PLANES, FERRIES, and AUTOMOBILES (+ beds)
The wedding will take place at Bodega Ridge resort at the north end of Galiano Island. The Bodega Ridge and Bodega Cove cabins are not available for booking. They are reserved for our immediate family and wedding parties. For those staying off-site, there will be shuttle bus options for guests who need a lift to and/or from the events (guests will be updated with information closer to the date).
Accommodations on Galiano Island are limited so we recommend booking as soon as possible. Below is a list of options but we encourage you to do your own search as well. If you don’t see your preferred dates, consider messaging the host anyway in case they have not opened up their calendars for summer 2023 yet. We also suggest expanding your search dates as some properties have 3-7 night minimums (some will make exceptions if you message them or agree to a higher rate).
Due to the limited venue capacity we have unfortunately reached our limit for children over 2 years old.
Getting to Galiano
BY BOAT
It is an ~ 1-hour ferry ride from Vancouver to Galiano Island (or similar from Victoria). Once you have your accommodations (and flights, if applicable) booked we recommend booking your ferry as soon as you can (definitely before June 2023 at latest). Galiano is 27.5 km long, to give you an idea of walkability. We strongly suggest bringing a car but if you do decide to walk on the ferry (reservation not required) please let us know so we can arrange to have you picked up at the Galiano ferry terminal. In addition, there are limited Smart Car and e-bike rentals at The Galiano Inn which is within walking distance of the ferry terminal.
When booking ferries look for the following route:
FROM: TSAWWASSEN FERRY TERMINAL (near YVR)
TO: STURDIES BAY, GALIANO ISLAND
BY PLANE
A great option if you decide not to drive!
SeaAir offers up to 8 scheduled flights daily from YVR or downtown Vancouver to the Gulf Islands. Please call SeaAir Seaplanes at 1-800-447-3247 as these routes are not bookable online.
