About Canada

Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, bordering the United States to the south. Not only is Canada blessed with one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world, it brings a diverse culture and a variety of vibrant cities to the table as well. It’s a haven for any kind of traveller; you can spot orcas along the west coast, ski down Whistler Mountain, explore Colonial landmarks or sample some exquisite French cuisine in a buzzing metropolis. With the British Columbian shoreline stretching over 25,000 km and the islands of Graham and Victoria found just off the coast, there are plenty of ferry departure points to choose from. There are numerous routes available too, both international and domestic, all operated by top quality ferry companies.

About Saturna Island

Saturna Island is part of the Southern Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada, located halfway between Vancouver Island and north-western Washington, USA. Home to a mere three hundred and fifty permanent residents, Saturna is the most remote of the Southern Gulf Islands, but spoils outdoor enthusiasts for choice, nonetheless. East Point is widely considered one of the finest places in British Columbia for whale watching, with pods of orcas visible almost daily during the summer. And further inland, the highest mountains of the island chain offer excellent hiking paths through pine forest and along salmon-filled creeks, and kayaking down the meandering rivers makes for a great adventure. Travelling by ferry is the most convenient way of reaching British Columbia’s many islands, with ferries regularly traversing the Strait of Georgia. For Saturna Island, you can sail from Tsawwassen, a suburban community in Delta, BC, to Lyall Harbour on the west coast.
