Here's an awe-inspiring train ride from Prince Rupert to Terrace, British Columbia. With comfortable seating, panoramic windows, and on-board amenities, it's a comfortable and enjoyable journey.
Step aboard VIA Rail and follow the legendary Skeena River past towering coastal mountains, dense rainforest, and dramatic river valleys. Along the way, take in views of cascading waterfalls, historic railway trestles, and remote wilderness landscapes, and watch for local wildlife.
Continue by motorcoach into the surrounding wilderness. Visit Exchamsiks Provincial Park, where glacial waters and old-growth forest create a peaceful natural setting. A short guided walk along forested trails offers fresh mountain air and a closer look at the region's ecosystem.
Sit down to a relaxed lunch at Kasiks Wilderness Resort — a remote coastal retreat. Browse among a small selection of locally inspired items available for purchase, offering a glimpse into the region's culture and craftsmanship.
The return to Prince Rupert follows the scenic Yellowhead Highway, widely considered one of Canada's most beautiful drives, with an engaging commentary that brings the landscape and local history to life.
