Southern Gulf Islands, BC

When flying in by harbour plane over the islands or sailing between them, the Southern Gulf Islands look like something out of a tropical romance film. Dozens of green peaks in the deep blue coastal waters are very enticing. As a collective, this fare weather grouping of islands is popular among visitors and other local day trippers from surrounding islands as a destination for secluded getaways, forest and wilderness exploration, and sources of organic delights and wonderful artisans. Mayne, Pender (N&S), Salt Spring and Galinano are the most distinct and populated islands. Time spent here should encompass planning overnight stays and timely ferry rides to "Island Hop"!
