Galiano Island does not have a public transport system but a shuttle bus service is listed under Services. Fires are banned April 15 - October 15. The forest is tinder dry in summer and early fall and water levels are often critically low. Do not smoke in the forest and on the trails. It places the Island and you in danger.
Roads are narrow and winding, with no sidewalks.
Use caution and keep to the right. There are no trailer or RV hookups. Galiano is home to many rare plants, trees, wildflowers and mosses, so please respect the fragile beauty of the island. Galiano has no municipal or community garbage dump. Local residents must haul garbage from the Island themselves or use the services of private local contractors.
