The Inside Passage, through the protected waters of BC’s central and northern coastline, stretches from Port Hardy on the northern tip of Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert in Northern British Columbia. More information on the Inside Passage and the Inside Passage Circle Tour. From Prince Rupert, the beautiful Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) beckon to you before venturing east on the Yellowhead Highway to Prince George, and south through the peaceful Cariboo to Vancouver along the historic Cariboo Wagon Road.
