Cruise guests can come face to face with these animals and see tropical plants like soursop and banana trees on a guided rainforest walk. They can also hike up Mount Liamuiga, the dormant volcano that is the island’s highest mountain and offers views of the rainforest below. Prince Rupert, Canada The Butze Rapids trailhead, just a 10-minute drive from the Prince Rupert Cruise Port in British Columbia, Canada, rewards walkers with views of the Pacific Northwest along with strategic stops and informative signage. Visitors can explore the unique Great Bear Rainforest ecosystem, brimming with rich flora, fauna and Indigenous heritage.
