Made up of over a dozen large islands, the Gulf Islands is interspersed with a multitude of islets too numerous to count. This special west coast Gulf Island paradise of Canada is a small taste of the Mediterranean, blended with a unique Canadian flavour.

The Gulf Islands enjoy less than 30 inches of rain per year. Lying southwest of the Strait of Georgia, along the coast of Vancouver Island between Campbell River to the north and Victoria to the south, this necklace of islands is surrounded by sheltered waters, strong tides, and dramatic coastlines.

The Gulf Islands Guide brings alive the diversity and culture of British Columbia’s beautiful Gulf Island paradise.

Enjoy a photographic tour of your favourite Gulf Island or look at all of them and then decide which islands you wish to visit. Our photo tours take you by virtual ferry to the bays and the spectacular views the Gulf Islands are famous for. Most of the images on The Gulf Islands Guide are available for purchase for both personal and commercial use. Please contact us with your requirements.

Photography Workshops: After numerous requests I am planning a series of photography workshops for the late spring and summer. These workshops will take place in the Cowichan Valley and will cover basic DSLR use for beginners as well as advanced courses with subjects such as macro work or low light photography. Additional workshops will be given in the Gulf Islands if enough participants express an interest in those locations; likely Pender Island and Salt Spring Island. Stay tuned for additional information about dates and locations. If you are interested in being added to a list with the latest updates please fill in the form here. Don’t hesitate to ask about a particular photography subject that might interest you.
