Possible stops include elegant Poet’s Cove Resort (S. Pender Island), picturesque Genoa Bay (Vancouver Island), the white sand beaches and colorful “pub bus” of Montague Harbor Provincial Park (Galiano Island) and historic Roche Harbor(San Juan Island).

Just north of the San Juan Islands lie the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. This string of unspoiled islands boasts sheltered waters, magnificent marine parks, quiet villages and an abundance of welcoming marinas. Wildlife abounds on the land and in the sea, with deer, bald eagles, seals, sea lions and orca whales commonplace. Our route will include overnights at anchor or moorings often in marine provincial parks, as well as docking in marinas at small villages or resorts.
