Port Alice is the gateway to the wild west coast, home to some of the best ocean fishing, kayaking, scuba diving, spelunking and a few natural limestone wonders. Chartered fishing and scuba diving expeditions are the locals expertise. Whether you like to hike, bike or drive there is something for everyone up in North Vancouver Island.
The forest between Port Mcneil and Port Alice holds Canada's only cenote, Devils Bath. It is a rock sink hole that is continually feed by a spring underneath (when I was there its was bubbling) making it even more eerie than its name. After enjoying the view, slip behind the waterfall at the Eternal Fountain, you'll see passages carved from the falls into bright red rock. Follow on to the Vanishing River and Reappearing River, a river that seems to flow into a mountain, only to slip below into ancient Quatsino Karst formations. Giving this area some of the best spelunking adventures in western Canada.
Devils Bath
