About the terminal
Ten minutes and under two nautical miles of Discovery Passage make this the shortest crossing BC Ferries works in this timetable, and the busiest of the lot. It functions as a stretch of road more than a voyage: Campbell River sits two kilometres off, and this is how Quadra Island reaches the town. Payment is taken on the Campbell River side, and the crossing the other way is unpriced. Quadra's second terminal, Heriot Bay, is seven kilometres east across the island and serves Cortes.
