Can I take a bicycle on Tsawwassen–Village Bay?

Yes, on the published Tsawwassen to Village Bay sailing. BC Ferries carries the bicycle free with your passenger fare.

Will every Tsawwassen–Village Bay sailing use the same stops?

No. Village Bay may be one call in a longer Southern Gulf Islands run. Read every call on the dated Tsawwassen–Village Bay sailing before promising a pickup or connection at Village Bay.

What should I arrange before reaching Village Bay (Mayne Island)?

Village Bay needs a real Mayne Island arrival plan. Its twelve outside-terminal spaces carry a 48-hour maximum, so confirm a pickup or current local transport rather than improvising after docking.
