About the terminal

One of the Southern Gulf Islands berths reachable from both shores, this one lies 55 minutes and 11 nautical miles from Vancouver (Tsawwassen), or 70 minutes and 14 nautical miles from Victoria (Swartz Bay). That choice sets the Gulf Islands apart from the shuttle runs further north, where a terminal usually faces one shore only. The Swartz Bay leg is listed without a fare from this end. Neighbouring islands are near at hand, with Mayne's berth at Village Bay 4 km off and Pender's at Otter Bay 9 km, though crossing between them means catching the right boat.
