Rendezvous Island South Provincial Park totals approximately 164 hectares, including 113 hectares of upland and 51 hectares of foreshore. This rocky outpost is densely forested with a mostly steep, rocky shoreline. A fair calm-weather anchorage for one or two boats is located in a small nook behind an islet off the southwest shoreline, offering a convenient holding point for mariners waiting to transit Whiterock Passage, Hole in the Wall, or Yuculta Pass. The park has no developed facilities, but no-trace wilderness camping is permitted.
Read Island Provincial Park is located on the southern tip of Read Island, immediately west of the Rendezvous Islands.

The remote and pristine Bute Inlet is considered one of the grandest fjords in the world carved deep into the Coast Mountains. The wilderness and mist-shrouded inlet boasts magnificent abundant wildlife and coastal scenery surrounded by the rugged coastal mountains that heave out of the emerald waters and rise to heights of nearly 10,000 feet, capped by the Homathko Icefield and numerous other glaciers in the surrounding mountain ranges.

Located between Stuart Island and the BC Mainland at the entrance to Bute Inlet are very strong whirlpools called the Arran Rapids, just to the west the Yuculta Rapids. These spectacular rapids are generated by powerful tidal currents that race through the narrow channels like rapids in a river, flooding and ebbing at up to 10 to 15 knots. Natives are recorded as having assisted Captain George Vancouver's men by using ropes from the shore to pull their longboats through the Arran Rapids.
Sightseeing in the area includes the rapids, Toba Glacier and the picturesque Cassells Falls that cascade from Cassells Lake. Wildlife abounds in in this west coast paradise. Black bears, grizzly bears and black-tail deer are found on land. Bald eagles and ospreys grace the skies. Birdlife includes cormorants and many species of duck and waterfowl.
