Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park

Tranquility at it's finest! Many species of birds and quite a few seals were out and about. Amongst all the lush greenery were bleeding heart flowers, which I was surprised to see. What an amazing, beautiful place to visit!

One of the most beautiful places on earth!

Beautiful, must see. Suggest taking the day boat tour to the falls.

Breathtaking views and incredibly fresh air! Mind the Rapids passage time table and your trip should be very smooth and pleasant. the crossing to Princess Louisa, if you get good weather, it's one of the most relaxing sailings ever. The rocky walls of the passage are full of small waterfalls and right outside Princess Louisa Park we have seen bears. You can anchor or doc here for a max of 3 days . At the dock you are asked for a$20 donation, while for the moorage buoys the price is $10. The 3 small dock around McDonald island bay are private, even if I have seen people tied on overnight. Also, this bay has a good amount of rock under, visible at low tide. It's also very hard to anchor, if not impossible (I have seen people getting in trouble trying so unfortunately). There are 4 moorage buoys available, so if you're lucky, this bay is amazing! Gets very dark, very fast, so try to set yourself in a safe place way before the sunset. Another advice, don't stern tie right in the middle of (the already too) small chanal, like some boaters do. It's safety and respect (it was funny to watch though)

At the Rapids, you can even enjoy a coffe at the Maliby Rapids Resort! There are 2 trails here, one is Ming's trail (1 k ) from the McDonald bay and the second is at the main waterfall and it's a pretty challenging one (4 or 5 h).

Truly a wonderful place. We took a boat in and then fly back. It was a great way to catch the fantastic scenery from two different perspectives.

Thank you Bryce! This trip was so incredible ! We live in the most beautiful place!

As with many things in life, it's the journey not the destination that makes the effort memorable. Princess Louisa Provincial park is a beautiful remote provincial park accessible ONLY by air or water though there has been talk of adventurers coming in from Whistler. Who knows for sure...anything is possible.

The Chatterbox Falls located at the end of the inlet, and steps away from the dock, provide the drama but the real joy comes with connecting with other boaters from far away places.

The park has very limited services, no power hook-ups or potable water.
