Ferry ride from Port Hardy to Bella Coola

Ghost Islands

The ferry to Bella Coola

Tuesday morning I borded the ferry in Port Hardy to arrive on early Wednesday morning in Bella Coola. The ferry was a very old vessel which speed was about 20km/h. That was the main reason why it took 21 hours for the 300km to Bella Coola. The weather on Tuesday morning was just terrible it was raining and foggy. That was very awful because this ferry route would be very scenic. But at least it cleared up a little bit in the afternoone so that we got a tiny little bit of sun. On early Wednesday morning when we were on the inlet leading to Bella Coola, the weather wasn't too bad and I finaly could take some beautiful pictures. At exactly 6.30a.m we were allowed to leave the ferry and after breakfast and groceryshopping I headed east direction Heckman Pass.
