As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, more and more kayakers enjoy Bowen's picturesque ocean backyard. Locals can take advantage of great Bowen kayaking on Wednesday nights after 5 p.m. where locals paddle for only $10 the best deal in town!
Advance and hone your kayak or stand-up paddle board skills with one of the many Bowen Island Sea Kayaking (BISK) courses or tours that provide kayakers with the instruction and knowledge to paddle safely and with confidence. Are you already an intermediate or advanced paddler looking for an adventure not far from home? The Howe Sound "Three Peaks Challenge" tests your skills and stamina both on land and on the water. This two-day guided tour involves paddling to and from three Howe Sound islands: Anvil, Gambier and Bowen, and climbing the highest peak of each. We provide kayaks, food and guide for this unforgettable experience.
Kayaking is not just for the adults. BISK has a fleet of kids' boats to get your little paddler started! The popular Kids Kayak classes are well underway on Monday evenings and at local schools: IPS and BICS are getting ready for their upcoming overnight kayak trips guided by BISK guides. Our summer "Kids Kayak Kamp" has already started taking registrations.BISK is also offering Kayak Birthday Parties for little paddlers (five to 12-year-olds) or big paddlers (ages 12 and older). Parties include 1.5 hours of supervised kayaking instruction and fun, age appropriate games and activities conducted by BISK instructors. Boats, paddles, life jackets, PFDs and fun included.
On June 23, look for a hub of activity on the dock and around the island as paddlers from all over North America travel to Bowen for the epic Round Bowen Challenge. In its 13th year, this 32-kilometer race around Bowen Island is open to kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boards and outriggers as solo or relay team members.
