Saturna Island

The island’s landscapes are breathtakingly diverse, featuring rugged shorelines, lush forests, and rolling meadows. East Point, a favorite spot for visitors and locals, offers panoramic views of the Salish Sea and is a prime location for whale watching, particularly for sightings of orcas. Mount Warburton Pike, the island’s highest point, provides stunning vistas and opportunities to observe the wild goats that roam its rocky slopes.

Saturna’s quiet beaches, like Winter Cove and Narvaez Bay, invite exploration and relaxation, while its waters are ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding. Hiking trails wind through protected parks and offer glimpses of abundant wildlife, from seals and sea lions to eagles and deer.

Saturna Island has a close-knit community of artists, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts who embody the island’s laid-back and welcoming spirit. The island’s few shops, cafes, and seasonal farmers’ markets offer locally grown produce, handmade crafts, and artisanal goods, showcasing the island’s self-sufficient ethos.

Deeply connected to its Indigenous heritage, Saturna is part of the traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples. The island honors this legacy through storytelling, partnerships, and the stewardship of its natural landscapes.

With limited development and a peaceful atmosphere, Saturna Island feels like a world apart. It’s a place to unplug, explore, and embrace the simplicity of island living. Whether for a day trip or an extended retreat, Saturna offers a truly unique experience where nature and tranquility take center stage.
