Tsimshian Peninsula Tour – Excursion 902
You‘ll get an eye-full on this number-one seller, with 30 minutes of actual
airtime as you take in the spectacular features of the Coast Range Mountains, North America‘s youngest
mountain range. You will fly over the traditional lands of the Tsimshian First Nation and witness dense
coastal rainforest and extensive muskeg flats that form the Tsimshian Peninsula. Then it‘s on to Work
Channel to experience the sheer granite walls of this magnificent fjord. Its cold, rich waters attract
feeding Orca and Humpback whales that we can often spot from the air. Then its up and over to Quatoon
Inlet to see the remarkable waterfall that feeds the inlet and experience the breathtaking scenery
carved out by the glaciers. From here, its south to follow the Skeena River to its mouth at the sea,
and then back along island-lined Inverness Passage dotted with abandoned settlements of
‘old cannery row‘. We follow the coastline back to Kaien Island and wrap-up with a fly-over of
Prince Rupert’s waterfront before returning to our base at Seal Cove.
