Taxis are not typically waiting at the seaplane base. It is essential to pre-book a ride with a local company serving the Cowichan Valley, such as Cowichan Valley Taxi or Duncan Taxi.
There are no on-site car rental agencies. The nearest rental locations for major companies like Enterprise and Budget are in the nearby city of Duncan, a 10-15 minute drive away. You must arrange transportation to the rental office.
The Cowichan Valley Regional Transit System (BC Transit) serves the area. Route 6 (Crofton/Maple Bay) has a bus stop within walking distance of the seaplane dock. Service can be infrequent, so checking the latest schedule is highly recommended.
