PORT HARDY & AREA
Vancouver Island North
Year round adventures!
​
Port Hardy is rugged, rich and resillient. The town sits at the confluence of major water ways and on the brink of expansive forest. Port Hardy has the area's most beautiful local beaches, and is the departure point for Cape Scott and North Coast Trail adventures. Salmon fishing, fresh water angling, hiking, wilderness adventure and a world of authentic experiences exist here for those looking to step off the beaten track.
