Alert Bay - Cormorant Island

A ride mapped and described by Let's Go Biking

13 cycling stops along this route · Vancouver Island

8 km · Afternoon

A ferry-hop from Port McNeill lands you on Cormorant Island, where Alert Bay's quiet waterfront streets make a 1 to 8 km ride past historic buildings and some of the coast's most significant totem poles, among them one of the world's tallest. The 'Namgis community's U'mista Cultural Centre anchors any visit. Small distances, big presence.
