Vacant stretches of glistening white sand beaches and diverse wildlife are just a couple of feature that draw people to this unique oasis.
Although it looks like a Caribbean paradise, Calvert Island is actually located 100 km north of the town of Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. Practically uninhabited, with relatively calm oceanic waters, the island is purely tranquil. What’s more, it affords world class scuba diving in Carrington Reef.

While breathtaking, the 155 acreage isalnd is also home to myriad wildlife. The diversity of habitats within Calvert Island Conservancy include numerous species from limpids and sea urchins to wolves, deer and black bears. Indeed, this natural oasis is pristine and fairly untouched, with very little pollution.
Another amazing fact about the island is that it contains an incredible archaeological find. Two fossilized footprints were found discovered that are thought to be the oldest known evidence of human habitation in North America; carbon-dating takes them back 13,200 years.
