Very cute little airport. It is located on Digby Island. To get to the island you would need to…read moretake a ferry. Only tiny planes would land at PR Airport. There are two departing flights and two arrival flights every day. Basically the same plane goes back and forth between Vancouver and PR. So, I landed at the airport and first thing I did was to grab my checked bags. After grabbing the bags there was a shuttle bus that was waiting for me. Loaded my luggage onto the giant truck/van and then got onto the chartered bus that went onto the ferry and took me to Prince Rupert downtown. My baggage was waiting for me downtown. It was definitely a long journey. Also don't think about swimming from Digby island to Prince Rupert. Its too far to swim..... The ferry ride took about 20 mins. Make sure you ate before coming to the airport. There is no food for purchase at this airport. I flew in from Vancouver and the flight took about 2 hrs plus getting my check bags and getting on the shuttle bus and onto the ferry and to downtown it some how equated to about 3 hours in total. WOW what a trip to get to Prince Rupert Island.

If your next door neighbors -- the nice ones, not the neighbors on the other side -- ran an airport, this is what it would look like. Brick, one story building. One gate. Two flights a day. A vending machine. Very clean. The security lady probably has to restock the vending machine when she's done scanning the passengers.

It's very difficult to get to and from the train station/Ferry Port without a taxi. I was lucky enough to hitch a ride both ways. The owner does do pickups if you call her, but if it's really early in the morning (when the train leaves) good luck. It does not free lockers, which I think should come with the room.

We meet sports teams, families visiting the area and naturally tourists. I am just blown away with this place and the offerings, can you tell?

I rode through the rain into Prince Rupert around 3:00pm, bought a ferry ticket, and started…read morethinking about shelter for the night. The Manager at the ferry terminal recommended a couple hostels, and mentioned that the Pioneer Inn had been recently renovated. After a drive-by of the hostel, it was clear this would be the place to spend the night. The hostel has a clean, welcoming look from the outside, especially when contrasted with the gloomy, rainy, and cold September weather. Things got better once inside; there was a comfortable living room, and most importantly for me, a professional kitchen available to guests. I checked in and opted for the shared dormitory option on the top (3rd) floor. The rate was fair (~$30 all inclusive), and the room was cozy and well appointed. There was no bathroom in the room, but there was a recently renovated one a few doors down on the same floor. The hostel is located off of the main street in Prince Rupert, and is very close to groceries and restaurants (Safeway and Cow Bay). Right behing the building there is a community garden worth looking at, where one could easily read or relax (weather permitting). The people working there were mostly helpful, some very nice, and others business-only. Overall, the Pioneer Backpackers Inn is a great find, and worth staying at if one visits Prince Rupert.

Instead of a flight, and trying to pack everything into one or two bags, you can take your whole car stuffed full and your pup. Hello Costco run! I loved my first overnight and drive on experience. Spending 18-20 hours not driving was excellent for starting vacation and for ending it. We had a room, got to visit our pup every couple hours, and even had some gluten free food options from the cafe. Overall, something I'd do again and absolutely will recommend to others.

Nice little cabins in a beautiful location. Kitchens are fully stocked with plates, equipment and…read moreglassware. Large refrigerator. Several beds and a washer and dryer. Sitting on the aged house decks and soaking up the view is the attraction here. But there are some caveats. The worst is the train. Diesel trains come through at all different hours of the day and night. The tracks are so close to the cabins that it's a real atmosphere spoiler. They make talking difficult and shake the rooms. Next is the Wi-Fi, it is pretty bad. It's got a short reach so you can disconnect in the rooms easily. There is no cell service. For some that's an advantage, for others it's not. We were also asked to put our phones on airplane mode if we didn't need to access the Wi-Fi because it uses up their satellite data. Not really my problem. And lastly, the taps are connected to a creek and the water is discoloured. They provide bottled water, however. If these points don't bother you, you should be pretty happy. It's a unique location.
