If you wanna explore Vancouver Island or some of the smaller islands around Vancouver then head to Horseshoe Bay on the North shore.
To take you car to Vancouver Island it costs approximately $50 plus $8 per person. Leave a Comment

I would highly recommend taking the British Columbia Ferry Service. It is one of the nicest ferry services I have ever seen. It was an awesome ride. We had the chance to see the sunset over the ocean... simply beautiful. Make sure you have a jacket, it got quite cold. Leave a Comment

Vancouver is surrounded by a number of different islands that are linked to gether by a ferry system. Taking your car to the various islands is expensive but possible. You can even reserve a spot in advance. This is a small ferry to one of the smaller islands (Bowen). The tourists love taking the ferries because it affords you an excellent view of the islands and sealife as you travel.
Here is a link with ferry routes, schedules and prices:

Ok, so your probably going to want to get out to one of the Gulf Island - there's several different departure points but the 2 most popular ones are Horseshoe Bay and Tsawwassen. Our ferries can ship cars as well as foot passengers but they do tend to get busy on the weekends (especially holiday ones ~ so book in advance 1-888-724-5223 ) To get to Horseshoe Bay, you want to get downtown and then cross Lions Gate, once across stay in the left lane and follow the hair pin. At the first major intersection make a right, you'll be on Taylor Way. Follow TW up the hill for a while till you see a sign for Whistler / Horseshoe Bay etc. Stay on the upper levels highway till you see signs for HB, take the exit !! (it's well marked so don't worry) To get to Tsawwassen take highway 99 (accessible from Oak Street) and once your past the tunnel start looking out for signs that say Tsawwassen / Ferries ~ 10-15 after tunnel ( not too long ). I'm not quite as familiar with the Tsawwassen terminal, sooooo ---->www.bcferries.com Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

After arriving at Campbell River on Vancouver island you must take a five minute ferry ride to Quadra and then drive to the ferry terminal that then goes to Cortes, This is a 45 minute ferry ride. The few on the ferries are very beautful thought.
The community on Cortes Island is very friendly and one of the many methods of transporrtation is Hitch Hiking. Unfortunately things on the island tend to be very spread out, so not everything is in walking distance, but all the wide open space is one of Cortes Islands many draws.

You are correct it will be rushed, but I have no choice.
I have a question on the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. What does cost to take the car and 2 passengers across? How early do we have to get to the dock? Leave a Comment

I offer you a suggestion, one that solves your transportation problem, but also will give you an unforgetable experience. Take the sea plane from downtown Victoria to downtown Vancouver, or vice versa.

You are already taking a ferry from Seattle to Victoria, so a second ferry trip won't offer anything new. If you calculate the costs and time involved for 4 people on the ferry versus a float plane, you should seriously consider it. The float plane terminal is right in downtown vancouver so depending on which hotel you are staying at you may be even be able to walk to it, or at the very least a short cab ride (ALMOST door to door service).
