Black Ball Ferry Line (with kids)

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 process was much easier than getting on a plane; it was smooth, efficient, and stream lined. Moving around on the decks was a lot of fun and incredibly scenic. I even got to see a whale halfway across the journey on the way there, an...

Lots of room to sit in various parts of the ship. Some food available. Small gift shop. One and a half hour Crossing time. Well organized vehicle loading and unloading.

This ferry experience is definitely a level below those BC ferries. It was an interesting experience to clear immigration on the Victoria side, and then clear Customs in the Port Angeles side. The boat is not large so swayed quite a bit during the 1.5 hrs voyage.

Well organised and quick on and off. Onboard facilities are sufficient for a quick cheap crossing. There was a minor delay to departure but they made upt the time and landed on time at the other end. The price also is what you'd expect so overall a 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.
