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 Mayne Island

Part of the southern Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada, Mayne Island lies halfway between Vancouver Island and the country’s mainland. Encompassing twenty one square-kilometres of total serenity and offering numerous, laidback outdoor activities, Mayne Island is home to a mere one thousand permanent residents. A typical day involves swimming, kayaking and boating past idyllic bays, venturing out on fishing trips or cycling through pine-clad hills. It also hosts a few community events, the most popular being Fall Fair in August and delicious salmon barbeques on Labour Day weekend in September. So whatever the time of year, it makes a wonderful refuge from the British Columbian tourist highways of Vancouver and its namesake island.
