Finding us...

By Car or RV

We're located on the western side of Cortes Island, in the Discovery Island group, nestled between the east coast of Vancouver Island and British Columbia's famous Desolation Sound Marine Park. Driving from Vancouver, take the Horseshoe Bay ferry to Nanaimo and continue north up the TransCanada Highway #1 to Campbell River. From Victoria, take the TransCanada Highway north to Campbell River, an approximate 3 hour drive. Hourly BC Ferry service connects Campbell River to Quadra island via the M/V Powell River Queen. Cross Quadra Island to gorgeous Herriot Bay, where six scenic sailings of the M/V Tenaka connect Quadra Island to Cortes. Gorge Harbour Marina Resort is 2 kilometres from the ferry dock along paved roads. Follow the road signs.
