This map covers two distinct regions on Vancouver Island, Quatsino Sound on the west and Goletas Channel on the east. Both have their own unique character with Quatsino Sound being much more protected than Goletas Channel. Quatsino Sound consists of several inlets, Holberg, Neroutsos and Rupert. One of the most well known features within Quatsino Sound is Quatsino Narrows, a set of tidal rapids that form the entrance to Holberg and Rupert Inlets. Quatsino is also rich in native history with ancient middens found throughout the region. Goletas Channel is much more rugged and very susceptible to adverse weather conditions from the Pacific Ocean. Gods Pocket is the only provincial park found within this region, encompassing Hurst, Bell and Beard Islands to mention afew. Queen Charlotte Strait is noted for spectacular scuba diving, along with the many islands within the strait that provide ample opportunity for boaters to explore marine life.
