A naturalist's paradise, the thirty-three square kilometer area includes
forests, wetlands, mud flats, rock bluffs, reefs and beaches. Kayaking, cycling,
and hiking are all popular pastimes with visitors, and there are miles of
scenic coastlines and roads to explore.
Saturna is also the least developed and most pristine of the Gulf Islands,
with approximately half of the island protected under the Gulf Islands National
Park Reserve (GINPR).
