Finding Paradise Getting Here

Nestled in the heart of an archipelago on the rugged West Coast of Canada, Sonora Resort is a remote sanctuary that is surprisingly within reach. Accessible only by air or water, the only unexpected visitors at our private oasis is the abundance of wildlife.

The most convenient and scenic way to travel to Sonora is an approximately 50-minute flight from Vancouver, bringing you directly to the resort landing pad. Arriving via water taxi from Campbell River is also possible. Our Guest Services team is here to help coordinate your travel and make any custom arrangements.
