About Swindle Island

Swindle Island lies just off the North Coast region of British Columbia in Canada, located on the Inside Passage shipping route. A peaceful island with densely forested hills, Swindle is also home to a small community of the Kitasoo tribe in Klemtu on the east coast, a subgroup of the Heiltsuk who are the indigenous people of British Columbia. The village itself is renowned in Canadian folklore for the alleged sighting of Sasquatch in 1968 on a nearby beach, too. Like most islands on the western coast of Canada, Swindle is a top destination for kayaking and canoeing, where you can paddle through the stunning fjords all the way to Alaska. From the ferry terminal in Klemtu, there are routes provided to a few islands along the British Columbian coast, operated by one of the state’s leading ferry companies.

About Campbell Island

Campbell Island lies close to Milbanke Sound, within the Canadian province of British Columbia on the west coast. Pine-clad and peaceful, Campbell Island has a handful of sleepy coastal communities, the most well-known being Bella Bella. This settlement is believed to be the location of Fort McLoughlin, an important post during the Maritime Fur Trade for the Hudson’s Bay Company in the late eighteenth Century. Bella Bella’s fifteen hundred residents are predominantly Heiltsuk, the indigenous people of British Columbia, currently living in the largest Indian Reserve in the province. Ferry travel is popular in British Columbia, given the vast quantity of islands all the way up the coast. Campbell Island can be reached from both the Canadian mainland and surrounding islands, including the enormous and ever popular Vancouver Island.
