Aka Surrey by the sea". Bad joke

I have been going there for over 20 years. I adore it.

Travel time listed doesn't mention the potential for 5 hour waits at each ferry.

I appreciated the effort and professionalism here. I also liked the respect for the viewer's time, by editing content and keeping things focussed on delivering content. Well done!

Wow, thank you so much for the info.....Lovely beaches, and an enchanted getaway....Definately i will add it to my wishlist!

Thanks, it’s so helpful and clear. Very informative.

Wow this is fantastic travel..You guys have a super detailed where we found the answer. More adventures to come and we are excited to see that. This super help

Thank you! You made a really caring movie.

Guys thanks for sharing this video, I'm from the mainland and I already heard this place, I didn't realized it's beautiful...I might check this out sometime this year...good luck to your channel...I hope you get more viewers and subscribers... More power.

Great. Thanks for sharing.

Great and informative video.

This used to be named after my ancestor. Picture as soon as pull up the Wikipedia article. It's an environmental diversity paradise in one small island. It also was a Vietnam War draft dodger haven. That's what part of the local population. It's becoming expensive "elites", but was a bohemian artistic place.

thank you for this! heading there in a couple of weeks I can’t wait!

@@RyanLogan01 No. The entire Vancouver island and regions are full of mosquitoes, the locals are unfriendly, the ferry line ups take for hours, we have rain 11 1/2 months of the year. With the extremely high temperatures we've just had trees are falling all over the place and it is unsafe to camp, our bears are stressed and attacking people, cougars too. And some campsites are over run with rats and mice. Strathcona park for example. Then there are the extremely high costs of hotel rooms and if you decide to stay, rents, if you can even find a place, are sky high. Therefore we have an enormous homeless population and the shelters are miserable so people prefer to sleep in the streets . Best to visit somewhere other than Vancouver Island and nearby smaller islands.

Alex and MJ! Thanks so much for your beautifully filmed and informative video. Question, where on Hornby Island did you guys go diving? I would love to go for a quick dive as I have never done it, but seems like the only place that offers diving is Hornby Island Diving which offers a package of diving, lodging, and food. I'm only looking to dive so I would love it if you could give me some recommendations!

It’s so beautiful! My family used to go every summer

I really wish we could leave tourism videos like this to locals. I like frogs but the four-legged type, only please.

NYE-NAMO

Look up the pronunciation o& Nanaimo

Tourism is a massive problem for those of us that live here. The ferrys don't have the capacity, resulting in long (3-5hour) wait times spring, summer and fall. The islands don't have the infastructure in place to handle the amount of tourists that already come. (Good luck actually finding camping if you didn't book months in advance) The locals are being forced to move away due to complete lack of housing. It's a special place but this sort of unsolicited promotion is harmfully impactful.

Exactamundo. As locals from Vic, we had to wait hours- many ferries to get to our camping spot on Hornby because people ignored the closed country and provincial border mandates. We waited behind people from New York, Ohio, Idaho, tons from Washington and Oregon and even a Hawaiian car. Then there were tons from Alta and Sask and Ontario. (One Oregonian nurse even had the gall to talk about covid safety as she stood there maskless and illegally visiting.) Half a day was gone before we arrived around dinner time only to discover a vastly over used, dirty and no privacy campsite with a crabby owner who treated people as if she were a retired school teacher. Boy did their website mislead. Dirt and cigarette butts and hardly any grass, and trees stripped of bark or even dead - it looked like an abandoned encampment. I guess that woman had reason to be crabby. Too much business was ruining her campground? Close to a lovely harbour but so what? We had to scramble to find a better spot. Thankfully people had an overflow spot for us closer to the ferry. Unfortunately it then poured like a monsoon one night and we were ankle deep in mud until we got to one of their higher spots. Then it was nice. I get being a tourist and wanting to see the world. I just hosted someone like that. But if there are border closures, respect them. We residents are fed up. The least the ferries could do is put locals on first, then other BC plates, then the others. Or during border closures simply not let outsiders get to the gulf islands period. I'd vote for that. Making sure to exclude rental cars.

How about we invade and do wtv the we want like us mainlanders have always done.Tourism is a big incentive for you locals,we pour in our money and you get to have all the benefits.You just have to deal with excitement and friendliness when you're around us,no harm done.

PLEASE stop pronouncing it "Na-nee-mo"... It's "Na-nai-mo"!!!

I see you used a done to photograph Helliwell and Tribune Bay. Both are BC Provincial Parks - it is illegal to use drones in the parks, as well as noisy and rude. The dive shop on Hornby is closed. It is illegal to dive with the sea lions or approach them on land. You might tell your "followers" that a trip from Buckley Bay to Hornby in the summer can be about 4 or sometimes 5 hours in each direction due to ferry congestion. The last ferry leaves Hornby at 6 pm. There is no allowed "random camping" anywhere. Sorry to be unfriendly, but videos like this are the cause of serious degradation of our tiny island and it's fragile nature. There is no source of water other than rain in the winter. Septic systems are susceptible to overuse.
