Flores Island is a small island (approximately 150 km²) in Clayoquot Sound, off the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The village of Ahousaht is the only major settlement on the island. The island is home to many members of the Nuu-chah-nulth or Nootka First Nation. The island can only be accessed by boat or seaplane.
The main industry is fishing with some tourism. Tourism is promoted through the Walk on The Wildside hiking trail.
Flores Island was named in 1791 by Francisco de Eliza, in honor of Manuel Antonio Flores, the 51st viceroy of New Spain.[1]
