Happy Weekend everyone!
Who's interested to see some beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Ocean in BC Canada, Bowen Island?
In my travel days in Canada BC, me and my husband were invited by our cousin to go on a day trip to Bowen Island. It was AWESOME! I've loved it! Bowen
Bowen Island is a small island near Vancouver city and you can get here by the ferry.
I have one regret though, that being of not staying for at least one night and visit more places and cool locations on the island. We've spent a half day in here, taking a walk with the kayak and then taking a walk by foot, having a pizza and see the surroundings.
I've been here In June. The weather is just perfect!
The island is so beautiful, really takes your breath away!
First, we took the fairy from Vancouver to Bowen Island. It was windy enough, especially on top floor. You can see in the picture below, how my hair is blown by the wind.
I don't remember it well, but I think the trip lasted for about half an hour.

Renting a Kayak
After we arrived on the island, we went straight to the rental service location. You can rent singles or doubles kayaks, for experienced and beginning kayakers. You can rent it for a couple of hours or you can choose a multi-day group, if planning ahead.
This is their website, you can take a look if you're interested!
We chose a route in which we explored the nearby shoreline. It took us aprox. 2 hours. We've paddled in total 10 kilometers.
We've rented a double kayak at the cost of around $70-80 CAD.
The view is simply amazing! And the experince was so much fun, interesting and relaxing! We could see the beautiful mountains and those fluffy clouds were just perfect to the gorgeous landscape.
In some pictures, you can see some houses on the shore, I wonder if they are vacation houses or people actually leave there!
The water is cold, as you can imagine. Actually my cousin felt it because he flipped with the kayak upside down. It was a bit scary at the moment but he managed to come at the surface sound and safe. I can't tell the same for his phone though One month use, brand new I-phone. It was gone.
I was pregnant in 1 month and a half so I had a strange feeling. I felt I had to be more vigilant, alert, take care of me and take wisely decisions because it's not just me anymore, you know?
I've had a Hawaii Pizza with Fried Red Pepper Rings on top! It was good, but not insanely delicious! I can't remember the exact place, but I know for sure it was a Pub!
Thank you guys for your support!
Hopefully you've made yourself an idea of how is Kayaking in Bowen Island, BC Canada. I would definetely revisit this amazing place with no doubts.
I don't know how is the rest of Canada, but BC rocks!
Love, Missdeli

what a beautiful place, it seems very peaceful to relax.
yes, it is! It's a beautiful place indeed!
Thanks for commenting @youyowi
I also enjoy rowing on the river just like you. I usually prioritize Sup over Kayak because I like the feeling of getting wet and easily sliding into the water :D
Well, I didn't try it yet but maybe some day! Sounds fun but adventurous, especially for the newbies like me! :D
Cheers fdrom Romania @crazy-bee.
P.S. I like ur nick name :)
Try it with full protective gear, reduce the separation from water, it's also fun
Well that's what people call me :D
I love bees, I love their work. Probably this is the reason why I like your nick name. But it's also funny. Crazy bee.Literally, I can imagine a bee going from flower to flower with high speed. not knowing what she's doing, all those other bees tell her that she's crazy because she forgot their bee dancing lol. Sounds more fun in my head that here.
:p
Wow, it's great to know you doing kayaking on there. I want to come one day!
Ohh please do if you have the chance! That place is really beautiful! Thanks for commenting @afripratiwi
What an excellent blog and fab pics, it looks like a stunning part of the world. It kind of reminds me of the Lake District here in England, but on a much more epic scale. You've got a new follower, keep up the great work! :-)
Thank you, I appreciate it! Followed you back, I would love to hear from you!
And yes, Canada is up to the top! Loved it! I've never been to England before, but honestly I would love to! Love England's beaches, as I could see in the pictures! :d
wow amazing photos. God bless!
Thank you! Gbu
That looks really cool! I never do kayaking, but hope to learn it one day!
I'm sure Canada is a beautiful country, though I've never been there ๐
Thank you @sunnyvo! Yes, Canada is a beautiful country, at least BC, where I had the chance to visit and explore some really nice places!
Cheers from Romania
Cat de faaaain! Sunt รฎnnebunita dupฤ peisajele din Canada โค๏ธ
Hey hey! ce mai faci? Asa-i? e chiar superb, adevarul ca BC e wow. Ma bucur ca am avut ocazia sa vizitez pe acolo una alta. hugs
So peaceful and calm. The scenery is stunning. I have relatives in Toronto, I hope I'll be able to visit soon. Great post and photos. ๐๐
Thank you for the comment, indeed it is! I've never been to Toronto, but I hear it's not as beautiful as British Columbia. If you go, you better write a post about it! :p
