Gabriola Island is one of BC’s beautiful Gulf Islands.

Sometimes called “Isle of the Arts,” Gabriola Island is just a 20-minute ferry ride away from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island so it’s nice and easy to get to.

It’s a unique place to visit near Vancouver and it is home to over 200 artists and artisans and over 70 art galleries and studios.

But it’s not all about the art. Some of the best things to do on Gabriola Island include exploring the island’s expansive forests, peaceful bays and beaches, and hiking trails. It’s a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.

Yes you can go kayaking, paddle-boarding, and hiking to explore the unique caves that Gabriola Island is known for. You can even experience the phenomena of bioluminescence!

Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast

After spending 15 years on Gabriola Island my wife and I have started calling this place Fantasy Island. Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast could have been the name for our B & B but unfortunately that would confuse it with Fantasy Island the 1978 TV show. So Gabriola Bed and Breakfast took the prize.

What makes Gabriola Island Fantasy Island?

Situated a short twenty minute ferry ride from Nanaimo, or a twenty minute plane ride from Vancouver it is easy to get here. Yet, that short trip over separates you from the hustle and bustle. A quiet place of rural beauty and forrest awaits. Great beaches with oceanside walks. Numerous hiking and walking trails. Many parks to explore.

Go for a walk at Drumbeg Park while staying at Gabriolabnb, Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast — Drumbeg Park is 5 minutes away from “Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast” AKA Gabriolabnb.com

Reason #1

Today I’ll talk about Drumbeg Provincial Park. One of three provincial parks on Gabriola Island, Drumbeg is a favourite spot for diving, hiking, nature viewing and picnicking. Overlooking scenic Gabriola Passage on the east end of the Island, Drumbeg offers excellent views of the Strait of Georgia and the Coast Mountains on the Mainland. The park contains a kilometre long sand and pebble beach with striking sandstone and conglomerate rock formations, which can be seen at low tide.

Natural Beauty

Did you know Drumbeg Park protects endangered Garry oak ecosystems. And undeveloped Douglas fir forest landscapes and a diverse marine zone. Species such as Bald eagles, Great Blue herons, harbour seals and American oystercatchers can be spotted here, along with a number of intertidal creatures. Underwater enthusiasts can dive from the shores of the park. Yes you can head out to Rogers reef by boat. Of course, you can still stay out of the strong currents that run through Gabriola Passage.

Bed and Breakfast on Silva Bay Taking Reservations

Reservation Request Form

Having just opened our Bed and Breakfast on Silva Bay July 5th we have had our first official paying customers. After six months of preparing it was exciting to open our doors. An interesting story is behind the first official stay…

It’s July 5th, 6 pm and hot. I’ve been landscaping and Melanie has been massaging clients. See pictures below. We decide to head down to the Fire Truck Grill, a food truck beside the water at Silva Bay. We arrive and find our friends who run another bed and breakfast having dinner. Because we’re finally ready to take reservations they mention their pretty full up. But would we want customers sent out way. Yes of course, send away!

So we’re home back when the phone starts ringing at 9pm. Kinda odd on small Gulf Island to have someone call you at that time of night. But we answer and it’s two lovely folks who have been directed our way by our friends. Their bed and breakfast location showed up on Google Maps. (Both our B and B’s are a 5 minute walk from the Silva Bay Marina). Ours didn’t because we are so new. They came in by boat and are stuck in Silva Bay for the night. Do we have a bed? Yes we do and it’s a king size bed . They walk over with their night bags. Love our BnB and stay an extra night. And so it began.

Things To at Our Bed and Breakfast on Gabriola Island

Gabriola is a charming island shaped by over 200 artists and artisans who call it home. Known as the “Isle of the Arts”, it’s a unique destination for those who appreciate artistry and craftsmanship and is just a short ferry ride away from Nanaimo.

Although its close location to Nanaimo may make it feel more commercial compared to other Gulf Islands, its art scene, impressive sights and fun activities make it worth visiting if you’re travelling around Vancouver Island. With Gabriola’s expanded ferry service, getting to the island is easier than ever and can be done as a day trip from Nanaimo.

Gabriola Island Bed and Breakfasts — A roomy room with a view!

Oh the View at Gabriola Bed And Breakfast

The view is quiet special as it not only looks directly out over Silva Bay but also looks across Law Point and Royal Vancouver Yacht Club on Tugboat Island. One could sit all day watching the tide go in and out. And when the wind blows be mesmerized by the ravens playing and riding the wind. The sunrises in fall through spring can be absolutely draw dropping. No filters needed to be spectacular. Of course the moon rises are incredible as well. Another highlight in the off season storm watching at Gabriola Bed and Breakfast as the pineapple expresses blow in from the south east.
