🇨🇦 Vancouver Day Trip Idea | Galiano Island Adventure
🌿 After exploring *Victoria, Nanaimo*, and most of Metro Vancouver over three summers, I've become *half-local*—so it was time to discover Galiano Island ! ⛴️ Getting There : - BC Ferries from *Tsawwassen Bay* (2 sailings/day: 10:25AM & 7:30PM). - 55-minute ride (shorter than Victoria trips!). - 🚗 *Vehicle tips*: Same process as Vancouver Island ferries—*smooth boarding*. - 🐶 Highlight: Spotted *two adorable black-and-white dogs* onboard! (Forgot to ask the breed—now rethinking my *Samoyed/Border Collie* dreams...) 🏝️ Island Vibes : - Untouched nature —perfect for *hiking/biking*. - 🦌 Saw *two deer* right after docking! (*Too slow for photos...*) - 📡 Heads-up : *Spotty cell service*—download maps offline or bring Starlink (we learned this the *hard way* after *30 mins lost*!). 🍽️ Must-Eat : The Pink Geranium 🌸 - *Cozy cottage* with *modern bathrooms* + *Tesla charger* (!). - Food? Uber-delicious —*trust me*. ⛺ Stay or Day Trip? : - Compact enough for a *day trip* (we drove back same day). - *Airbnbs* available if you want to *escape longer*—*stellar nature views*! 💖 Best Moment : Met *Rob*, who was *biking the island* as his *bachelor party*! He danced with our Cybertruck, calling it the "*best ending ever*". *Congrats, Rob!* 🎉 (Travel encounters = *the real magic*.) #HiddenGems #IslandLife #DayTripGoals #EscapeTheCrowd #VanIslandAdventures #NatureTherapy #FerryTales #ExploreBC #SlowTravel
