THINK OF THIS as a great ALL day event and sketching opportunity! Going to nearby Bowen Island is also an adventure - we did it last year and it was lots of fun! Bowen Island is an interesting destination with lovely coastlines, deep forests and a much slower lifestyle. It is also a part of Metro Vancouver. The village of Snug Cove has a boat harbour, restaurants, pubs, ice cream available, gift shops and galleries. There is a fairly easy hiking trail, along a beach and through the forest to Killarney Lake (45 minutes each way).
How to Get There:
8:55 am: Take #257 Express bus at Dunsmuir St @ Cambie Street to the terminus stop, Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal
10:10 am: Take BC Ferry to Bowen Island. $12 passenger fare return
*You can also drive to Horseshoe Bay, but be reminded that the parking lots are paid and can fill up quickly.
