Sightseeing

Hornby Island is known for its turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and dramatic coastal scenery that feels more tropical than the West Coast. Reached by two short ferries via Denman Island, Hornby offers iconic stops like Helliwell Provincial Park, Tribune Bay, and Little Tribune Bay, along with sandstone formations, tidal pools, and quiet forest paths. It’s an island made for slow travel—perfect for beach days, cliff walks, swimming, and disconnecting from everything else.

Please bring your own water as the supply is limited.
