Heads Up
- 1. Pre-book BC Ferries for the Comox-Powell River and Sunshine Coast routes to avoid long sailing waits.
- 2. Check local trail conditions at Strathcona Provincial Park as snow can persist in higher elevations until June.
- 3. Ensure your rental agreement allows for ferry travel between the mainland and Vancouver Island.
