For those of you not familiar with the area, Travel to West Vancouver (20 min by a ferry from Bowen Island) and Vancouver downtown (30 min by 257 bus from a ferry terminal in West Vancouver) is a short and pretty pleasant little trip. Day-trips to the mainland all via public transportation are possible - just watch the ferry schedule for the last one to return to home. The ferry is the only option on and off the island- it is better to be there 20 minutes before the sailing even if there is no line up, and much earlier if there is a line up. North Vancouver traffic is unpredictable and sometimes it may take an hour or more to get to the ferry terminal. Ferry delays are possible, unfortunately. If you are a walk tourist, please check 280 local bus schedule for the last bus to get Charming Nest from Snug Cove (Bowen Island ferry terminal). Bowen Island doesn't have a taxi.
