Shearwater and New Bella Bella

June 10-13

Owned by the Heiltsuk Nation, Shearwater Resort is an Indigenous wilderness resort in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest.

Shearwater Park

This beautiful park is dedicated to Shearwater and New Bella Bella residents’ that serve in WW I, WW II, and the Korean wars.

New Bella Bella

While Rick was working on the boat, I took the Sea-Bus taxi to check-out New Bella Bella. The Heiltsuk Cultural Centre, which showcases their art and historical artifacts, was closed. I did shop at the Band Store (grocery store) and they told me the next closest grocery store was in Prince Rupert and that the fastest way to get from Bella Bella to Prince Rupert is by ferry, which takes eleven hours and twenty-three minutes. Students from Shearwaters take the Sea-Bus to the school in New Bella Bella.
