Port McNeill, the Gateway Community to the Broughton Archipelago, is the heart of Tree Country, where trees are planted, thinned, fertilized, protected from disease, and harvested in a cycle that provides the economic base for the entire region. Dense forest, tranquil lakes, exquisite views of Broughton Strait, and plenty of wildlife make this a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Drive, fly, boat, or bus to Port McNeill and stay in a resort, hotel, bed and breakfast, or campground. Friendly Port McNeill is a great base for exploring the North Island. Outdoor activities include fresh and saltwater fishing, whale and wildlife watching excursions, cultural tours, air charters, boat charters, hiking, scuba diving, kayaking, and windsurfing.
