Gabriola Island 2025

To kick off the summer (and celebrate Astrid’s birthday), we spent a week vacationing on Gabriola Island with Emily’s extended family.

We spent one day kayaking around the smaller islands off Silva Bay, with Astrid navigating.

We saw seals, oystercatchers, starfish, and sea snakes.

We stopped on two public islands to walk around (Carlos and Saturnina). The water was clear and warm and beautiful for swimming – it almost looked we were in the Caribbean.

Gabriola is famous for its sandstone shoreline and the cool formations that have formed.

Astrid and her cousins had lots of fun at the big house we rented, with many epic rounds of hide-and-go-seek. There were all kinds of board games and backyard games (like kubb) to try.

But we mostly just relaxed and enjoyed the beaches and the beautiful weather.

A phone pic from a walk we took a couple of weeks ago. The colour on this hillside at Descanso Bay park was a delight after the greys of winter. #mosstodon #GabriolaIsland #nature #iphoneography

Just heard about #Mosstodon so here's a contribution to it - a tiny scene from the woods at our place on #GabriolaIsland #BC. We have masses of #moss, which I love and often photograph - I'm happy to hear so many others are fans as well.
