Beautiful nature landscape view on a rocky shore during a sunny winter day. Picture taken in Hornby

My family went on vacation in the middle of August. Some people recommended Hornby Island. They said that Hornby Island was a little Hawaii. We didn’t know what to expect.

We had to change two ferries on our way there. It took less than 40 minutes to get back to the ferry, but we had to pay over $90. I booked an Airbnb before we left. I checked the location of the Airbnb using Google Maps before I left and found that it was located far away from the Island of Hornby and blamed myself. We headed there anyway. When we arrived there, we were a little disappointed because of the unclean sea water and high prices. It was not the small Hawaii that other people talked about.
