Île Hornby - Comox Valley, Colombie-Britannique

Une île hors du commun au Canada... ''fondé' par des gens des États-Unis fuyant la conscription (service obligatoire) de la guerre du Vietnam, cette île est vraiment Peace and Love...

Au-delà des paysages, c'est surtout la gentillesse des habitants qui se démarquent d'ailleurs au Canada...

Les gens sont gentils, accueillant, généreux... respectueux de l'environnement...

C'est vraiment une île presque magique qui mérite d'être découverte et redécouverte...

A noter que lors des périodes l'île est fréquentée par les vacanciers...
Si vous cherchez le calme, il est préférable d'y aller ''Hors saison'' mais même en période de pointe, vous y ferrez sans doute d'heureuses rencontres...
C'est l'un des rares endroits au Canada où peut y faire tant d'agréables rencontres et y trouver une foules de surprises...

Surprenante!
L'Esprit Peace and Love y vogue toujours...

Great island, with a thriving summer community, good food, beautiful beaches and great trails for hiking and biking. This year they also added a free bus in the summer!

The thing that sucks is the cost of the ferry - $20 + approx $10 per human for a ten minute ride. Honestly it makes no sense.

Recommend: Vorizo Cafe, Mt Geoffrey, the Escarpment trail and Helliwell park. Tribune is also awesome but I know everyone will be going there anyways! On that, we found quieter beach spots on the right side which you can get to via a side road.

Been here twice in the last few years, and it's a must visit. Great hikes, vistas, sea life, rock formation, and a laid back atmosphere. Visit Mountain Meadery for an experience in honey base wines, or Heliwell Park for sea lions and sea bird views 'extraordinaire'. Plan at least three days, although we've done it in one and a half. Denman Island (on the way over) also worth the visit .

So beautiful! It's definitely worth a day trip 😁

One of the most beautiful islands in British Columbia. It can be expensive to get to as it is 3 ferries from Vancouver. The one nice thing is because it is so many ferries you spend less time driving than going to other destinations.

This place is paradise!! The beaches are beautiful, not only the sandy ones!! It is bike friendly, with a large area for mountain biking. Book ahead if you want to go though, it is extremely busy in the summer time. There are two actual campgrounds, and a lot of rental houses. You can also get away with just sleeping on the beach for a night or two.

Beautiful place to come and relax on the weekend.
