BC’s largest marine park, Broughton Archipelago, is just off shore of Port Hardy. The diversity and the populations of wildlife are evident. The friendly nature of the residents can warm any cool day. If you like land and water and getting outdoors, you are going to love Vancouver Island’s northern expanses.
