Hornby Island Outdoor Sports

Biking

See Hornby from the comfort of a bike. There are lots of great trails on the mountain to explore by bike (we're famous for them!). The riding is for all skill levels. We have everything from North Shore style sickness (well, one trail anyways) to smooth double track and everything in between. Hornby is a mountain biking mecca for the west coast, having clear and smooth trails for 95% of the year.

Hornby also has a well developed trail system that follows the road to most destinations. A few years ago some forward thinking locals decided that commuters and kids needed a way to ride without being right on the road. They've been working hard since then to make a trail system that follows the road and gets you safely to some of the most interesting parts of the island.

Kayaking

Hornby Island is one of the most spectacular and protected northern Gulf Islands on the west coast of Canada. Being situated in the calm protected waters of Georgia Strait between the mainland and Vancouver Island Hornby Island is an excellent place to experience Ocean Kayaking!

Depending on the time of year, you will see eagles, seals, sea lions, whales, interesting intertidal life and diverse bird species. We have been introducing people to ocean kayaking since 1986, and have been involved as professional wilderness guides since 1976. Our customers return from paddling relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated.

We would be happy to share our knowledge of Hornby Island. We paddle year round and encourage you to try ocean kayaking with us at any time of the year.

We are a mobile kayak service. For more information or to book your kayak or bike adventure, please call or email.
