Itinerary and highlights

Ride a gondola up 880 meters above sea level to a spectacular view of Howe Sound and the Pacific Northwest coastline.

At 335 meters above sea level, it is the 3rd highest waterfall in BC, ranking behind the 481 metre Della Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island and 396 metre Hunlen Falls in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park near Bella Coola.

Spot the bald eagles during their wintering months (November till January) where they feed, mate, and take care of their young ones.

Be on the look out for the Broom-riding Witch, a natural mural.

Enjoy a thrilling walk over a swaying suspended bridge over a canyon, a tree-top adventure, and then a walk over glass-floored walkway round a cliff.

Learn the life cycle of the salmons. Experience live salmon run, returning home after spending years of their adult life in the ocean.
