Bowen Island Guided Sea Kayaking

Bowen Island Guided Sea Kayaking is a close-to-the-water look at the island’s rocky coast, with forest above the shoreline and the mountains of Howe Sound beyond. Paddling gives the island a different scale from its village lanes and walking trails.

Bowen Island Sea Kayaking’s three-hour Shoreline Tour starts in Snug Cove and includes instruction before the coastal paddle. The guide chooses the north or south shoreline to suit conditions, so particular coves and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Beginners are welcome; children must be at least six and accompanied by an adult.

Book a departure before arranging your ferry day and allow time to reach the meeting point. Wear clothes suited to getting splashed and follow the operator’s equipment instructions. Ferry travel from Horseshoe Bay is additional; leave a comfortable margin for the return crossing.
