From Duke Point to Tsawwassen (or the other way around), a connection that sails multiple times per day. The ferry ride takes about 2 hours, and there are a few things you must know.Β We listed them below.
The Duke Point Tsawwassen ferry connection
The Duke Point Ferry Terminal is 12 km south of downtown Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. It provides a ferry service across the Strait of Georgia to Tsawwassen. The Tsawwassen ferry terminal is about 30 minutes away from the city centre of Vancouver. A big competitor of this route is the route from Departure Bay to the north of Vancouver.
The duration of the ferry ride from Duke Point to Tsawwassen is approximately 2 hours. Once youβre on board, you can enjoy food and drinks but keep in mind that they are pretty pricey, it might even be better to bring your own food along. For this connection, the main takeaway based on my own experiences is to be on time. Don't be late at the terminal if you are traveling in a car.
The Jack Point and Biggs park
Near the harbor at the Duke Point terminal you got the Jack Point and Biggs park. The parkβs trail offers access to unspoiled beaches with breathtaking views of the Nanaimo River estuary, downtown Nanaimo, Protection Island and Gabriola Island. It is a popular spot for observing wildlife; bald eagles, sea-lions, seals and even harbour porpoises can be seen from the park. Jack Point is an incredible location to witness the sunset.
Tsawwassen to Duke Point price and fare
The price range for this ferry is from $19 to $63 for a single trip. If you add a car for your trip it's all a lot more expensive compared to passenger tickets. The prices for this ferry are exactly the same as the other connection from Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen.
