CAPE SCOTT NORTH COAST TRAIL SHUTTLE

Direct Service Between Port Hardy & the North Coast Trail.

The North Coast Trail Shuttle is a service taking hikers to or from the trail head of the new North Coast Trail and the existing Cape Scott Trail. It departs Port Hardy at 10 am daily and leaves the trail head for the return trip to Port Hardy at 2 pm. Hikers must pre-book.

Leave your car in Port Hardy and let us take you up the rugged 67 kilometers of logging road to Cape Scott Provincial Park near Holberg for the start of the Cape Scott North Coast Trail.
Day trips to San Josef Bay are available for up to 10 passengers. We can service any of the trails on the north island.

To complete the trail you can take a water taxi from Shushartie Bay to Port Hardy. We can help you arrange the round trip with shuttle at one end and water taxi at the other. Unlike the West Coast Trail, there are no reservations necessary to hike the North Coast Trail , but it is necessary to book both the shuttle and water taxi. As cell service is not available on the route you may want ot consider a Sat phone or VHF marine radio for emergencies.

There are many great spots to visit and experience on the North Island. Visit the Port Hardy Chamber of Commerce or Port McNeill Chamber of Commerce website to check them out or contact us for info and advice.
