Transport Mode: Ferry and Road

- Costs: Around 500 PLN for ferry (car + driver) and additional 150 PLN for any bus service (if required)

Pro Tip: Book your ferry tickets in advance, especially during peak seasons, to secure your spot and avoid long wait times.
For this journey, I recommend taking the scenic route via Highway 97 to Cache Creek and continuing to Hwy 1 toward Nanaimo. From Nanaimo, take a BC Ferries service to Departure Bay, then continue north towards Port Hardy. This combination of ferry and road travel will provide stunning views of British Columbia's landscapes.
