Entire expert explores Canada’s wild northwest

5 June 2024

Entire Travel Group's Canada and Alaska expert Sam Treby has explored just about every corner of the Great White North, but even she was surprised by the quality of visitor experiences offered by Northern British Columbia when she explored the region recently as a guest of Destination BC.

Treby joined a group of Canada experts on a week-long journey around Northern BC immediately following this year's Rendez-vous Canada in Edmonton.

The group started in Terrace, a small city in west central BC that serves as a gateway to the region's Indigenous communities, including the Nisga'a, Haisla, Tahltan and Gitxsan peoples.

"As well as immersing ourselves in authentic First Nations experiences, we traversed the spectacular Nass Valley, navigated the Skeena River on a Northern BC Jet Boat Tour, and received a guided tour of the Kitselas Canyon National Historic Site," says Treby.

From Terrace, the group headed for Prince Rupert on the scenic VIA Rail Skeena train, which follows the Skeena River to the Pacific coast.

"We spent two days exploring the region, with the highlight being a day cruise into Khutzeymateen Valley, where we observed grizzly bears in their natural habitat, as well sea lions, eagles and whales.

“Overall, the trip offered a comprehensive look at the diverse cultural heritage of Northwest Indigenous communities and the natural beauty of the region. This area of Canada is a hidden gem that would appeal to those seeking unique travel experiences, whether by rail, road, or sea.”
