the little touches left us feeling pampered. . . The Georgia Straight
The apple has a long history-from the Garden of Eden to the Heavenly Mountains of Kazakhstan, along the
silk road to the West, across the ocean to the new world, and eventually to this little Island in Howe Sound. In 1892, Early pioneers were advised that the climate was suitable for growing tree fruits. William Davies reported to the Department of Agriculture that he grew a wide variety of apples in his orchard. Florence, Davies' wife, would often make the trip to English Bay in a row boat with a supply boat in tow laden with fruit to sell in Vancouver. Today, Bowen is home to heritage orchards over 100 years old.

Bowen Island sits in Howe Sound at the entrance to the Georgia Straight, just eight nautical miles from West Vancouver. We’ve been welcoming
visitors since the Squamish First Nations people summered here; and earned the moniker ‘the people’s playground’ in the early 1890s when mainlanders began to flock to Bowen for fun and frolic on ‘The Happy Isle’. Take a hike, play a round of golf, kayak, or just savour the quiet. Enjoy our isle for the day, stay for a rejuvenating rest, or revel in a romantic weekend.kend.

We are an intriguing little island just a 20 minute ferry-ride from West Vancouver’s Horseshoe Bay. Bowen is
essentially the same size as Manhattan Island (22.96 sq. miles); but we think our wildlife is way more interesting: Pileated Woodpeckers, eagles, ravens, and cormorants, elegant Great Blue Herons, stoic Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Calliope Hummingbirds, and Pacific Tree Frogs, and never far from a garden, the fearless Black-tailed Deer!
Come play, stay, and enjoy The Rock. Bowen Island, a.k.a. “The Rock,” is 20 square miles of relatively untouched mature forest straddling two biological zones, a diversity found nowhere else in Canada. With a Mediterranean-like climate, the dry Coastal Fir Zone supports some of the largest remaining forests and woodlands of Arbutus and Douglas Fir. The Coastal Western Hemlock Zone, one of the wettest regions in the world, is found on only a handful of islands in the Howe Sound.
You’ve arrived on an island of flavours and fun. For the early riser and ferry-rider, The Snug’s breakfast, lunch and to-go dinners
are great, wholesome food, thoughtfully prepared in Joan’s comfort kitchen. The place is always hoppin’. Grab a java or linger for a libation - the eggs benny are to die for and the chicken pesto sandwiches can’t be beat. And if you don’t feel like cookin’ dinner, Snug’s one-dish-dinners are a treat.
Located in the heart of Snug Cove, Miksa is a local favourite! Join us for lunch, dinner, or drinks on our sunny patio! Open 7 days a week.

With the 20 minute ferry ride you can leave your car in Horseshoe Bay and use the Bowen Island Community
Shuttle. Walking on the ferry gives you the opportunity to arrive closer to sailing time than if you were driving on. If you do drive over, there is a gas station located on Mt. Gardner Road just past BICS, our community school.
Take a Bus: Horseshoe Bay is serviced regularly from downtown Vancouver by West Vancouver’s Blue Buses. Number 250 (the scenic route) and 257 (the express) arrive and depart from the ferry terminal.
Ride the Ferry: The Queen of Capilano, Bowen Island’s ferry, leaves Horseshoe Bay on the hour in the mornings from 6:00 am. There is a break after the noon sailing and the afternoon’s first sailing from Horseshoe Bay is at 2:25 pm: the last sailing leaves at 9:35 pm. Last sailing from the Bowen Island side is 10:00 pm.
Connect with the Bowen Island Community Shuttle: Our friendly bus drivers schedule their routes to connect commuters with ferry sailings, and have been known to act as tour guides—and all for the price of a bus ticket! Keep your transfer, we're a Translink service.
