There are a number of options for you to get out on the water whether it’s a boat, kayak, or even a stand-up paddleboard. And if you want to get in the water? There are pockets of warm water that make for a perfect place to jump right in.

Kenmore Air flies to several different anchorage points in the Desolation Sound area: April Point, Stuart Island, Refuge Cove, and Prideaux Haven. There are resorts, hotels, and vacation rentals available in the area, making this the perfect meeting place whether you’re looking to cruise the lush shorelines, fish for king salmon or halibut, search for some wildlife or just relax in one of the most beautiful settings on the planet.

FLOATPLANE

Seasonal service, May to September, for Desolation Sound from either Kenmore Air Harbor or Lake Union. Our fleet includes six-seat de Havilland Beavers and eight-seat Otters. Looking for something more personal? The Cessna 180 is a two to three passenger floatplane that is a most economical charter option. Sorry, no complimentary baggage storage on-site.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Kenmore Air flies to five different anchorage points in Desolation Sound, which makes it an ideal connection and pick-up point. There are some lodging options in the area such as the April Point Resort and Spa on Quadra Island or the Cabana Desolation Eco Resort on Kinghorn Island, Nanook Lodge, or Dent Island. Other spots — like Mink Island — are privately owned, but have public anchorage.

ACTIVITIES

The beauty of Desolation Sound is all that you don’t have to go anywhere. It’s beautiful anywhere you are with a selection of coves and inlets you’ll be free to explore at your own pace alongside the bald eagles, orca whales, porpoise and sea lions found in the area. Cruising, kayaking, fishing? It’s all here.

ARRIVE AT THE GATEWAY TO CANADA’S INNER PASSAGE

BOOK A FLIGHT

NANAIMO’S BEAUTY STRETCHES FROM MOUNTAIN TO SHORE

Located on the east side of Vancouver Island, the town of Nanaimo juts out into the Straight of Georgia to form a three-sided waterfront. Vancouver sits on the opposite side of the strait while Victoria is 70 miles to the south. However, Canadians will tell you the distance is actually 113 kilometers.

Nanaimo has one of the longest shorelines in Canada, and it features an incredible backdrop of forested hills. Mount Benson rises to the west, the Nanaimo Estuary sits just south of town and to the north is Canada’s Inner Passage and the magnificent fjords that glaciers carved from the coastal mountains millions of years ago. Nanaimo is your gateway to Canada’s Inner Passage as it’s where Kenmore Air’s northbound flights clear Canadian Customs.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Looking to stay on the historic waterfront with a room looking out on the Salish Sea? Check the Coast Bastion Hotel in historic downtown. Something a little more rural? How about Long Lake Waterfront, which offers complimentary canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Seeking something else? There’s a wide range of accommodations in Nanaimo.

ACTIVITIES

Nanaimo is a bustling port surrounded by so much natural beauty that there’s as much to do on land as there is on the water. Hike to Ammonite Falls, mountain bike over the miles of trails and board walks, or play one of the five nearby golf courses. You can get out on the water in a kayak, catamaran or even a hovercraft or get in the water with a scuba-diving lesson. It’s all right here.
