Parc provincial Helliwell
Located on Hornby Island, a few minutes from Vancouver Island, Helliwell Provincial Park will appeal to water sports and hiking enthusiasts. It's also a great place to scuba dive, explore marine wildlife and observe giant Douglas fir trees.
The best time to visit the park is between late April and early May, when the wildflowers show their colors.
The island is accessible by ferry. Parking and restrooms are available, but it is not possible to camp on site. Dogs on a leash are allowed.
