Overview

Most of us won’t ever have the opportunity to spend a year exploring North America’s west coast like Hig Higman and Erin McKittrick have done, yet we still yearn for adventure. With limited time, we want to get right to the good parts. Erin and Hig help us by describing the four regions they enjoyed most in their 3000+ miles of trekking. Each region has its own character; one is sure to capture your imagination and excite you into vacation planning mode.

Hig and Erin recommend these four regions beginning in the south and moving north. Each “How” section describes how to position yourself for an immersion wilderness experience, but if you prefer shorter excursions, hop a cruise ship to any of the three southernmost regions.

Princess Royal Island

PODCAST: Journey on the Wild Coast – Vacation Spots for the Adventurous - 1
Princess Royal Island.
Princess Royal Island is a magical place with white Spirit bears, tumbling water falls, verdant rain forest and crystal clear alpine lakes.

Princess Royal Island: for those who are attracted to mystery and magic. This locale is ideal for the adventurous honeymoon couple.

Why: Stepped granite terrain rises from rain forest to alpine regions where deep, crystal clear alpine lakes beg for a dip. Gorgeous waterfalls catch your eyes as they cascade down granite cliffs. Once you leave the shore area and enter the rain forest, you are not likely to encounter humans, but you may be lucky enough to see the white Kermode (Spirit) bears that are found only in this region.

Where: Along the remote north coast of British Columbia, 300 miles north of Vancouver, 100 miles south of Prince Rupert and just north of Klemtu, in the Great Bear Rainforest.

How: From Vancouver, fly to Prince Rupert and catch a ferry (BC Ferries) to the village of Klemtu. Once there, hire a boat or paddle the twelve miles to Princess Royal Island.

When: Hig and Erin found Princess Royal Island to be a paradise in August, but recommend visiting in September since you are more likely to see the Spirit bears when the salmon are running.

Note: The bear guides in Klemtu are very knowledgeable.
