Explore Quadra Island, BC

Life at the edge of the Great Bear Rainforest

Quadra Island is the central community of the Discovery Islands, a group of small islands located along the Inside Passage seaway between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, Canada. Quadra is home to a lively, close-knit community from all walks of life and all parts of the world. The area is blessed with stunning natural beauty, beaches, parks, wildlife and endless adventure-recreation opportunities.

Quathiaski Cove is the main port of arrival for the ferry from Campbell River, and is the commercial and cultural hub of the island. The We Wai Kai band of the indigenous Laichwiltach People, (Kwa' Kwa' Ka' Wa'Kw First Nation) mostly reside at Cape Mudge (Yaculta) village nearby.

Picturesque Heriot Bay is the port of departure for the ferry to Cortes Island and other marine services to the outer Discovery Islands and mainland inlets.
