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 Canada

Canada, the world’s second largest country by total area, is in North America, with the United States to the south and Greenland to the northeast. Synonymous with the great outdoors, Canada has a huge variety of impressive landscapes ranging from enormous mountains and glittering glaciers to eerie forests and picturesque beaches. Spectacular cityscapes can be found in the capital, Ottawa, the cosmopolitan Toronto and the French-speaking Montreal. Within these cities, you can delve into a vibrant arts scene, enjoy a diverse cuisine or let loose at incredible music events like Jazz parties and classical repertory theatre. If you’re looking to cross the border from the United States, there are regular ferry crossings from Seattle, Washington State to Vancouver Island. Plenty of domestic routes are available along the British Columbian Coast as well, with connections between the popular Victoria and Graham Islands.
