Bowen Island was an unexpected treasure of memories. Our friend who lives and works there invited us to stay over one night when we were visiting North Vancouver from Monteal in July.
The sunset was magnificent!!!!!!!!!! Moments later I almost "touched" the wildlife first hand as a deer was inches from my fender. Good thing the speed limit is a relaxing 40Kmh and I was going much less around the twisty roads.
Then there was the greatest view of Vacouver lit up with a full moon rising over the tall buildings. Unfortunately, my digital camera could not capture this incredible scene which will be etched in my memory for life. Dinner was great in one of the pubs. Breakfast was good, too, in one of the smaller places while we waited for the short ferry ride back to Horseshoe Bay.

What natural beauty - a hidden secret is the little island of Bowen. A quaint town and just beautiful. I would recomment a visit with or without kids. We have 2 little ones and they had a great time.

Looking for an interesting birthday celebration celebration while visiting Vancouver, we discovered Bowen Island, an interesting little island off BC. We had taken a small float plane from downtown Vancouver for a narrated aeriel tour of the area to English Bay where we landed and were escorted to the Doc Morgan Inn, a quaint little inn for dinner ( a lovely pasta meal). We took a moonlit ferry ride back across the bay , where a limousine met us to take us back to our hotel. This was all arranged on the BC tourism website (fly&dine). The price was more than reasonable and we had the most incredible evening. Plus met some wonderful locals.
