Did a road trip in 2018 with our family car and was impressed with the skill and accuracy these guys have, even with big vehicles. It was like watching someone play tetris with cars and trucks. The ride was awesome, we got a huge treat with a couple of whales breaching the surface! In these days of ...

Too expensive for normal "Public transportstion", Bland and overcharged food(except white spot). They said they care about our comfort, we wake up at 5 and stay in the car for atleast an hour to wait 7am ferry. I can't smoke about 4 hour. That such a good service provided by BC gorvenment. I wish on...

This is the worst website that i have every encountered, it is embarrassing to live in the province and to ever tell anyone to use it....there is no excuse for the way it functions. When i go to put in the number of passengers it added one....i have been trying to get a reservation for about an hou...

Overpriced, luxury, cooperate greed based ferry service. Does not care about its own BC residents only the tourism industry bringing in the money. I absolutely despise their company and service. Nothing bad to say about employees but all the decisions are coming from head office anyway. If there was...

On the ferries a lot and notice significant improvements - the new Coastal Celebration was beautiful, super modern, huge windows and spacious seating. The pod of dolphins on the last trip back to Vancouver was spectacular. Scenery cannot be beat. Improved strong WIFI and easy work stations. Read...

That was the first time that we brought our Motorhome (65 feet including dolly and car) not from Port Angeles to Victoria and that was really a VERY good decision! From Vancouver to Sydney it is so much more convenient. Because the Ferry was far newer and much more space, even the check-in/out was f...

As a regular "customer", I don't usually bother with the upper deck services and instead choose to stay in my vehicle. You've definitely gotten better over the years at managing car alarms, but its still not a perfect system. I've often wondered why there aren't signs painted in obvious places on th...

Paid extra for reservations but it seemed the same as when i didn't have one. The hotels i stayed at treated me with disdain almost because of the discount i got for booking my vacation thru bc ferries. One hotel told me i would be treated better if i booked thru them directly.

pretty much the only choice you have to get to and from the islands.

sucks that you are not aloud to stay in your vehicle anymore.

the pet friendly area needs major improvement or allow pet owners a space on board.

if you are biking, there is no safe and secure place for your bike or gear.

I purchased a reservation ticket but due to unexpected traffic issues was 27 minutes early for my boarding, instead of 30. I was told the reservation was no longer valid (and lost that money), on top of the a 2 hour additional wait for the next ferry... the ferry ended up being 30 minutes late due t...

Let's start of by saying that the ferries are frequently late, the service poor, and the prices expensive. You would assume that spending 81$ just to go to the mainland would in turn get you good service and get you to your destination in a timely fashion, however, you would be wrong. Just this most...

I have only had good experiences with this company. The staff is friendly, effective, and efficient from said experiences.

I think prices are fair given how expensive it must be to operate and maintain these vessels, not to mention all of the other essential facilities and personnel on land.

I was on the sailing from Victoria to Vancouver several days ago, what I witnessed was nothing short of horrifying, a 10 year old boy was getting mauled and bit by a very aggressive pit bull type dog, it only lasted a minute or so , but it was enough time for the dog to really sink it's teeth into ...

Going into Victoria BC was a fair experience with announcements prior to boarding the ferry as we decided to stay in the car before boarding.
However, on the return trip back to Vancouver from Victoria, we almost missed not getting on as we were inside the building having coffee when I noticed a ...

** -5 STARS **

BC ferries needs to dissolve or go back into the public's hands.

Customer service is horrible.

Employees act INCREDIBLY arrogant.
(Sorry but just because you work there, doesn't make you better than someone working at McDonald's. You SHOULD be ashamed and embarrised rather ...

Everything is okay, but I don't really like it because the workers don't interact or try and help people out when they're in need.
The food is okay, but in my opinion my mom's food is better, if you want safe transportation this is a great option.
