test their skills against the challenging terrain. If land adventure doesn’t sound enticing, kayaking and canoeing are available for those who are adept on the waters, whilst many choose to grab their surfboard and conquer the waves by the beach. The district may be ideal for adventure, though the peaceful atmosphere and picturesque scenery also lends itself to a relaxing few days away from the stresses of the modern world. Fishing is a popular pastime with the locals, especially when it’s possible to spot the wildlife that inhabits much of the rural areas. After witnessing much of the spectacular hillside that dominates the skyline, it may be a pleasant change of pace to explore the cultural history belonging to Port Hardy; Quatse Salmon Stewardship Centre and the Port Hardy Museum offer an insight into the traditional values embedded into the region.
