Saturna Island

9 cycling stops along this route · Vancouver Island

50 km · Full dayAmbitiousCalm streets, some sharingMixed surface

Saturna is the quietest of the ferry-served Gulf Islands, half of it national park reserve, and its hilly lanes make an 11.5 to 50 km out-and-back ending at East Point, where orcas pass close to the sandstone bluffs. Almost no services and almost no cars; bring supplies and settle into island time.
