The Sunshine Coast Connector is a local bus service, which can drop you off right at our doorstep. Please note that due to our pretty remote location, make sure to pack everything you need if you decide to travel via bus. The bus route is very convenient to bring you to Ruby Lake and back to Vancouver, but it is not a commuting route to visit nearby sightseeing or access shops/restaurants/cafes etc. You can board the bus from Vancouver, the Langdale Ferry Terminal, Gibsons, Sechelt, Madeira Park, Earls Cove, Powell River – or anywhere in between! Check their website for current schedules!
From Victoria, Vancouver and Nanaimo, you can catch a seaplane, a regular plane, or even a helicopter to the Sunshine Coast.
Ask about regular and charter float plane service to Ruby Lake from Vancouver. They will take you directly to our private dock!
Both Sunshine Coast Air (250.591.1810) & Harbour Air (1.800.665.0212) offer chartered flights directly to Ruby Lake Resort.
