BC ferries are awesome ! The winers who complain should ride some other ferry systems in the world.

Seventeen dollars for a very comfortable, roughly two hour, boat ride in incredibly beautiful waters is not expensive. I love BC Ferries!

I'm thinking of going to Vancouver/ Victoria late summer, early fall. I'm guessing the ferry has elevators/escalators to make it easy for passengers with bags, suitcases. I'd probably go some time around late August/ early September. Would I need a jacket, if I was out on the deck of the ferry ?

@TravelWithTats 2 ай бұрын

Late August earl September is generally really warm. If it windy it can get a little chilly but it’s generally pretty nice. And yes they have an elevator. If you have big bags there’s a bag drop in the terminal. They take them for you and then drop them off on the other side if you didn’t want to carry the bags around the boat.

I'd have to jump on one of the ferries on 2nd Jan. Should I book online or pay cash at the counter? I'd be carrying 2 big bags.

@TravelWithTats Жыл бұрын

If you’re driving onto the ferry book online now. If you are just walking on then pay cash when you arrive at the terminal

I've lived on the island my whole life and never knew the other exit trick. They actually don't hassle you at all?

Nope! It’s the exit for bikes and people with pets. So it’s allowed And sooo much faster.

May I ask if you know how does the car work in this case? Do I pay for the car fee or do I pay for both the car and personnel depending on the number of passengers? Also I would like to ask if I am driving, do I need to bring my passport or my drivers licence? Thanks!

@TravelWithTats 5 ай бұрын

You’ll drive up to the gate and they charge you at the gate for your car, then per person in the car. For this specific ferry you don’t need a passport or driver license. There are some that do require a driver license as ID for verification. But again, not this one

Is there a bus service from Tsawwassen ferry to Victoria

@TravelWithTats 2 ай бұрын

There’s public transit from the ferry to Victoria. It picks up immediately as you exit the terminal. Or there’s a coach service offered in the ferry. You sign up and pay for when on the ferry. They are only open for the first 30minutes of the ferry ride, so booking right away is best if that’s how you want to go. And it takes you right downtown.

Be prepared to pay a lot of money. I live on Vancouver Island and the fare to drive aboard a ferry to Vancouver is too expensive for me.

@TravelWithTats Жыл бұрын

I live here too. So much money. Maybe one day they can have a “locals only rate”. Or at least a locals ferry line for a small yearly fee with proof of residence

@@TravelWithTats Well, in the meantime, I _will not pay_ more than $30 to drive my vehicle aboard any BC Ferry sailing. And I have not paid to drive aboard any ferry other than Brentwood Bay-Mill Bay for many years.
