Butze Rapids Trail is one of Prince Rupert’s most iconic outdoor experiences, offering an easy-to-moderate interpretive loop through the lush coastal rainforest of Kaien Island. Just a 10-minute drive from downtown, the approximately 5-kilometre trail winds through towering old-growth forest, wetlands, moss-covered bogs, and scenic shoreline before arriving at a viewing platform overlooking the famous Butze Rapids. Here, visitors can witness the remarkable natural phenomenon of reversing tidal rapids, where powerful tidal currents change direction with each tide, creating a spectacular display unlike anywhere else.
