Located directly across Discovery Passage from the city of Campbell River, Quadra Island is the largest of the Discovery Islands. Some 2,700 year-round residents are spread among three main villages: Cape Mudge (Yaculta), home to the We Wai Kai band of the Laichwiltach First Nation People; Quathiaski Cove, the island's commercial hub; and Heriot Bay, picturesque gateway to the outer Discovery Islands and mainland inlets.

With numerous accommodations ranging from cozy B&Bs and holiday rental homes to full-service luxury resorts, visitors to Quadra Island have a wide range of "home bases" from which to explore the island's stunning scenery, vibrant arts scene and abundant recreational opportunities.

Seaplane flights can be booked to April Point Resort on Quadra Island from Kenmore Air Harbor in North Seattle or from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with a nominally priced shuttle connection. Taxi service is available from April Point to elsewhere on the island through Quadra Taxi, 250.205.0505. The 2010 summer service season begins May 21.
