Warm waters flow through Desolation Sound,
a maze of islands and fiords on Vancouver Island's East Coast.
Maybe Capt. Vancouver was having a bad day back in 1792 when he
named the region.
Everyone who visits Desolation Sound these
days canÍt get over the lush forests, abundant wildlife, and
Mediterranean climate. Carved into the inaccessible wilderness
of the Canadian mainland over the ages, the soaring peaks of the
coastal mountains tumble to the waterÍs edge in a jumble of
river mouths and small islands. The rugged terrain has stopped
any road access into Desolation; kayaks are the perfect way to
visit this majestic and unspoiled area.
