Using VanIsleLocal in Hornby Island

Hornby Island is a northern Gulf Island reached by two ferry crossings from the Comox Valley, via Denman Island. It has a strong summer visitor season, an arts and food community, accommodation and a small resident trades base, and the double crossing affects both availability and cost of off-island services.

  • Plan around two sailings in each direction, and confirm hours and availability before travelling in shoulder season.
  • Ask off-island providers how the double crossing is scheduled and charged.
  • Book accommodation and services well ahead in summer, when demand is concentrated.

How do I reach Hornby Island?

Take the BC Ferries sailing from Buckley Bay to Denman Island, cross Denman by road, then take the second sailing to Hornby. Confirm both schedules with BC Ferries.

Why do Hornby Island service calls cost more?

Two ferry crossings and a road transit add travel time for any provider coming from Vancouver Island, and that time is normally reflected in scheduling and price.
