Sayward is a village located on Kelsey Bay
in a spectacular natural environment of the Sayward Valley along the north east coast of Vancouver Island.
By Vancouver Island standards, Sayward is a fairly old settlement. It was established in the 1890s at the mouth of the Salmon River and was originally called Port Kusum. Settlers arrived by boat and pushed inland into the lush valley.
Today Sayward is a logging town that features a log sort where cut logs are brought to be sorted before they are moved south.
Visitors to Sayward will find the town offers visitors full amenities, including moorage, accommodations, a recreation centre, shopping, and more. The Village of Sayward offers most services including a post office, RCMP office, ambulance station, regional library, groceries, gas and a liquor store. This doesn't hold true for some other areas in the region.
In addition to a small village center, Sayward offers many recreational opportunities in and around the village, including sport fishing charters, Killer Whale watching tours, wildlife viewing, world class caving, eco tours etc. Of course there are great places to eat, clean accommodations, and several pubs to relax in after a long drive or hike.
The area is also a natural playground with amazing opportunities for exploration and amusement. Outdoor activity includes caving, kayaking, hiking, whale watching, and wild life viewing.
Kelsey Bay harbour is the only small craft harbour located between Campbell River and Port McNeill on Johnstone Straits. It offers a recently overhauled and rebuilt loading ramp, a derrick, a wave reduction system. Electricity and marine gas is also available.
Daily charters take visitors whale watching into nearby Robson Bight, the only sanctuary in the world created to protect and preserve the killer whales (Orcas) that flock to the region in 'pods' of 20 or more. There are other charters for wildlife, site-seeing tours, or to take anglers out fishing for salmon which are so plentiful, some people just cast from the dock or shore! In Sayward, nature truly is 'right out side the door.
