We missed a sailing because the captain said the tide was too low to load our RV. We appreciated not bottoming out on the ramp! The coffee kiosk has delicious coffee mochas! Enjoy Island Time!
Small ferry service but well managed line, plenty of staff to answer questions. You typically line up on the hill outside the terminal for the next ferry but they have staff there too. Coffee kiosk at the terminal is a lifesaver at times but there is regularly a line up. Tip: the supermarket in the row of shops also serves regular coffee - you just have to ask at the deli.
Parked 1 hour before leaving.already in the 4th lineup. Told always at least 1 hr wait. Should have another ferry running to elevate lineups. Went to visit family 2nts. They wait for hours both sides to cross. Usually walk on. Don't need a car actually will walk from now on. Be prepared long weekends and summer. Sooooo many RVs and campers take spaces too. Bring drinks and food.not much selection on quadra side waiting. There are washrooms.
Nice clean ferry terminal. They have indoor space for foot passengers to wait or have a nice walk around. Nice clean bathroom with wheelchair access. Friendly staffs too. Everyone is wearing mask and practicing social distancing.
The Queen of Powell River chugs across the channel between Campbell River and Quathiaski Cove in about 12 minutes. Half the time is spent manoeuvring in and out of the ferry terminals, especially at Q Cove, where the ferry has to go around a bend and then inch her way towards the landing stage. There is a small harbour here with a few fishing vessels. There is a place serving coffee and snacks and another serving ice cream.
