Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay transfers
Private Abbotsford ferry transportation for walk-on passengers, families and groups travelling to Tsawwassen or Horseshoe Bay with luggage-appropriate sedans, SUVs and Mercedes Sprinter vans.
Choose the correct terminal
BC Ferries operates different routes from each terminal. Confirm the terminal shown on the reservation before arranging pickup, because the two locations require very different road routes.
Commonly used for sailings to Swartz Bay near Victoria, Duke Point near Nanaimo and several Gulf Island routes. For Abbotsford travellers, Tsawwassen is commonly reached via Highway 1 and the South Fraser route; allow additional time for Lower Mainland traffic and the terminal check-in requirement.
Plan a Tsawwassen transferCommonly used for Departure Bay in Nanaimo, Langdale on the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island. Travel planning should account for North Shore and Highway 1 traffic.
Plan a Horseshoe Bay transferTravel sequence
