THE ISLAND TOUR...
Come explore the perimeter of Kaien Island, which houses the City of Prince Rupert and the many square miles of undeveloped Rain Forest. This tour takes you through Butze Rapids, which are well known for being "reversing tidal rapids". You will also venture through Zanardi Rapids, which involves negotiating a low hanging railway bridge. The village of Port Edward and its various water-based industries will be viewed at the halfway point of the tour. Other points of interest include:
The Cannery Museum, The pulp mill atWatson Island, The Coast Guard Base, The Float Plane Base, The Coal and Grain Terminals on Ridley Island, WW2 Military Installations and Galloway Bridge which joins Kaien Island to the Main Land, and the Prince Rupert waterfront. Wildlife such as seals, eagles and other birds, porpoises, and occasionally deer and bear are seen on the beaches. So sit back and enjoy the ride.
