Embrace the island way of life. Explore the pristine waters, rolling hills, and lush forests by kayak, bike, your own two feet, or, catch a ride from a friendly local. The Southern Gulf Islands are home to environmentally conscious communities. Your trip is an opportunity to support them by getting farm-fresh produce at the farmers’ markets or farm stands that dot the meandering roads, or dining at locally-owned, farm-to-table businesses. Remember to help reduce the stress on their limited garbage collection services by packing out what you pack in!
