BC Ferries provides ferry services between the lower mainland of
British Columbia and the coastal islands. Victoria, the capital of
British Columbia, is situated on the southern tip of Vancouver Island.
The ferry terminal for Victoria is located at Tsawwassen, directly south
of Vancouver. Ferries run hourly during the summer months and
every second hour during the remainder of the year.
The other major destination on Vancouver Island is Nanaimo.
Ferries run from Tsawwassen and from Horseshoe Bay to the Nanaimo area.
There are many smaller ferry boats that run from Tsawwassen to the Gulf
Island and from Horseshoe Bay to the Sunshine Coast.
