Rideshare

Whenever possible we try to combine trips to Mansons Landing in order to provide the most economical fare to our passengers. After booking a boat we encourage you to post your booking on the Hollyhock “Rideshare” so other guests can see what has been booked and possibly book as well. Just remember all passengers must book their trip with Discovery Launch. Posting information on the rideshare board is not a booking.

Enjoy a 30-minute scenic boat ride from Campbell River to Mansons Landing on Cortes Island. (Discovery Launch trip indicated in RED above) Hollyhock is located on the southeast side of Cortes Island directly across from Twin Islands.

We require a credit card number and phone number when booking and 24-hour notice of cancellation.
