Bowen Island Off the coast of Vancouver, there are many beautiful secluded islands. For a wonderful half-day trip, Bowen Island can be reached in a half-hour ferry trip. There are only three main roads on Bowen Island, all branching out from Snug Cove, so how you spend your day depends on whether you are travelling by car, bike or foot.You can drive or bike to Killarney Lake, but the 75-minute trail around the lake is only for hikers. The boardwalk that crosses a marsh at one end is an excellent vantage point to view mink, grouse, ravens, eagles, herons, cormorants and deer. Fabulous sea-kayaking is also available at Bowen Island Sea Kayaking, where one can explore 37 kilometres (23 miles) of coastline and many nearby islands. Mount Gardiner is Bowen's highest point and the view of surrounding islands and the Lions peaks are well worth the all-day hike. A number of local artists, such as Sam Black, open their studios to the public and this can make for a pleasant tour. See the Concierge for further details. Within a 2 hour drive of the Hotel
