# Maligne Lake: Declared the “Best Boat Cruise in Canada” by 8 million Reader’s Digest subscribers, the Maligne Lake Cruise is an experience like no other. Join us on a panoramic tour across the crystal waters of magical Maligne Lake, fed by the glaciers of Jasper National Park. Glide past the jagged mountain peaks as we cruise to Spirit Island, a world-famous destination only accessible by boat.

# Hornby Island: The Comox Bookmobile served Hornby Island until a library branch opened in 1987. The branch moved in 1990 to its current location at the New Horizons Centre. The branch was renovated in the fall of 2016

# Pearl vision: Artist and explorer Mary Schaffer was the first European to see Maligne Lake in 1908. Although she never mentioned the island, but she called the box canyon where it sits “the Hall of Gods”. In comparing it to another place she knew well, she said “If Lake Louise is a pearl, Maligne is the entire pearl necklace.”

# Boats Only: Access to the island is extremely limited due to its geography. It's in on a remote shore in a cold lake surrounded by high peaks and glacier, 14 km from the docks at Home Bay. It's hard to get to—paddling on your own can take four hours each way! To get the most time around the island, join our Premium Cruise which has an extended stay on the island.
