The next and only best thing to setting to the Beautiful Vancouver islands (or mainland) other then flying.
Depending on what your doing, i reccommend walking on if you can to save the costs of taking a car. If needed you can usually rent a car at…More »

Well this is a great option for those downtowners that don't have time to wrestle with getting to Horeshoe Bay and getting and waiting in line. Why not hop of the taxi at Granville Island and be on Bowen within 30 minutes? I have heard many good…More »

This is my parents favorite place on Bowen Island, and now i know why. The tastes and quality are felt in every single bite of food here. I can't even tell you what my favorite dish is anymore because we ordered tapas of Roasted Garlic and Cumin…More »

This place is totally a gem~ The same owners of Tuscany Italian restaurant down the street decided to open this wonderful eatery in a spot that was really having a hard time keeping businesses alive. Tucked away up the hill from the ferry you will…More »

This is one of my favorite chocolate shops ever! Located in the Aritisan Square, a little of a stroll up from the ferry. The chocolates and truffles are not cheap but you only need a couple to be deeply satisified. My favorite is the Chai truffle.…More »

A short stroll, right off the ferry will transfer into the woods of Bowen Island. This well marked out trail will make you feel like you have walked right into a Canadian jungle.. that's because you have! I have done this walk probably 20 times and…More »

This is great little operation and a must do when over on Bowen Island. It is also a 2 for 1 in the Entertainment Book so you can save some cash. A bunch of my friends when out for 2 hour paddle. We fought the current the whole way, and eventually…More »

I don't play golf but i have heard enough people rave (non Bowener's!) about this course that i have to write a review. Also my brother William runs the pro shop so be sure to say hi to him because he is so awesome.
Tucked away about a 10 minute…More »

I love this location and the ambiance but i have to say the food isn't that special. It ain't bad either but it seems pretty expensive for what you are getting. I love that you can sit outside and chat with whomever you run into or pet all the local…More »

This place is trying to be something but not quite pulling it off at the price point they are asking for. $20 for a pizza with little to no toppings in the name of Italian fine dining doesn't work for me. But we still go back.. mainly because the…More »
