Once you’re off the ferry or seaplane
Your Retreat package includes a complimentary pick-up/drop-off service for walk-on ferry passengers between Stowel Lake and Fulford Harbour and Sea Plane passengers at Ganges on the retreat start and end dates.
If you arrive by ferry at Long Harbour or Vesuvius, we will do our best to accommodate pick-up/drop-off, but cannot guarantee it.
If you have your own vehicle, you are welcome to drive and park on-site at Stowel Lake Farm for the duration of your stay.
