The Wind in the Willows

half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Princess Louisa



Majestic Princess Louisa Inlet was dug out by gigantic glaciers and is guarded by mountains 6,500 feet high. The waters are very deep and beautifully calm and serene. It was named last century after Queen Victoria's mother, Victoria Maria Louisa, though the First Nations people called it Suivoolot, Chinook for "sunny & warm." Lined with trees and slender waterfalls sprouting from its sheer granite walls, the inlet is an idyllic and well-concealed stretch of water that seems to weave its own special magic on all who enter here.
