The Sunshine Coast is only 1.5 hours away from downtown Vancouver. It is a beautiful area in a more rural setting with wonderful hikes, kayaking, cross country skiing, and mountain biking.
I am offering a series of guided tours, hikes, a visit to see the salmon spawning in the autumn, a Fiber Art Workshop and lots more. Keep watching this blog!
To Get to Gibsons From Downtown Vancouver:
Take the 257 Express Bus. It departs from Hamilton and Dunsmuir in front of VCC College (an 8 minute walk from OHC) and only stops about twice en route to the Horseshoe Bay Ferry. It's about a 45 minute trip from downtown Vancouver to the ferry terminal in Horseshoe Bay, North Vancouver.
When you get to the ferry terminal, be sure to ask for a ticket to Langdale at the ticket booth (it costs about $15.65 return). There are several waiting rooms, make sure you are in the correct waiting room to board the ferry to Langdale. (Ask anyone!) You board the large ferry from the waiting room. It is a 40 minute scenic trip with a restaurant, viewing gallery outside, and gift shop inside.
Go down to the lowest car deck to get off the ferry. Many people will be waiting there and you walk off before the cars. I will meet you as you walk off. My cell phone number is 604 989 8640.
We will then get into my car and begin our adventure. If we have more people attending we will have extra transportation.
Please reserve ahead, email me at
eviblueth@gmail.com
or
604 886 8097 - cell 604 989 8640
You can pay ahead by mastercard,visa, paypal or cash.
I look forward to showing you our amazing rainforest and the "road less traveled". It will be a great way to practice English while taking in the soothing
aspects of nature and mild exercise.
