Additional Information & Description

Victoria to Vancouver becomes more than a transfer on this one-way coach-and-ferry journey. Travel in the comfort of a luxury coach, then take in spectacular views as the ferry cruises through the Gulf Islands. The sea crossing gives the journey its distinctive appeal, with island scenery along the route between the two cities.

Three connected stages from Victoria to Vancouver

The ticket includes scheduled motor coach transportation from the Bus Terminal at Capital City Station in Victoria to Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal. From there, the included one-way ferry trip takes you to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal in Vancouver. A further scheduled motor coach service carries you from Tsawwassen to the Bus Terminal at Pacific Central Station in Vancouver. Both land connections are part of the journey, so the transport extends beyond the ferry terminals: you begin at a city bus terminal and finish at another, rather than ending your trip at the waterfront.

Allow four hours for the journey

The journey takes approximately four hours. This is a one-way service from Victoria to Vancouver, with Pacific Central Station as the final stop. Set aside that travel time when arranging your onward plans in Vancouver; the ferry crossing is one stage of the coach-and-ferry itinerary.

Where to arrive in Victoria

Start at 721 Douglas St in Victoria and arrive 15 minutes before departure. This arrival allowance comes before the journey begins, so factor it into your departure-day schedule rather than arriving at the scheduled leaving time.
