Discovery Islands Viewpoint
Located just a short 5 minute walk away from the main resort area, the Discovery Islands Gazebo and Viewpoint are perched overlooking Innes passage and the Gillard Islands. Here, Steller sea lions line the channels as they fish for salmon passing through the narrow waterways. Wander across the footbridge and wild forest trail on the small island to the opposite shoreline to see the tidal rapids up close and capture stunning photos of these massive 2000lb sea lions putting on a show.

Hiking & Biking Trails
Well-marked hiking and biking trails meander through the lush Pacific rainforest of Sonora Island. Shorter loops take you through the woods to lookout points, while a longer 5-kilometre hike, following an old logging road, leads to Florence Lake where you can picnic and swim. Light hiking boots or running shoes are recommended for all trails, and bringing along a set of bear bells is also a good idea. For your safety, let the gift shop know where you are headed and your estimated return time.

Florence Lake
Florence Lake is located 5km away from the main resort area, or about a one-and-a-half-hour hike from the resort. Enjoy a refreshing swim off of the dock with swimming ladders, or bask in the sun in the picnic area. Washroom facilities are located here as well, accessible with your guest room key.
We also offer a Florence Lake Water Sports day trip with a vehicle shuttle to Florence Lake, the use of canoes or stand-up paddleboards, and a picnic lunch.
