    Taking a ferry

    Posted by Stephenrees 28 May 2007

    The Observer picked this place as top of its list of places still peopled by hippies (which should come as a relief for those who live on the Sunshine Coast) but only listed float planes as a way to get there. Which is fast and fun but not very environmentally friendly. Slower and gentler for all concerned is the BC Ferry service. It is also considerably cheaper: note that there is not a direct service from Vancouver - change at Swartz Bay from the ferry from Tsawassen.
