Desolation Sound is a place of magnificent beauty, where mountains rise up from the sea in the deeply cut glacial fjords. Warm sea temperatures, picturesque anchorages, and a mild climate make it a world class boating and sea kayaking destination.

Departing from Squirrel Cove, we head North towards West Redonda Island and the granite walls of Teakerne Arm. With the anchor set near Cassel Falls we disembark for a short, Arbutus lined hike to the warm waters of Cassel Lake for a swim. On our return, we stop in at the historic boat access community of Refuge Cove.
