black ball ferry line

Very safe and steady, super organized to cross the "boarder" and parking near the port was only 10bucks on a garage and very safe too.I recommend you seat on a booth rather than the cafe area, if you get a little sea sick you can lay down, but overall it was a great experience to leave and arrive at this port. Very affordable too.

Great transportation system for us between Vancouver Island and Port Angeles. We have good friends living on the island and formerly, we did also. The trip is about an hour and half and views crossing are beautiful. On board, there is literature to read, puzzles on table which bring others around and fun to visit with for the short ride. Food is served on board as well.

Excellent crew, beautiful views and a scenic passage to Victoria B.C. The best gift store with an excellent book section. Enjoy!

Taking the black Ball Ferry to Victoria from Port Angeles, is a really nice way to get to BC. Once there you can get around Victoria easily by foot or bus. If you do take your car, it is easy to drive on and off the ferry. The staff is very good at getting the vehicles settled.

We found that the Black Ball ferry was a great way to get to Vancouver Island without a lot of hassles. Making reservations online ahead of time saved us the headache of not knowing if there would be enough room to get on the ferry. The ferry is clean and comfortable and the staff friendly. Definitely will take the ferry again the next time we go.

Our teen was sick & the staff did everything possible to make sure he was warm and comfortable! Even brought him hot soup!

This was a fun way to get over to Victoria and all that Vancouver Island has to offer. The ship was very clean and comfortable. A variety of facilities were available on board. They even had advertising brochures for various activities at each end of the trip.

The water passage between Vancouver, BC and Port Angeles works efficiently and offers beautiful scenery - such a relaxing ferry ride. Everything you might need is already on-board and very user friendly. Bring your car. Hop aboard and enjoy the sail.

Can not fault the Coho in any way, shape or form! It is spotless, pristine, ageless and timely. Their web site works well. Unfortunate that their terminals in both Port Angeles and Victoria, B.C. are in despite need of attention. Besides all that, you can set your watch by their sailings!

Only problem was getting up all the stairs and back down again as I could not find an elevator. Passengers are not allowed on the car deck while crossing.

This was an excellent ferry ride. We were taking a 43' RV across and they easily accommodated us. The ferry itself is not as nice as a BC ferry but the length of ride and cost was similar to going from Tsawwassan to Victoria. This ferry takes you to right downtown Victoria, which is great if you are walking or biking or even driving, but you do need to be confident in your ability to drive a big rig in a city to get off of here. It is very doable. You do go through customs as you come off of the ferry and this is also an easy process as long as you are being good!

Only one ferry trip to Canada and back each day. Unless you spend the night, you only end up with about 5 usable hours in Canada. Would definitely recommend staying at least one night in Canada. Don't take a car on the ferry. Easy to walk around and don't have to worry about finding and paying for parking.

Made this trip to Victoria in July with our motorcycle. A wonderful trip with great views. If you don't have a car, it's an easy walk on and walk off. The dock is in walking distance to down town Victoria.

It is always fun to travel on the Coho. The crew is the best organized I have ever seen at loading and unloading vehicles in a timely and safe fashion. The upper decks are comfortable and fun during the crossing.

A fun way to go to Victoria BC. Efficient and easy to do. Our favorite. Only took an hour and a half. Customs was friendly and efficient. Love the soft ice cream available in the cantee.
