Reservations are presently required due to COVID protocols. Non-refundable deposits of $10.00 for private vehicles, $5.00 for walk-on passengers and $25.00 for commercial vehicles are required for each reservation.

We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express in Canadian currency.
When booking reservations please note that the availability shown is "lane length", not the number of vehicle spaces. This is to allow for a more accurate tracking of vehicle space occupied and remaining. i.e., If you have a vehicle that is 40 ft long and the availability shows 20 the vehicle cannot be booked. Also, please note that you have to choose the height for a regular passenger vehicle - Low or High (Over 2.4 meters/7ft 8in). If you arrive at the terminal and the vehicle is not as booked, the reservation will be null and void.
When you book on-line there are steps you MUST follow to ensure your reservation(s) are complete. Please review your reservation details on the checkout screen. The status will show as "PENDING".

Delay Policy
The following outlines the procedures followed in the event of departure delays/cancellations.
Once a departure has been missed it remains the active departure until 1 hour prior to the next departure at which time that departure becomes active. For example, a departure scheduled for 8:00 AM is delayed and there is another scheduled for 1:00 PM. At 12:00 noon reservations on the 1:00 PM are priority; reservations on the 8:00 AM are next in line; non reserved passengers are handled (based on numbers issued at the ticket office) after ALL reserved traffic has been accommodated. This process is followed throughout the delay period.
Once a departure has been cancelled reservation deposits will no longer be applied upon check in; those deposits will be refunded from the Reservation Office. The reservation list will still be honored as per this procedure however the cost of the ticket will be full fare.
Reservations for the current departure have first priority.
In the event of multiple cancellations the second priority would be the first cancelled departure, then the second, etc. This is followed until all reserved traffic is accommodated. This procedure ensures that customers who have been waiting longest are accommodated first after the current departure reservations. Last priority is any non-reserved traffic. This is handled in order of check-in based on numbers issued at the terminal.
Customers are advised to maintain contact with ticket offices when there are delays to scheduled departures, the Qajaq W will be operating on a "Load and Go" basis and there will be very little, if any, notice given. Check in time for all departures is 1 hour prior to the information posted. Once loading is complete the vessel will depart. The ONLY exception will be an emergency, i.e. medical as confirmed by a hospital/clinic.
If you need clarification of this policy please feel free to contact Dave Leyden, Operations Manager at 709 535 3351 or by email at [email protected]
