About Port Hardy, BC

Port Hardy sits at the top end of Vancouver Island, at the finish of Highway 19, about 500 km from Victoria and 240 km from Campbell River. Port McNeill, 44 km south, is the go-to spot for day-to-day errands, while Port Hardy Airport, just 15 km out, connects folks onward without the long haul back down island. EV charging exists along Highway 19 but gets sparse heading north, so top up before you go. The real draw, though, is that Port Hardy is where the road ends and the BC Ferries Inside Passage route to Prince Rupert begins.
