The Kaien Island Cruise

Come explore the perimeter of Kaien Island, home of the City of Prince Rupert and many square miles of undeveloped rain forest.

On this boat tour you will be taken through Butze Rapids, 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 North Pacific Cannery Museum
  • The pulp mill at Watson Island
  • The Coast Guard Base
  • The Float Plane Base
  • The Coal and Grain Terminals on Ridley Island
  • World War II military Installations
  • Galloway Bridge which joins Kaien Island to the mainland
  • The Prince Rupert waterfront

Wildlifesuch as seals, eagles and other birds, porpoises, and occasionally deer and bear are seen on the beaches. So sit back and enjoy the ride.
