Best Time to Cruise Desolation Sound

The most popular time to cruise Desolation Sound is from mid-July through the end of August, when the prospects for sunny, warm weather are best.  It’s also when the anchorages and facilities are most crowded.  June weather can be cook and rainy, but crowds are not a problem.  It’s then that the waterfalls are most awesome and the resorts and businesses, while open and stocked, are the least harried.

If your calendar permits, the very best time to cru9ise Desolation Sound might be early to mid-September.  By then the high-season crowds have departed, yet summer usually hangs on for a last and glorious finale.    Stock in the stores may be thin and the young summertime help has headed back to school, but the low slanting sunlight paints the hills and mountains with new drama, and the first colours of autumn make each day a fresh experience.  Watch the weather closely.  Leave before the fall storm pattern begins, although usually that not before October.
