Great experience. My first time on a boat of any kind, just took a round trip to Victoria for a day and while it's a lot of waiting it was a very good experience.

The ferry was extremely well run. The personnel gave clear guidance on how to load my UHaul, and the main deck + food shop were well maintained. Better yet, we even managed to see a humpback come up close! Overall, far preferable to driving alone, and well worth the price.
In summer, book morning sailings for whale-spotting; in winter, lounges are quieter—dress in layers as sea breezes stay cool year-round.
