Saturna Island attractions
Gulf Islands National Park Reserve offers incredible opportunities for boating, kayaking, hiking, wildlife viewing and picnicking. At Winter Cove an easy 1.5 km loop trail (25 minutes) takes you to the turbulent waters of Boat Pass, with views of the Strait of Georgia. After your walk, spread out your lunch on one of the many picnic tables, explore the pebble beach, or play a game of frisbee. At Lyall Creek, take a self-guided walk through 2km (1 way, 40 minutes) of lush temperate rainforest, or catch a Parks Canada Interpretive Program to learn more about efforts to restore one of the last salmon-bearing creeks in the Southern Gulf Islands. From the Narvaez Bay parking lot, take the trail up to the Monarch Head viewpoint. This strenous 2.5 km loop trail (1.5 hours) follows old logging roads, and features spectacular views of Boundary Pass. At East Point, keep your eyes peeled for seals and sea lions on Boiling Reef, and for porpoises and orca whales feeding in the nutrient-rich current of Boundary Pass. Learn about Saturna Island history at the Foghorn Alarm Building (FAB) , which is run by Saturna Heritage Committee volunteers in the summer months. And check out a special sunset Interpretive Program, led by one of the National Park Reserve's knowledgable interpreters.
