Bowen Island is a short ferry ride from Vancouver, so it makes a great nature escape. Leave the car behind and walk or bike onto the ferry. Once you arrive, go for a hike, paddle a kayak, hit the beach, or have a picnic.
Paddle a Kayak
Explore the shoreline and the nearby islands of Howe Sound by kayak. Sign up for a tour or rental at Bowen Island Sea Kayaking, located right next to the ferry terminal. They have stand-up paddleboards too.
