Travel Note
IMPORTANT: Book Your Ferry in Advance
The Sunshine Coast is *only* accessible via ferry ride. We imagine most of our guests will be travelling from Metro Vancouver, and therefore will be getting on the ferry at the BC Ferries Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. We *highly recommend* you book your return ferry crossing *in advance* from Horseshoe Bay to the Langdale Ferry Terminal on the Sunshine Coast. The ferry can get extremely busy, especially on weekends and holidays, and without an advanced reservation you might not make it onto the sailing you're hoping for. At the time of writing, there were nine sailing times available on Friday, October 7 and Saturday, October 8, the first departure at 7:30am and the last departure at 10:55pm. Be sure not to miss the last ferry or you'll be sleeping with the fishes! Book your ferry through the link below and reach out to us if you have any further questions.

Aren't Able to Rent a Car?
Although the easiest, most reliable, and least time consuming option for getting to and travelling around on the Sunshine Coast is by car, there are other travel options! Carpool with other guest(s): When you RSVP for the ceremony, please indicate whether you're looking for someone to carpool with and we'll match you up and put you in contact with guests who are offering rides for the weekend. Take public transit: It's entirely possible to get to Roberts Creek from either the YVR or YXX airports - just make sure to plan in advance and be prepared for it to take some time! Use Google Maps or a similar tool to get public transit routes to your destinations.
