Quadra Island is easy to reach, and the trip itself is straightforward and scenic. Access involves a short ferry crossing from Campbell River, with several travel options depending on whether you’re arriving by air, car, or bus.
The final step is a 10-minute ferry from Campbell River to Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island.
Sailings run frequently throughout the day (often about every 30 minutes, seasonally adjusted). Vehicles and walk-on passengers are both accommodated.
From the Quadra ferry terminal, Leecroft Haven is a short drive. There is no regular taxi service on the island.
Campbell River Shuttle provides pre-arranged shuttle service, including airport-to-ferry connections and, in summer months, limited service from the Quadra ferry toward the property. Custom arrangements may be possible with advance booking. A rental car offers the most flexibility on Quadra Island.
