★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A two-mile walk around the point at Helliwell Provincial Park is food for the soul. Don't miss it, if possible. It's an easy walk that wends its way through different microenvironments characteristic of Hornby Island. Even the sluggish of body and diffident of patience will find reason to stroll happily -- and perhaps contemplatively -- here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ a great place for a casual hike
a well-maintained and very clearly marked trail takes you through the forest and along the cliff walls - very nice to take in the scenery (recommended to go clockwise for a nicer stroll)
regular shoes should be fine, it’s not a strenuous walk

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highlight of our trip to Hornby! This is a MUST SEE! Easy walk through the park but the views are breathtaking! It was a lot of reward for not a lot of work. We had adults, older kids (9-11) and younger ones (5/6) and everyone loved it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great 5km hike. Saw a bunch of ppl swimming off the cliffs, it looks super peaceful, very different from the rest of the island, mostly surrounded by yellow grass and the ocean. Not that much shade so bring a hat. Great views.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It takes approximately 90 minutes to walk the circuit through the woods and then along the cliffs overlooking the ocean, other islands and mainland although if you stop as often as we did to take photos it may take longer. The walk is not difficult although there are some areas where erosion has worn away the surface of the path making it rocky. There are steep cliffs with dangerous drop off areas so parents need to carefully supervise children as well as ensuring that they stay on the marked path. At spots you may see wildlife in the water or on the rocks (we saw sea lions and humpback whales blowing in the distance towards Texada Island). Visitors are asked to stay on the path to protect the fragile ecosystem. There is an outhouse style washroom in the parking lot as well as part way along the walk. The views from the cliffs are spectacular and the trees on top of the ridges are a photographer's dream thanks to their wind carved, trunks and branches. This is a truly wonderful place to go to appreciate the beauty of coastal BC.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited this park after a huge snowstorm. The Sequoias are breathtakingly beautiful, and there are some large trees in this forest. Beautiful beaches with lots of nice rocks and shells.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a very small but awe-some park with varying views along an easy hike (accessible for almost all levels of physical ability). It had great beach views, trees and a cliffside walking trail. We even saw some seals while walking along the beach on the Northeast corner of the park.
