π² Ancient trees, ancient land. πΏ
Meares Island is home to some of the oldest and largest trees in Canada β a temperate rainforest cathedral that has to be seen to be believed. The famous "Big Tree Trail" takes you among red cedars over 1,000 years old.
Getting there? That's where we come in. SLJ Charters runs water taxi service to Meares Island, getting you there comfortably and on time so you can focus on the wonder ahead.
Captain Bert Tom's family has a deep connection to Meares Island β his Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation ancestors have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Riding with us isn't just transport β it's context.
