BC Ferries
BC Ferries as two mainland ferry terminals, Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay, which provide transportation to Vancouver Island, the Gulf Island and the Sunshine Coast.
Tsawwassen is approximately 45 minutes from downtown Vancouver and Horseshoe Bay takes about the same amount of tim, but is north of Vancouver.
Schedules are always changing depending on the season, and some routes can get extremely busy, especially during the summer months.
Ferries usually run every 1 to 2 hours depending on the route.
For current schedule information and fares it is best to check out their web site at www.bcferries.bc.ca
I highly recommend making reservations on the more popular routes during the summer months, especially on long weekends. It costs a bit more, but is well worth it!
I have spend many hours in long, hot line-ups wishing I had done the same. It is not uncommon to have to wait one or two sailing to catch your ferry during during these busy times.
