Columbia River interpretive jet boat tour

On your next visit to Golden, British Columbia, take an exciting and informative jet boat tour on the Columbia River. Balance is the key on this jet boat tour with the power of the jet boat to thrill you and the history, scenery and wildlife to amaze you. The mighty Columbia River, a BC Heritage River designate, is bound to British Columbia's history and identity. The Columbia remains one of the most important watersheds in North America. Throughout North America, wetlands and river ecosystems are disappearing at an alarming rate. Fortunately, here in the Columbia Valley many local interest groups labour tirelessly to protect the Columbia River Basin and the wetlands. These wetlands remain a shining example of a fast disappearing and crucial ecological habitat. The wetlands from Windermere Lake to Donald are home to 180 bird species and 37 species of mammals ranging from tiny shrews to bald eagles, grizzly bears and mountain lions. On the tour you are likely to spot bald eagles and many other birds along the river bank. In spring and fall black bears may also be seen along the Columbia.
