You will need to make two different reservations. Have a look at the reservation system online now to familiarize yourself with it beforehand. You’ll see that you have to pick your access point and entry point. If some of your group are only doing half the trail, they will have a different access and entry points.

Or do I have to make them as separate reservations for the same start date (with lots of luck Ofc)? Thank you in advance for your answer.

Thank you SO much for your time and hard work put into mapping out the WCT for all of us! Incredible helpful. My hope is to snag a spot this Summer (2023)… wish me luck!

@Taryn Eyton, prices just went up, Taryn.

Thanks for the heads up. The fee amounts I had listed are what is on Parks Canada’s WCT web page, but it looks like the reservation system is actually changing more. I’ve updated the post to reflect what hikers will actually be charged. (I went through the reservation process to confirm the amounts.)

The Gordon River Ferry fee is $24 per person, the Nitinhat Ferry fee is also $24 per person, and the reservation fee is $25.75 per person.

Total for 4 people with tax was $839.

I’m glad you found it helpful! I also found the Parks Canada site lacking in a bit of detail which is why I decided to write my own 🙂

Your write-up was even more informative than the official Parks Canada site.
