A Heart for Community
Connect with the heart and soul of a vibrant community. Whether you're meeting friendly locals, encountering heirloom cultures, engaging with Native peoples, exploring hidden corners, or discovering beloved eateries, let lasting memories begin with warmth, hospitality, and genuine connection.
Embark on a scenic panoramic drive from Prince Rupert into the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. You'll follow the winding Skeena River through a landscape of towering mountains, ancient forest, and glacial waterways. A photo stop showcases the dramatic scale and natural beauty of this remote region.
Continue to Exchamsiks Provincial Park, where your experience deepens with a meaningful introduction to the culture and traditions of the Kitsumkalum people of the Tsimshian Nation. La bala sgan — "the cedar mat is laid out" in a gesture of peace and hospitality that welcomes you to this space.
Take part in a guided walk through the forest. Along the trail, enjoy a series of thoughtfully curated tasting stations featuring Indigenous-inspired culinary items, each offering a connection to the land and its natural ingredients. The experience is brought to life through storytelling, traditional dance and drumming, enveloping you in vibrant Kitsumkalum heritage.
Relax and enjoy a picnic-style lunch in a tranquil setting, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the coastal rainforest. Take time to connect with community members and browse among a selection of locally handcrafted items available for purchase.
Return to Prince Rupert via the scenic Yellowhead Highway, learning about the way of life along British Columbia's North Coast.
