SGI OUTSIDE will add paddling routes originating from Saturna Island, like Winter Cove to Tumbo Island, the Thomson Park-Murder Point-Taylor Point shoreline, and Around Saturna Island, once RP revisits these in 2026. In the meantime, read about Saturna launching/landing options and destinations in the Saturna Island/AND IF YOU PADDLE section of knowledgeable paddler/hiker Charles Kahn’s book Hiking the Gulf Islands of British Columbia: 4th Edition.
