We love dogs. Please ensure your dogs are leashed, under control and well behaved. Dogs may not occupy a passenger seat. Please use judgement if you have a large dog as it must remain calm at your feet.

BC Ferries also provides service between the islands. In this way, you have the opportunity to combine travel on Tour des Iles and BC Ferries boats.

Please note that BC Ferries may change their schedules at any time, so we advise confirming ferry schedules on the BC Ferries website.

The ferries can be very busy during summer weekends, so we suggest making reservations to get to the Southern Gulf Islands (where possible).
