About this crossing

Drivers can reach the Sunshine Coast only by car ferry, and this crossing of the Strait of Georgia is the way in from Vancouver Island; from Vancouver the equivalent is Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. Unlike the short island runs nearby, it takes bookings. Booked vehicles and foot-passenger groups must check in between 90 and 30 minutes before sailing; turn up outside that window and the booking lapses, leaving you with the unbooked queue. Little River terminal lies about ten minutes' drive north of Comox, and its metered car park is run by Robbins Parking. Our guide to reservations, fares and check-in covers booking in more detail.
