Important Warning for Travelers!

If you're planning a trip to Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal this Friday, reconsider your plans—especially if you lack a vehicle reservation. The West Vancouver Police Department is sending a clear message: Don’t show up without a booking!

Traffic Chaos: A Nightmare to Navigate!

Constable Duncan West of the West Vancouver Police reported that the situation has become dire. "BC Ferries has warned us to turn away drivers without reservations. The traffic jam stretches for kilometers, turning what should be a smooth trip into a frustrating parking lot!"

The congestion isn't just bad for those attempting to catch a ferry; it has effectively blocked access to Whistler, creating a major bottleneck on the highway.

Stranded Travelers Share Their Frustrations!

Drivers caught in the gridlock, like Sherry, are feeling the burn. After being turned around twice while trying to get a ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, she shared her exasperation: "We didn’t want to wait six hours just to find out if we could even get on a ferry!"

Even those with reservations are left stranded. Sherry encountered another traveler with a 7:30 am booking who was unable to reach the toll booth due to the overwhelming traffic.

Tsawwassen: The Safer Bet!

In contrast, Tsawwassen terminal remains unaffected by such severe issues. Travelers might consider switching their plans to avoid the chaos at Horseshoe Bay.
