Very clean and efficient ferry ride. They charge you $95 CAD, from Tsawwassen to Victoria and another $95 CAD back. Everything is very clean and orderly upstairs too. There are snacks and cozy spots to sit. Occasionally, you'll see whales! It's great and everyone is so NICE! P.S. You cannot sit in your car, while the ferry is moving! read more

Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal - Cold & foggy, but still a beautiful trip. - Ferries Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

Taking the ferry between Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, shouldn't be so confusing, but it was for me. I started at the wrong "ferry terminal" that was for cruise ships only. I don't think it should be named a "ferry" terminal when it's a CRUISE SHIP TERMINAL. Well, we learned quickly and drove about an hour to this Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. We didn't have reservations, but luckily we're able to board as "walk-ins". The ride was uneventful. There was a gift shop, cafeteria, and restrooms available. We had brought snacks, so we ate on board. We were able to walk around the outside of the ferry after we parked our car and made a note of what level and what stairway were closest. Overall, it was an alright experience. We know what to do next time! read more

BC Ferries are run incredibly well and the views are priceless. I have traveled to Vancouver Island a couple times prior but this time we took our dogs with us. They loved it! Thank you BC Ferries. Definitely recommend reservations if your dogs are more reactive or sensitive to sound like we did on our return trip back to Vancouver on a letter evening ferry as our dogs are just puppies and that was much more comfortable and less overwhelming for them though. On our way out from Tsawwassen Terminal we did not book a reservation as we were being a bit spontaneous and enjoyed the full adventure of finding the orca stairwell (closest and last stairwell to the front of the ship), climbing all the flights of stairs up to the upper deck and enjoyed the spectacular views and fresh sea air. It was an amazing adventure but our dogs are just puppies and found the horns and all the dogs a bit over stimulating but there were so many very well behaved great dogs and owners there and it was definitely wonderful to be able to experience and bring our pups with us. Ideally there can be even be more space for dogs to travel with owners in the future! Thank you BC Ferries! read more

It was such a fun experience ! We took the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria round trip! Driving up and parking was easy but a bit slow. Which is no big deal considering how many cars go there. There's some convenient food restaurants there where you can pick up food while you wait. read more

Efficient and well managed terminal with a good sized indoor quay/market. Quay has a good variety of food choices and shops .. ladies restroom is a bit of a trek but has plenty of stalls so wait wasn't bad. Nice sized grassy lot for the doggos to have their bathroom break as well read more

Ages 12+: $20, Ages 5-11: $10, Vehicle: +$75 The ferry itself was fine. I had a good experience with the ride. The seats are comfortable. They had a LOT of amenities, such as cafes, lounges, vending machines, gift shop, kids zone, pet area, work/study area, charging stations, and many more! You can also enjoy the beautiful view. I heard that you might also get to see some whales, but I didn't see any. I don't like how they don't allow you to reserve tickets for more than one vehicle. I was traveling with family and had to make two separate reservations (one car with 3 adults and one child and the other with 4 adults and one baby). We made some changes on who would ride on which car when we left. We arrived at the check-in station and told the staff that even though one car now has 3 adults and one baby and the other has 4 adults and one child, the total number is the same. The staff said he would talk to the staff at the next booth about this and let us go. However, the other staff was not helpful and didn't allow it. We even had one person walked over to get on the other car so that it's the same as the reservation, but she still charged us $15!!! So outrageous. I think it just depends on your luck, because the first staff was gonna let us go without charging us extra. On our way back, we had one person walked over and hopped on the other car just before checking in. read more

We travel to the Island at least once a year. We will be going again in July. The ferry isn't bad. it is inexpensive. Travel isn't bad. If you are taking a car, it is best to make a reservation. If you are walking on than it doesn't matter. The ferry is quite clean inside. Nothing too wow. For the price of around $18 each way for walk on, I don't expect too much from it. read more

The lines to board the ferry are orderly and they have several people directing cars on and off the boats. It's very well organized. The indoor waiting area has a good selection of cuisines including Japanese, American, Chinese, and Mexican. They also have a Starbucks and a Rocky Chocolate Factory. Additionally, they have a few gift stores towards the back of the hall. My only complaint, is that the seating area is cramp and limited. There are a few tables in the middle of the hallway, but the location is not the best. read more

There is Tsawwassen Mills Outlets and a water park near by this ferry terminal. There is also some plaza near by with some eateries.

I like that this ferry serves hot meals on board. The ferry was clean. I miss the 7pm sailing and have to wait for the last sailing at 9pm. That was a long wait for my kiddos and it was a hot day too. read more

Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal - Ferries Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

This was the first time that I ever road a ferry that also transports cars. We were on a tour bus that was headed to Victoria Island. After our bus pulled up to the line, we had about 25 minutes before our bus was to board the ferry so we headed into the ferry terminal to check it out. There's a bunch of different shops to buy souvenirs, vendors selling different kinds of food, a lottery shop, and a Starbucks. It's a cool place to roam around and kill time. The food and desserts that were served by the different vendors looked good too. I was already full so I didn't get anything. This place is definitely a cool place to hang out before getting on the ferry. Just make sure to keep track of time while you get lost browsing inside this terminal or you may get left behind. read more

This little gem was a surprise! While waiting in line for your ferry appointment you can hop out of the car, grab a starbucks, go to an ATM, get food (mexican, pizza, rocky mountain chocolate and more!). There is a great little shop with an awesome selection of hats and beautiful scarves. Bathrooms also available! Everything is clean and pleasant. read more

Review #068 - 2018 I've never been on a large ferry boat before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was actually a little worried about daughter since she's still quite young & I don't know if she'd end up with motion sickness & get sea sick. Thank goodness neither of us ended up with any problem at all. While we were waiting for the ferry, we decided to walk around the terminal area and had a cup of gelato at the Ice Cream Store, I think that was name of the shop. I got a single scoop of hazelnut while my niece had the single scoop of mango. Mine was just ok, but tasted kind of grainy for some odd reason. I also ended up purchasing some t-shirts as souvenirs for my sisters, which were not overpriced, surprisingly. They also have a small playground out front for the kids, but it was freezing so we didn't go outside. The boat is definitely huge and had plenty of seats so we had no problem finding a seating area. They also have a small children's area, which was nice for parents with small kids. My daughter and niece definitely appreciated that. The ticket prices were pretty reasonable. I think it was 17 CAD for adults & 5 CAD for kids over 5 or something, and 51 CAD per vehicle. read more

Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal - 03/31/2018: Entry to terminal - Ferries Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

First thing: I absolutely love traveling. It gives me a kind of peace that I just can't get without being out on the water and with such a relaxing, slow journey, this is one of many things that I love about traveling. BC Ferries, I have some awesome memories of this ferry route. So about BC Ferries, well let's be honest there is not much to say, it's a big boat that transport people and vehicles from the mainland to the island. #ReggaeNotReggaeTime #CueTheIslandMusic You don't have choices when it comes to getting to and from Victoria or any of the Vancouver Island destination by vehicle or at the very least affordable transportation that cost like less than $20.00CAD walking on, and approx $60 with a vehicle. I travel first class when on these ferries and all of them have the Pacific Buffet Restaurant and the Business Class Room which cost upon entry $13-26 CAD which is very worthwhile when the journey is nearly 2hrs. Actually 1 1/2hrs. The ferry offers small shopping, the main cafeteria, a cafe lounge, a business lounge, a pacific buffet restaurant, work areas, kid zones, and many areas for viewing of the waters. And if I'm taking the Schwartz Bay-Tsawwassen route (which I most commonly do), I really prefer the Tsawwassen terminal because I actually enjoy the market that they have for you to check out while you wait. there is nothing wrong with Schwartz Bay but I mean, if you're offering a shop that does chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick, you pretty much own my heart. #SorryNotSorry Horseshoe Bay Terminal you need to up your game!!! Also, BC Ferry is pet-friendly. The staff from the check-in all the way to the boat crew is extremely friendly, however they still don't allow pets in the main passenger areas. So you have to travel with your little furry friend in the designated Pet Area which is well kept. I have had pretty awesome conversations with the other fur-parents :) #PetOwnersGetEachOther So BC Ferry, I salute you for the tremendous service you provide, keep bringing us safely to our destination, and if possible change the policy to allow pets in the main cabin areas or at the very least provide vending machines outside the Pet Area so we can enjoy some sort of refreshments and treats ourselves. Lastly: BC Ferries offers some pretty cool get-away packages and if you are not interested in a BC ferry affiliation type getaway, they have many reading materials and other companies that you can inquire about along their information wall, I discovered many of my travels on the island hidden gems from BC ferries information wall. Happy Travels. read more

Since I lived on the island for 5+ years, I've taken the Tsawwassen - Swartz Bay ferry route more times than my fingers and toes can count. For taking the ferry this many times, you think I'd get sick of it. But nope, I absolutely love it. There is something so peaceful about sitting on the outer deck on a warm sunny day, people-watching and admiring the beautiful BC scenery. Between the Tsawwassen terminal and Swartz Bay terminal, I much prefer the Tsawassen side. Nothing wrong with the Swartz Bay terminal, but the Tsawwassen Terminal is probably one of the larger and nicer terminals from BC Ferries. If you drive on, you can hangout at the small indoor market where there is plenty of food, drink, and souvenir vendors to choose from. If you're walking on they have a small cafe where you can grab a small snack and a drink while you're waiting. Whether it's your first of your hundreth time taking the ferry, there is always something to enjoy about the ride. I even saw a pack of orca whales swimming by on my last ferry trip to Victoria. read more

Ferry was clean and comfortable and WHAT A VIEW! British Columbia is SO BEAUTIFUL. You can sit outside or inside. Cost for walking on was very reasonable imo less then $20- per person. There where outlets for charging electronics. There was also an area to purchase food and drinks. read more

First off: I absolutely love the ferry. It makes me feel a kind of peace that I just can't get without being out on the water and with such a relaxing, slow journey, I can't think of many things that I love as much as this. Plus, I have some awesome memories of this ferry route. Last year, I took it while heading to Vancouver for my birthday and on the way, saw a pod of orcas tailing the boat just slightly which was a really magical experience. When I was young, I have quite a few fond memories of this ride and the awesome arcade games that my brother and I played for probably the entire time! And if I'm taking the Schwartz Bay-Tsawwassen route (which I most commonly do), I really prefer the Tsawwassen terminal because I actually enjoy the market that they have for you to check out while you wait. Nothing wrong with Schwartz Bay but I mean, if you're offering a shop that does chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick, you pretty much own my heart. Also, this part is quite outdated but I have some good memories of it so why not share it? Back when Pokemon Go was super popular, I found this Ferry Terminal to be extremely poppin' with Pokemon lol! I showed up just a bit too late to catch the ferry that I was aiming for but the time really flew by as I walked around in the sun catching Pokemon instead. Many wholesome experiences were had both here and on the boat and I hugely recommend taking the time to relax and enjoy the ride, instead of worrying so much! read more

The wait it too long and the food choices at the Quay were way overpriced and marginal at best. BC Ferries should do better. Also, the price for the ferry was way to high for the lack of quality you get. I just gave it 1 star because the review wouldn't let me post if I left it blank. Soooo 0 stars. read more

Completely impressed with how efficiently they load up cars and passengers in a timely manner. This was my first time on the ferry. It was equally as efficient on the return ride home from Swartz Bay. read more

This ferry terminal is in a pretty convenient location for me. I usually go here if I am traveling to Nanaimo or Victoria. One of my favourite things about this ferry terminal is they have a small area for shopping called Quay market. In the Quay market you can buy food or other stuff like wallets or magnets etc. while waiting for the ferry to arrive. I have been here about 10 times and overall would have to say I have only had one bad experience but that's because I was late and the next sailing got delayed. But either than that this is probably one of my favourite ferry terminals in B.C. read more

If your going for an early or late trip I recomend booking ahead. I tryed to get the 9pm yesterday but it had filled up by 5pm. After the bad news i made the choice to pre book online which was easy and very straight forward on the bc ferries website. I'm glad i pre booked as when i showed up in the am an hour early the 7 am ferry was already full. Felt like a vip gettkng in when everyone else was stuck in line. If you plan ahead its a really simple and well fun service read more
