Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish- fantastic scenery on the ferry We had a short walk from the Fairmont Empress, Victoria to the nearby coach station where we met Russ, the absolutely brilliant driver who took us single handed all the way to our drop off point at the Fairmont, Vancouver where we co-incidentally happened to be staying.Our bags were efficiently tagged and put in the hold of the coach and that was the last we saw of them until our Vancouver drop off. A pleasant journey to the Victoria ferry terminal enhanced by Russ' dry and witty humour. The coach goes to the front of the queue for the ferry so was first on and first off. We were amazed that more people did not go to the open top deck on what was a glorious day, to take in the truly wonderful views - plenty of foto opportunities.
There is obviously plenty of comfortable seating on the lower decks as well as a cafe etc and good toilets. The ferry trip, about 80 minutes was a real scenic revelation as in fairness was the quick plane journey coming over from Vancouver - do both if you can.
The coach was first off the ferry and soon into Vancouver. A faultless journey from start to finish. My partner thought our driver Russ, who has a good deal of responsibility on a journey like this, was an absolute star - the best of his kind that we met on our two weeks in Western Canada.
The ferry journey was one of the highlights of our holiday.
