The ferry takes 40 minutes from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. The crossing is very scenic — you could even see whales! We recommend you walk onto the ferry. You do not need to book the ferry in advance if you are walking on. If you wish to drive onto the Langdale Ferry, you can park at Camp Elphinstone. We recommend making a ferry reservation (https://www.bcferries.com/book-sailings) if you plan to drive.
