Gulf Islands National Park Reserve

Established in 2003, Gulf Islands National Park Reserve spans 8,896 acres of forested islands and marine habitats between Vancouver Island and the city of Vancouver. The park’s Mediterranean-like climate supports a rich variety of wildlife. Bald eagles, cormorants, and hawks can be seen soaring overhead, while orcas, porpoises, and seals frequent the waters. Visitors can explore the diverse ecosystems, from dense forests to rugged shorelines, and experience the natural beauty and tranquility of this protected area.
