These Gulf Islands comprise of more than 200 islands, some of which are uninhabited. However, all major islands are easily accessible by ferry, both from Vancouver and Victoria. These islands have all the amenities and luxurious accommodations to meet the needs of both weekenders and those who like to stay for a much longer time.
The geographic terrain of these islands are unique as they are surrounded by mountains filled with rainforests that end abruptly in these waters.
