Princess Louisa Inlet – British Columbia

Princess Louisa Inlet , a remote place on the west coast of British Columbia, is a mere gap of six kilometers long and just a few hundred meters wide. This may possibly be one of the most beautiful places on earth. It can only be reached by boat or float plane and it lies at the tip of the long body of water called Jervis Inlet. Princess Louisa Inlet has a charm and scenic beauty that must be seen and experienced. 

In 1919 a young man named James MacDonald discovered, fell in love and filed for ownership of the lands surrounding the inlet, with Chatterbox Falls at it’s head. Later in 1953 MacDonald transferred ownership of these lands to the Princess Louisa International Society.

The sheer cliffs rise a mile high, straight from the water. Steep glacial carved walls of granite rise out of what is often mirror calm water. All around is the thick rainforest; the trees are tall and their trunks are covered with green/blue moss. The forest glades are deeply shaded and one half expects gnomes, elves and fairies to appear from around the trees. The tweeting and chattering of the birds are constant. It is a truly magical place, restful and tranquil.

Everyone should be fortunate enough to see Princess Louisa Inlet, The Princess as MacDonald referred to it, at least once in their lives.

 “Friend to all who came here. Whose monument is this place of beauty

Given by him to the yachting fraternity of the Pacific Northwest so that it will

Remain forever unspoiled.” ~ Mac (James F. MacDonald)
