BC Ferries is an institution, and a strong component of our highways system. One of the largest ferry operators in the world, BC Ferries provides year-round vehicle and passenger service on 25 routes to 47 terminals, with a fleet of 35 vessels. They are an essential transportation link that connects coastal communities and facilitates the movement of people, goods and services.
But taking the ferry is more than a mode of transportation, it's an experience - which many visitors liken to "an affordable cruise"; a chance to sit back and relax on the way to your ultimate destination.

Circle Tour/Driving Route: Revelstoke Motorcycle Tour
|
 There's nothing like the call of the open road come springtime. It's time to dust off the bike and explore what the Kootenay Rockies region has to offer via Revelstoke, BC, a mountain community away from the crowds.
Revelstoke is a hub on the Trans-Canada Highway just 6 hours (565 km) north of Vancouver, nestled between the Selkirk and Monashee Mountain ranges. This is one of the only towns where you can view a glacier (Mount Begbie) right from downtown; and it's fast becoming recognized as a hub for great bike adventures.
