About Canada

Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, bordering the United States to the south. Not only is Canada blessed with one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world, it brings a diverse culture and a variety of vibrant cities to the table as well. It’s a haven for any kind of traveller; you can spot orcas along the west coast, ski down Whistler Mountain, explore Colonial landmarks or sample some exquisite French cuisine in a buzzing metropolis. With the British Columbian shoreline stretching over 25,000 km and the islands of Graham and Victoria found just off the coast, there are plenty of ferry departure points to choose from. There are numerous routes available too, both international and domestic, all operated by top quality ferry companies.

About Bowen Island

Bowen is a small Canadian island in British Columbia, nestling between Vancouver and Gambier Island in Howe Sound. The peaceful, pine-clad Bowen Island is populated by just over three thousand, proudly proclaiming their home as “Within Reach. Beyond Comparison”. Although just a mere twenty minutes from Vancouver by ferry, it seems like an island far removed, with unspoilt forests, winding rivers and quiet coves around every corner. Bowen boasts a fully flourished arts scene as well, with the Arts Pacific Gallery showcasing various brilliant sculptures and paintings. But it isn’t without its thrilling outdoor activities. The hilly terrain offers superb mountain biking and hiking, whilst the myriad lakes and streams are ideal for refreshing dips and kayaking adventures with the family. Given its proximity to the Canadian mainland, Bowen Island is well served by ferry and extremely easy to reach, with over a dozen sailings available every day from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver.
