Gulf Islands
SALTSPRING
VANCOUVER
ISLAND
North of the San Juans,
protected in the lee of Vancouver
Island, lie the Gulf Islands. This is an enchanting group of more than 200
islands and islets whose tranquil waterways and gentle landscape
contrast with the ruggedness of the open Pacific Ocean coastline not
many miles to the west.
This has been described as a place where people can be with
people and yet be alone. Its many natural charms are
complemented by convenient man-made facilities making
it a haven for boaters meandering from anchorage to
anchorage. As you find your way among these
islands, you will gain an appreciation of why
so many hail this to be the best cruising in
the world.
Although the cruise from the San Juans
into the Canadian Gulf Islands is an
international crossing, the two island
groups are virtually connected. Clearing
customs is a simple process, making the
transition to this second island group quick
and easy. Between these two vast island
groups, a lifetime of exploration awaits.
