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.
