Tours

Touring the inlets, islands, and beaches around Bowen Island with one of our experienced guides is a great way to enjoy time on the water and get close to nature.

Bowen Island Sea Kayaking guides are trained in safety and well-versed in island history. While navigating the shoreline, they will share their knowledge of the geological forces that created Howe Sound, how First Nations figure into Bowen Island’s history, the Union Steamship era, industrialization, and the rebirth of the region’s marine ecosystem. Bowen Island Sea Kayaking maintains a guide to participant ratio of 1:6.

Tours are organized in three different time increments: three-hours, day tours (six hours), or multi-day trips. The three-hour tours are suitable for families, beginners, and those who want a shorter adventure.

Groups of 10 or more may also be entitled to group discounts. For group information, please visit our Groups page.
