Embark on an adrenaline-pumping 90-minute Zodiac adventure exploring Great Bear Rainforest, one of the world's largest temperate rainforests, stretching along British Columbia's remote coastline. Walk to the marina, where you'll meet your certified captain and gear up in a survival float suit to stay warm and dry. Then, hold on as your high-speed vessel reaches up to 30 knots (35 mph). Depending on tides and winds, highlights may include Metlakatla Pass (a National Historic Site), Tugwell Island, Fairview Container Terminal, Dodge Cove, Salt Lake, McNichol Creek and more. Towering mountains and coastal scenery set the stage for wildlife encounters, so keep your eyes peeled for possible sightings of humpback whales, orcas, sea otters and bald eagles. Along the way, hear tales of indigenous cultures, early explorers and the region's marine ecosystem. With plenty of opportunities for photos, this adventure is perfect for nature lovers and thrill-seekers. Return to port after this awesome day.
