All you need to know to plan your visit to  Quadra Island Located across Discovery Passage from Campbell River, Quadra Island is home to a vibrant community with strong ties to the land and sea. Some islanders continue to make their living in traditional resource-based industries like fishing and forestry. Others work as artists, writers, shop and gallery owners, and in a full complement of professional services. A large number of active, community-minded retirees live on the island. Local events--from festivals to cultural performances--are largely organized by volunteers. Known for its inspiring natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere, Quadra is an ideal destination for unforgettable experiences. The island also offers excellent sightseeing and shopping opportunities. The adventure begins as soon as you board the ferry in Campbell River. During the scenic 10-minute crossing, look out for orca whales, porpoises, seals, otters, and bald eagles. Navigating the swift flowing tides of Discovery Passage, the ferry travels the same waters as the island's namesake, Don Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, did 200 years ago. Quadra and Captain George Vancouver were the first European explorers to make contact with the First Nations people, who have been living in the area for thousands of years.
