What better way to experience GALIANO ISLAND than by exploring its craggy shorelines, hidden bays and the calm water of Trincomali Channel…..the choice of a multitude of Westcoast boaters.

Leaving the dock at Montague Marina the boater can head out past Parker Island and head north to the white cliff face where the Black Cormorants are nesting in large numbers. A quiet moment observing and photographing these amazing birds soon puts a hectic day to day lifestyle in perspective. Visiting Retreat Cove to view a marine cave or dropping in to Conover Cove on Wallace Island or picking up a wood fired pizza at the Raven Restaurant near the Fernwood Dock are just a few of the highlights of your marine adventure.

Viewing the resident pod of Orcas (J Pod….19 in number) as they pass through Active Pass is the ultimate in a marine adventure. They travel through Active Pass on a regular 1-2 day feeding cycle during the summer months.
