The Islands are reached by boat and there are several places to drop a hook. We chose Waiatt Bay. There were about 20 boats and we all had plenty of room to swing. Our favorite dingy trip was to the abandoned cabin where hundreds of boaters have left "artwork". Most creations are carved or written on driftwood and then are carefully hung throughout the windowless and doorless cabin. There is also a notebook to sign with comments. It's a special place and we're happy the owners of this island allow the art creations to continue.
We also did a hike in the marine park. The trail is well marked and goes all the way to a lake. Since the tide was rising and the bugs were biting, we only went to a small lake and then hiked back to our dinghy. We saw one skipper swimming out to his dinghy, but we were able to wade to ours since we'd selected a shallower landing spot. The Octopus Islands are definitely worth a visit!

The Octopus islands park can only be reached by boat and to really enjoy, you must anchor in the islands and then take advantage of the unique nature with a kayak or canoe or dinghy trip around. the scenery is spectacular and adjacent Waiatt bay is a large and very protected anchorage...so if the islands are already full when you get there, there is lots of parking space for your power cruiser or sailboat...take care of the surrounding waters as they require a good knowledge of tides and navigation.
