“When the tide goes out, the table is laid for breakfast”, was Galiano pioneer Edward Winstnaley’s frequent comment. Settlers in these early days found the soil unfriendly and water scarce, turning instead to fishing, hunting, sheep and fruit growing to make ends meet.

I'm pretty sure many of your have never heard of Galiano Island. This island is as rich in history as it is in beauty. Long before Dionisio Galiano came here from Spain in 1792, aboriginal people made their homes here and gathered a rich variety of foods from its forests and shores.
Montague Harbour is now a provincial park but for thousands of years it was a major centre of aboriginal life.
People of the Coast Salish nation watched eagles ride updrafts from Active Pass, saw otters swimming off the shores, shared their fishing grounds with great blue herons and watched sea lions and killer whales play in Trincomali Channel.

We stay in a treehouse which is super beautiful and have great view.
It costs only $200 per night.
After settling down, we start our journey!
The owner of the treehouse, Zoe, is very nice, and she says she would love to bring us to an adventure!
We have an adverture on a lake!
Then, we back to our treehouse. Zoe cooks us dinner! She is the best person in the world :)
We are just staying here for one night, so we have to pack againnnn! :(
