Portland Island is the largest first-come-first-served camping area in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. No camping reservations necessary.

Choose from three distinct camping areas according to your preference! No matter the choice, we always drop you right at the campsite, no need to walk with all your gear.

Cedar Coast Marine enables riders to share the cost of a trip with others. The more people that book on the same trip lowers the per person price. If you can’t get a group large enough, no worries, others can join your trip via your ref link from ‘My Trips’ once booked!

Experience Portland Island for as low as $18.75 per person for round-trip service to the island.

Rum Island is the kind of place that reminds you how little you actually need. Tucked away off the coast, this small island offers a peaceful escape where your days are shaped more by the sun, tides, campfires, and salty air.

Pitch your tent just steps from the shoreline, wake up to the sound of waves, and spend your days exploring tide pools, watching seabirds, or simply doing absolutely nothing. If you’re lucky enough for a cloudless night, the stars take over, uninterrupted by city lights, making your experience that much more memorable.

Whether you’re looking for a weekend adventure or a chance to unplug and reconnect with nature, Rum Island is a simple, quick trip from Sidney or Victoria, and is one of those beautiful destinations that not many people know about.

Let Cedar Coast Marine get you there to experience it for yourself!

A short transit across the water leads you to one of British Columbia’s most beautiful and secluded places, Darcy Island.
With no docks, potable water, or developed facilities, it’s a true back-to-nature destination. Explore quiet forest trails, enjoy a picnic, watch for seals and seabirds, camp overnight, or simply head over for the day and take in the solitude and stunning views of the Salish Sea.

Adventure doesn’t happen on the couch,
But you can book one from it.
Let Cedar Coast Marine get you there!
