Travel Note
Make sure to make a ferry reservation for you vehicles and all people in your party via the BC Ferries website! Sailings book up fast and without a reservation you will risk waiting hours in line for a sailing. Book as early as possible (ASAP - at least 1-2 months in advance). We strongly recommend coming over on the ferry on Friday. Ferries can be unreliable and can cancel bookings last minute. Coming Friday will avoid stress of missing Saturday's events due to a delayed or cancelled ferry. Ferry details: Those traveling from Seattle or Vancouver you have two options for ferries. For those coming from Seattle, we recommend taking the Tsawwassen ferry out of Vancouver as it is closer to the border and avoids driving through the city. Those coming from Vancouver, the Horseshoe Bay terminal is closer to the city center and takes you closer to Quin's family's property. Option 1: Vancouver (Tsawwassen) to Nanaimo (Duke Point) Option 2: Vancouver (Horseshoe Bay) to Nanaimo (Departure Bay).
