relaxing on the ferry

From Vancouver: Take the Langdale ferry from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver — see www.bcferries.com or telephone 1-888-223-3779 for schedule and fares. Fare is round-trip. Note: Credit cards and cash accepted at terminal and on board, no Interac. ATMs available at terminal and on board.

The ferry ride is very scenic with views of Bowen Island, Gambier Island and the coastal mountains. The ship is a large "C class" vessel with a full service cafeteria, gift shop, snack bar. Capacity 362 vehicles, 1500 passengers and crew. Bring your car on the ferry, or walk aboard and take transit between Langdale and Gibsons Landing.

Travel by Air

Sea-planes fly regularly between Sechelt and Vancouver, Richmond and Vancouver Island. If you're coming from Vancouver Island, this is economical and very quick, cutting about 6 hours from your travel time each way. www.harbourair.com
