Please Note: Tour requires a minimum of 2 people per bookingUpon leaving Vancouver, drive along a scenic highway to Horseshoe Bay to catch a ferry to Bowen Island. After taking the scenic 20-minute ferry ride to Snug Cove harbour, you'll walk into Crippen Regional Park and hike up to beautiful Killarney Lake. You'll then then start hiking up a steep forested trail.
On the way to the top, you will reach a viewpoint that offers views of Gambier and Keets Islands. After hiking further up, you'll eventually reach the top, where you can enjoy lunch while taking in the amazing views! Afterwards, hike back down to the Mt Gardner trailhead, completing a loop. From here on out, it's a relatively easy walk back down to Killarney Lake and the main street of Bowen Island.
If there is time, you will be able to stroll down main street, check out the shops and perhaps get a tasty treat. Then take the ferry back to Horseshoe Bay and head back to Vancouver. You should return at approximately 6pm, although this time will vary depending on traffic and the ferry schedule.
