The Super Natural West Coast

Southern Gulf Islands

One of the most popular destinations off the West Coast for Island cruising. These islands are a continuation of the San Juan chain but are located north of the international border.

The islands are less developed than their American counterparts, but every bit as scenic and maybe even more so. There is less marine traffic as well, so the cruiser has the opportunity to enjoy a little more solitude while still enjoying the benefits of being close to several small towns oni9n]= the islands.
