Hiking and Bicycling Trails from the Inn

The Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa is the only resort in the Southern Gulf Island where guests can leave their cars behind, come by ferry as a foot passenger, walk to the Inn….and walk to many of the best parts of the island.

Starting from the gates of the Inn, guests can access a wonderful trail system and enjoy quiet country roads, parks, trails and beaches. With a little more time and effort (a bicycle or moped may assist), guests can also explore a little further: the beaches of Montague Provincial Park, Dionisio and Pebble Beach, among many.

Best Bicycle Routes from the Inn

Guests can easily walk to Galiano Bicycle (539-9906) to rent bicycles and venture further afield on Galiano. At the end of Madrona Drive, turn left and walk about 10 minutes to Burrill Road: the Rental shop is just to the left. It is best to call ahead and determine availability of the type of bicycle you are looking for: they have everything from mountain bikes to tandem bicycles.
