Get outta town! Easy summer day trips from Vancouver

A hop, skip and a 20-minute ferry ride away, Bowen Island offers downtown dwellers a convenient escape from city life. Access the island by car or on foot from the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal or take a water taxi from Granville Island or English Bay. When you arrive, grab a coffee from The Snug Café and go for a walk through Crippen Park or rent a sea kayak and take a paddling tour through the surrounding waterways. After you’ve worked up an appetite, visit a local pub and order a pint of craft beer from the Bowen Island Brewing Company.
