    This was the bill.

    I travel on bc ferries quiet a bit and I have discovered that it's definitely not the best food. It's pretty bland as I guess there's a lot of different guests the travel on bc ferries and it's probably pretty difficult to provide a high quality meal experience. I have to say the Mac and cheese is pretty bland but I like it better than a lot of other choices on their menu.

    We made free reservations for the 4:00pm sailing from Victoria Swartz Bay to Vancouver Tsawwassen. Be sure to arrive 30-60 minutes prior to scheduled departure. There has been staff shortage and ferry maintenance covered on the news and this reservation gave us some peace of mind. We sat beside Sitka Cafe sign where the seating is facing each other with a ledge at the window which was perfect for placing snacks and drinks while watching the beautiful scenery go by. I even saw a seal swimming along with us!

    This has happened a couple times to me. It is 5:23 and I am watching the ferry I was denied ticketing to prior to 5pm just depart. Now waiting for the next sailing in two hours. I understand protocols, when things are on time. However the ticketing staff should have the intuition to make choices based on current circumstances to better serve their customers.

    Breakfast for $25 that comes on a paper plate and wooden cutlery. The wood knife couldn't cut through the ham or English muffin on my benny. It was absolutely brutal. Buy a bunch of cutlery and a few plates if you're going to charge me $100 each way from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay, and then another $25 for a subpar breakfast!

    Dirty bathrooms, stuffing coming out of seats, terrible food. Overall dirty conditions. No pride in business noticed.

    BC Ferries provides essential passenger and vehicle ferry service across coastal British Columbia,…read moreand overall, it's a reliable way to travel. 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. But for future improvements, clearer announcements and louder overhead speakers would help first-time travelers. Even a quick name call for missing passengers would go a long way.

    Such a cool experience. This was my first time on a car ferry and we had a great experience. We…read morebooked our tickets online in advance (cheaper). When you arrive the check in process is smooth- you pull through a kiosk then wait in line in your car to board the boat. Once on the boat you can hang out in your car, sit inside by a window, visit one of their many dining options or my personal favorite hang out on the upper deck. We booked morning options so it was fun to watch the sun rise (with a coffee from the dining area). We also saw a few whales in the distance. Definitely recommend taking the ferry to visit Vancouver Island if you're visiting the area

    Parking before boarding the ferry between Vancouver and Victoria…read more.. This - unfortunately - was not the correct place to board the ferry. I just trusted my GPS to find a ferry, but didn't check to make sure that it went to Victoria. Shucks! It happened to be a terminal for cruise ships only. No cars allowed on the ships either! Uhg! Passengers only! (We're thought that we could Uber around Victoria without the car since could not take the car with us.) I paid by credit card in advance and will have to contact to Parking Company later to get a refund. Lesson learned.

    Wanted to give them better rating however both directions they ran late…read more Vancouver Island to Vancouver they were at least 40 minutes late, caused by leaving late which made for a bit of a scramble for me to make the airport by Skytrain. I carried my large carry on up the stairs instead of the elevator to cut back on lost time and huff and puffed down the road in power walk mode. Fortunately security and customs wasn't to busy airport. They sell food on board but ran out before I checked with them to purchase. The positives, they have good rates for Seniors, multiple trips throughout day, walking distance from the Skytrain. The seats are comfortable. In the future, I'll book extra time, take an earlier ferry and wonder around the waterfront if I have a scheduled flight to make when visiting friends on the island.

    Well, we went on our first seaplane ride yesterday, and chose Harbour Air through the Viator app…read more What an absolute blast! We were lagging behind the group that booked this tour but we ended up with the best seats on the plane - the very back jump seats. We had our own private window and didn't have to squish together in one seat. They have two seats together, and one seat options but they place you as they see fit. I believe there are only 13 seats on this particular plane. I loved how the plane flew low enough to see details on the ground. We could see everything! I was on the lookout for whales because I know I could have seen them clearly from our elevation, but I wasn't lucky enough to spot any. It was a cool ride nonetheless. Next time I would book the longer tour. This one was only 1/2 hour long. The one thing I wish they would do is give some commentary about what we were actually seeing, describing the particular sights etc. but overall a fantastic experience.

    Harbour Air provided one of the most unique, fun flights I have ever taken in my lifetime. For…read morecontext, I did a round trip from Vancouver Harbour (Downtown) up to Powell River and back. On both occasions, the flights were on time, and safety is taken very seriously where make all passengers wear a flotation device while onboard. I even got to sit in the front seat right next to the pilot while coming back to Vancouver from Powell River - the pilot even took the time to chat with me while he was flying the plane over where I was from, how my day was going, and so on. A really nice touch that made my trip to BC more special. The views are absolutely stunning no matter where you fly on Harbour Air. Make sure to take pictures - LOTS of them - as if you are a visitor here, this will almost certainly be one of your only seaplane flights you will have ever taken during your lifetime. Be mindful that the planes can get pretty loud, so if this bothers you, you can use earplugs that they provide in the seat packet in front of you. It's natural to feel nervous over taking a seaplane versus a regular flight, and believe me, I was slightly nervous at first too, but the moment we lifted off from the water and landed on it too, I felt nothing but pure joy. Harbour Air is the way to go!
