The unofficial BC Travel & Tourism Guide
Nothing happens quickly, there is no rushing. Only helpful citizens, the peace and harmony of nature and the soft lullaby of the ocean shore. Gambier offers wilderness trails for hiking and sandy beaches for sun bathing in the summer and taking leisurely strolls. For the rainy evenings, as the island remains within the coastal rain forest region, a good book, warm linens and a hot cup of chocolate by the fireplace seem to shed all worries or discontent. Travelers seeking a break for the daily grind and who want to make peace with their life can escape to Gambier to gather thoughts, inspiration and a dose of healthy living.
Trying out kayaking, chartering a sail boat, or even watching from indoors a seasonal storm are very good ways of enjoying the pleasures of island life.
Many writers and artists make their homes on Gambier. Inspired by their natural surroundings, it is said to be more easily creative. Studios can be contacted upon arrival to schedule visits.
