    We took the BC Ferry over to Vancouver Island with a car and booked our tickets online with zero issues. From start to finish--ticket purchase, boarding, departure, and arrival--the whole experience was seamless and well organized. The ferry itself is spacious with plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor areas, so it never felt cramped. There's room to walk around, relax, enjoy the views, grab a bite to eat, and even browse a small gift shop. It felt more like part of the journey than just transportation. Food options onboard were okay--nothing memorable, but decent enough if you need something during the crossing. Overall, a comfortable, stress-free way to travel and a great start to a Victoria Island getaway.

    Vancouver Island bound!

    Well organized, lots of lounge options, food and beverages for sale. Beautiful views of the mountains.

    Ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay [Vancouver BC] We had to take the ferry to get to our Airbnb (we did not know this when we booked). The ferry is located at the southwest end of Highway 17 in Delta. This route took us to Swartz Bay in Victoria but sailings from Tsawwassen also provided service to Duke Point in Nanaimo. Had we been well-informed about the location and distances in Victoria we would've taken that ferry route. We didn't have any reservations but they were able to accommodate our car on the next sailing. Available deck space shows an estimate of how much vehicle space is available for a sailing but the estimate doesn't include vehicles outside the terminal waiting to buy a ticket. The waiting area is spacious and huge and clean! Sailing time was about 1.5 hours. There is a cafe and a cafeteria-type service available as well as vending machines. They have a kids play area and a pet area too. Review #3179

    Wow, what a treat. We needed to get to Victoria from Vancouver so we took the BC Ferry over. It was like a city on water.

    The BC Ferries are huge ships that have multiple decks and can carry hundreds of passengers. On the very low decks, automobiles, trucks and buses can also come for the ride. These ferries shuttle between several Canadian ports on a daily basis that includes multiple scheduled sailings. I used this Ferry to travel between Victoria and Vancouver. The journey (90 minutes each way), is smooth and the time passes well. My only complaint is regarding the booking process and their customer service. The gift shop personnel were unfriendly and rude. On line booking is smooth, but you do not get a boarding pass by email. Instead before embarking, you have to stand in line, show your confirmation number, and then get your ticket, each time. There is no clear information regarding the BC Ferry connectors. Good luck calling them. You will either be on hold for a very long time, or nobody will pick up.

    The ferry place runs like a well oiled machine! Leaves on time and takes you to your destination. The ship was very well organized and was super clean. They have a great buffet in the cafe and it was tasty. They have small children's areas which are a relief for the parents.

While this isn't billed as a tour, the ship's captain was kind enough to narrate the landmarks (including each owner of the the vast row of yachts docked nearby!) that we were passing as well as each of the stops and what adventures could be had there. She was really entertaining and kind, as she also helped with several lost travelers standing at one of the stations. It was a smooth ride on a sunny day and the views were absolutely gorgeous. FYI, there are no amenities on board, so no concession stand or washrooms, although the ride roundtrip is only around 40 minutes -you don't really need it to begin with.

Very convenient AquaBus ride from Granville Island straight over to Yaletown, spending some time walking around and hanging out there, and then coming back to Granville Island for the rest of the day. It's such a short and sweet ride, but you still get to enjoy beautiful views of False Creek along the way. Another favourite is taking it over toward Science World and making a whole afternoon out of it. You can visit Science World, walk around False Creek and then head back to Granville Island. It's also really pretty at night when all the lights and signs are reflecting on the water. After spending a long day at Granville Island, hopping on the boat and just enjoying the ride is such an easy way to end the day. And the best part is that it's cheap! For the price, it's such a fun little Vancouver experience and something I keep coming back to and always making sure to have my out of town guests join in as well!

I park, walk toward the bus and HE MOVES AND DRIVES PASSED ME! It would have taken 30 seconds to let me on. My ticket was stamped at 6:14. I had to wait 24 minutes in 28C temperature for him to drive back, drive passed me again to park at the far end of the lot in the shade...then come and let me on at 6:38. UNBELIEVABLE. I figured there was some kind of mistake, so when I boarded I asked politely why he couldn't pick me up when I was standing there. He pushes a laminated rule book in my face saying, yelling "rules! there are rules! must be on time! must follow schedule. Read! Read!" I get that buddy but there were NO OTHER GUESTS waiting but me. The bus was mostly empty when it left. It would have taken 30 seconds to let me board! I was RIGHT THERE! A basic common respect of passengers would suggest a slight judgment call here. Even if somehow he couldn't, he could have simply been polite about it but man what a total jerk he was. So much attitude, yelling, and total obnoxiousness. WOW. I feel compelled to write this everywhere until I find management to complain to. MEANWHILE DO NOT PARK AT THIS PLACE!

The bus driver even drove quickly to the ferry terminal a few times because he knew I would have missed the ferry!! I was very appreciative of that. They try to park their shuttle as close to where you park your car when possible if they don't have too many other parkers in other areas. You can park your car where ever there is space. They aren't picky. I figure I did a lot less walking with their shuttle from there to the terminal than you have to when in the Ferry terminal long-term parking, which I had to look all over for their shuttle and just ended up walking the distance. When you come back, just wait for them to arrive as they come for each sailing to pick people up or drop off. So good deal and cheaper than the ferry terminal parking.

I wanted to explore the Queensborough neighbourhood by the river, so Q to Q Ferry was the perfect method to do it. The ferry is a 12 passenger boat with TransLink bus style seats that is capable wheelchairs, bicycles and dogs. The cost is two dollars for a one way trip for an adult. Children under five years old are free, and it's one dollar for concession: seniors 65 years and older and youth 14 to 18 and children 5 to 13 years. Just remember to bring the correct amount of money because staff don't have change. I liked how I could walk into the ferry and pay the 2 dollars and use their service right away. There was no need for reservations, and you don't have to pay at a booth.

Since the Q2Q was extended and the schedule has been expanded, my family uses it for work commutes, grocery shopping, running errands, and catching the sky train to other parts of the city. The Q2Q has changed our lives, and encouraged us to spend more time shopping and exploring New West. The real surprise is the helpful, kind, and friendly staff. The pilots and crew know the river, know the community, and have become part of our neighborhood. We're in good hands with Bowen Land and Sea Taxi, and I hope New West continues the reliable service with this outstanding company.

It's pretty hard to tell which direction the ferry is going next though unless you're very familiar with the routes, so make sure you ask the driver just in case. I find that the ones I've interacted with all ask you where you're going before letting you on, so at least I haven't taken the wrong boat yet. They have a zone system for ticketing and at first it was a bit confusing for which zone ticket was needed to go where. But they have nice maps at each stop so it wasn't too hard to decipher after awhile. The boat drivers were also pretty nice and were happy to answer questions about tickets. I took the boats during the Big Picnic event at David Lam park. There were other people on the boat but it was not crowded at all. Boats also came all the time and so we didn't have to wait much before ours came. The boat doors were left open when I rode the boats and so it was really nice to be able to take pictures and videos without obstruction from the windows or clear screens. The creek is relatively calm most of the time and the rides are short, so most people probably won't get sea sick.

Considering how short the rides are, you dont really have to plan much. You can hop on hop off as you feel like. The boats are small, so there is never really much of a waiting time for docking or embarkation. Like a city bus but on water. Must try.

We bought our tickets at the Capital City Station on Douglas Street in Victoria, and Sandy was absolutely wonderful, friendly, helpful, and patient. She even got us seats for October 13, 2025, which was Thanksgiving. Every company needs a Sandy, she deserves 5 stars for her service. Once we boarded the bus, things went downhill. Our driver, James wasn't very approachable. His responses were short, and he came across as a bit grouchy. It was a holiday, so we understand, but as first-time passengers, we found his instructions unclear and he seems to not welcome questions. When the ferry docked at Tsawwassen, we didn't hear it was time to reboard the bus to continue to downtown Vancouver. We missed the announcement and ended up being left behind, but our checked bags and personal items were still in the bus to Vancouver. Thankfully, the staff at Tsawwassen terminal were great. They guided us, called ahead to Pacific Station BC Ferries, and made sure we could retrieve our bags. When we finally reunited with the bus, James didn't seem particularly concerned or empathetic, which made an already stressful situation feel worse. We blame ourselves for missing the bus.
