On the way up and back you take in the natural beauty of the Coastal mountain range bordering both sides Howe Sound and the islands that are nestled within. There is an abundance of sea birds to view as well as eagles and turkey vultures. Occasionally seeing orcas and humpback whales.

Bowen Island tour offers the opportunity to see up to 50 seals sunning themselves on a rock until it gets covered at high tide.
