About the terminal

Half an hour out from Chemainus, this is one of two island landings worked from the same Vancouver Island terminal. Thetis Island lies about two kilometres away and shares that service, so a departure listed for Chemainus is not necessarily one for the island you want. Telegraph Harbour is Penelakut Island's only link in these pages. A ticket bought at Chemainus covers the return, which is why the leg off the island carries no fare of its own.
