Getting HereLocation and getting here….Located half way between the mainland and Vancouver Island, Mayne Island is easily reached via BC Ferries from the Tsawwassen terminal on the mainland or from Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island. Travelers can arrive by car, bicycle or as a foot passenger. These ferries are large and provide meals within their cafeteria. From the ferry terminal at Village Bay, it is about a 25-minute walk to Miners Bay. If traveling by car, reservations are recommended in the summer as sometime the ferries are booked to capacity. Make sure you clearly indicate your destination as “Village Bay, Mayne Island, as other ferries travel to different islands. There are only two sailings per day, one in the morning, and the other in the evening. Please call BC Ferries at (888) 223-3779 for reservations or more information visit their web site at http://www.bcferries.com/schedules/southern/
