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