arriving in Victoria by ferry from Washington state
FERRY
One of the most pleasurable ways to get your first view of British Columbia is from sea
level. Many scheduled ferry services cross from Washington state to Victoria, on Vancouver
Island, but no ferries run to Vancouver from south of the border.
Three companies provide a ferry link between Washington State and Victoria (Van-
couver Island). Clipper Navigation (800/888-2535, www.clippervacations.com , adult
US$92 one-way, US$155 round-trip) has a passenger-only service departing Seattle's Pier
69 up to five times daily in summer and less frequently the rest of the year. Washington
State Ferries (206/464-6400, or 888/808-7977, www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries , adult US$18,
senior US$9, youth US$14.40, vehicle and driver US$47.90) link Anacortes, north of
Seattle, with Sidney, 32 kilometers (20 miles) north of Victoria. A link between Port
Angeles and Victoria is made by the MV Coho (250/386-2202 or 360/457-4491,
