Subscription info . April Point Resort looks out over Discovery Passge and as we sipped our morning coffee we watched the cruise ships and kayakers go by, and kept our eyes peeled for Orcas. Don is the new General Manager of the April Point and he is busy these days focusing his efforts on diversifying the resort's traditional sports fishing oriented clientele. When the Oak Bay Marine Group acquired April Point only a few months ago, they set the wheels in motion for creating a resort that ecotourists would flock to and, they have succeeded. April Point Resort is located in the middle of a wilderness playground.
Paddlers can rent kayaks or bring their own boats.
Guided tours are also available. Within a few paddle strokes of the April Point dock, you can explore Gowlland Island, spot seals, herons, eagles and at low tide an abundance of intertidal life. Experienced paddlers with their own boats can explore further, to Steep Island, or along the shoreline of Quadra Island. Of course there is also the lake systern on Quadra which is a must. On our first day at the resort, Greg and I rented scooters and headed out to do some exploring.
