Also known as Haida Gwaii, Skidegate is a uniquely secluded community that maintains the traditions and values belonging to the region. Just over 700 people permanently reside in the small village, so there is a close-knit community vibe, though visitors are welcomed with open arms to witness the selection of attractions. The Haida Gwaii Museum features interesting displays and insights into the fascinating history of the village – it’s prestige grew to the extent that it prompted Skidegate to be awarded the Haida Heritage Centre. Many choose to only pass through the village on their way to a more prevalent holiday destination, or some choose to visit for just a few hours. There is only one food outlet – Dave’s in the Village – which serves a selection of classic North American cuisine.
A city with a population of just over twelve thousand demonstrates the laid back nature that embodies Prince Rupert. Butze Rapids Park and Trail has surged into prominence with tourists in British Columbia; alluring forestry is engulfed by fresh water, providing endless, wonderful vistas throughout the entirety of the walk. If you arrive at the right time of day, a rainbow can be seen over the rapids, which is worthwhile visiting in itself. It is hard to top witnessing a rainbow over the absorbing rushing sound of ongoing rapids, yet the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary offers a glimpse into wildlife that is rarely seen in the Northern Hemisphere. The guides and owners strive to maintain the beautiful scenery that encompasses the sanctuary, therefore the tour doesn’t venture too far, so the proximity of the bears often varies from day to day. The distance from the habitat doesn’t always lend itself to a completely authentic experience, yet being able to watch and admire the animals is almost a guarantee, and the picturesque environment alone makes the tour worthwhile.
The only form of public transportation is a bus service that has seven lines covering all sections of the city. Alternatively, there are taxis readily available throughout the city for quick and convenience.
