About Departure Bay Ferry Terminal
Departure Bay Ferry Terminal is on Nanaimo's north side, just off the Island Highway and a short drive from downtown Nanaimo. It handles the Horseshoe Bay crossing, the shortest driving connection between central Vancouver Island and downtown Vancouver.
Departure Bay is a commuter and weekend terminal more than a tourist one, so its busiest periods are Friday afternoons outbound and Sunday evenings returning. The cameras above show the approach and holding compound so you can judge the wait before leaving Nanaimo.
