Excellent Ferry With Great Booking Plans - The ride over is very smooth and overall quite lovely. I really enjoyed it, and booking activities through the Clipper made the vacation planning considerably easier. Our voucher worked without issue in Victoria, so consider booking them directly through the Clipper if you go.

Great service - Very clean & the staff was very organized, friendly, & helpful. Shout out to one of the staff named Hank. He was busy taking care of the passengers the entire trip both ways. Incredible dedication and work ethic. The food choices on board were good also. Great option especially for the early morning trip.

Trip to Victoria - All of the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. For some reason, we were not assigned seats when I booked the trip and we had to see the attendant to get our seats. She made sure that we sat together and were seated in a very good spot. We decided we wanted to do high tea at the Empress hotel so they went ahead and booked our reservation for us. They were very attentive and made sure that we had drinks, food, and we’re comfortable. The whole trip was very seamless and I highly recommend it.

Planning is key - Would recommend staying 2 days in Victoria or definitely plan your day trip to get the most. We planned on visiting the castle and it was closed, so definitely check schedules for availability prior.

Refund - That you don’t refund even if someone is two hours fast the deadline to cancel which I found pretty sad since I forgot my passport and called as soon as I found out!

This company left out... - This company left out critical information for departure times and arrival times. We almost missed the boat literally by 5 minutes!

Cancelled - Me and my family were excited to be going to Canada and I get a Email stating your trip canceled. I did ask why on the text app they have but never got a response. I understand things happen but at least communicate something. If your booking tho trip be prepared for disappointment one day prior to your trip.
