About Canada

Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, bordering the United States to the south. Not only is Canada blessed with one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world, it brings a diverse culture and a variety of vibrant cities to the table as well. It’s a haven for any kind of traveller; you can spot orcas along the west coast, ski down Whistler Mountain, explore Colonial landmarks or sample some exquisite French cuisine in a buzzing metropolis. With the British Columbian shoreline stretching over 25,000 km and the islands of Graham and Victoria found just off the coast, there are plenty of ferry departure points to choose from. There are numerous routes available too, both international and domestic, all operated by top quality ferry companies.

About Galiano Island

Galiano is part of the Southern Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada, located just off Vancouver Island’s southeast coast. ‘The gem of the Gulf Islands’ is also the wildest of the archipelago, home to some of the most diverse wildlife in the region. It lies within a busy migratory path for birds, with bald eagles, herons and cormorants commonly seen amongst the hundreds of other species. Keep a keen eye out for black tail deer roaming the ancient forests and pods of orcas carving through the waters, too. Mount Galiano is the island’s highest point, providing incredible hiking trails and breathtaking views, but more relaxing walks can be enjoyed along the shell beach or through the Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park, the most popular in the Gulf Islands. From the mainland, Galiano Island is under and hour away by ferry, with regular sailings available from the Greater Vancouver suburb of Tsawwassen to Sturdies Bay on the island’s southern tip.
