Spring on the North-West Coast
Enjoy an early spring break – with a trip to the North!
That may seem like a paradox, but the weather in Prince Rupert is often warmer than in the mountains or northern regions of Canada.
Being situated close to the coast means Prince Rupert enjoys a moderate climate in comparison to the neighbouring communities to the East, and lucky for us our coastal location usually provides an early spring.

For nature lovers, campers, and hikers, the temperate weather and abundance of hikes and trails provide many opportunities for hikers of all abilities.

Kayaking and Bird Watching on the Coast
For those who love spending time out on the water, kayaking in Prince Rupert offers numerous protected inlets and bays just waiting for discovery.
March is the beginning of the Oolichan run up the Skeena River. This is a destination every animal lover and ardent bird watcher should have on their bucket list.
