Southern Gulf Islands  –  Sometimes called the "Canadian San Juan Islands" because they're part of the same island chain, the Southern B.C. Gulf Islands have their own unique charms. Once inside the outer barrier islands, the waters are almost always calm and allow for smooth sailing, complete with plenty of scenic harbours with sunny decks and patios to stop and visit. Or play a round of golf. There are four great golf destinations on Salt Spring, Galiano, Gabriola and Pender Islands. We can even arrange a special golf tour for you.
