How to get to Powell River (qathet) and Mitchell's
Driving From Vancouver: you take two scenic ferries. You can reserve your vehicle(s) on BC Ferries.
Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. It takes 4.5 hours to arrive at our shop. You pay once at the first ferry, in either direction.
For example, if you catch the 7:25 am ferry out of Horseshoe Bay (to Langdale), this lines you up with the 10:35 am ferry out of Earls Cove (to Saltery Bay). You will arrive at our shop at noon.
Driving From Vancouver Island: you take one ferry from Comox to Powell River. This is a 1.5 hour ride.
Bus: Sunshine Coast Connector brings you here from Vancouver. The Island Link Bus brings you up Vancouver Island to the Comox Ferry.

Time in the great outdoors calms the mind, improves memory and attention span. According to Noom, when you’re out in nature, you turn off “voluntary attention,” and give your “involuntary attention” system a chance to shine.
You listen involuntarily as the birds sing, you see the beautiful mountains and trees, you hear the wind blow through the leaves. This allows your voluntary attention (where you’re forcing yourself to pay attention to something) to take a much needed break. And since voluntary attention can be pretty mentally draining, time in nature rests your brain, which can improve its performance.
