Arrive & exhale
Take the ferry into Sturdies Bay, pick up something delicious, then settle into the garden. End the day with the hot tub, the fire table and nowhere else to be.
Galiano Island · British Columbia
Take the long way
through the weekend.
A ferry ride away from the mainland, Galiano rewards unhurried travellers: shoreline walks, forest trails, memorable meals and a community calendar full of reasons to come over.
Galiano, at its most peaceful
The quiet season is not
the off season.
In fall and winter, the island settles into a softer rhythm. Trails are peaceful, restaurants feel neighbourly, and evenings invite you back to the warmth of your own private garden retreat.
Come for an exhibition, concert, workshop or holiday gathering—or come with no agenda beyond a book, a walk and dinner somewhere lovely.
A simple two-night escape
Your Galiano weekend,
already imagined.
Walk & wander
Start slowly, choose a shoreline stroll or forest hike, stop for lunch, and leave room for whatever is happening on the island that evening.
One more morning
Coffee in bed, a last walk at Bellhouse Park or Morning Beach, and an easy ferry home feeling as though you went much farther away.
Walk
Forest, bluff
and shoreline.
Choose an easy oceanfront wander or a longer climb. Bellhouse Park is close to the ferry, while Montague Harbour and the island trail network offer room to roam.
Taste
Make dinner
part of the trip.
Galiano’s food scene ranges from bakery mornings and casual island favourites to destination-worthy dinners. Hours change with the season, so check ahead and let the meal become part of the anticipation.
