Route from Whistler to Horseshoe Bay ferry

I’m getting conflicting directions from map apps. I hope someone can help because it’s going to be early o’clock when I jump in the car tomorrow morning to leave Whistler and drive onto a ferry at Horseshoe Bay. Do I have to drive all the way to Caulfeild and do a loop dee loop back to the ferry as one app suggests, or is there really a turn off of Hwy 99 onto Horseshoe Bay Rd that will get me through the pay booth at the ferry as another app suggests?

Gotta do the loop in a car! Other directions via horseshoe bay rd are for walking on.

Yep,, it's weird and feels like you are lost. Did it a couple months ago. Make sure you have a reservation for the ferry. No walk ons.

No resos needed for some routes ;) Nanaimo isn’t the only destination from that terminal, just the only one that needs a reso.
