Park Info:

Rendezvous Island South Provincial Park is part of the BC Marine Trail Association network – a series of campsites, resting areas and safe havens designed and cared for by recreational boaters and paddlers. Once connected, this marine trail will extend from Vancouver to Prince Rupert and down into Puget Sound.

This undeveloped pristine wilderness park is a west coast paradise in the heart of the Discovery Islands. Rendezvous Island South Provincial Park comprises the entire southernmost island in the Rendezvous Island group, which consists of North Rendezvous Island, Middle Rendezvous Island and Rendezvous Island South.

Surrounded by virgin old-growth temperate rain forests and abundant wildlife, the Rendezvous Islands enjoy spectacular views of stunning fjords, including Bute Inlet and Toba Inlet, with the magnificent Coast Mountains in the background. The Rendezvous Islands are set amongst some of the finest salmon fishing waters in BC, and offer adventurers excellent sport fishing, boating, hiking, diving, sea kayaking and wildlife viewing opportunities.
