(Translated by Google) A very convenient fast ferry to Vancouver Island from Seattle. A 3-hour crossing, the ferry is clean, punctual, equipped with restrooms, and food and drinks available on board. (Original) Traghetto veloce comodissimo per raggiungere l'isola di Vancouver da Seattle. 3h di navigazione, traghetto pulito, puntuale, dotato di bagni e possibilità di acquistare cibo e bevande a bordo.

Make sure you know what...

Make sure you know what seat level and possible upgrade you are booking. We booked and paid for premium seating but the ferry tried to give us economy class. I had to call Viator to get everything straightened out. Everyone was friendly through the process.

The guide had a difficult tone of voice to listen and while the details were interesting they were a bit boring. No interesting stories were presented. The orca's we saw were nice. But it was very far. even with our binoculars it was not easy. The other boat was able to get much closer than we did. Also it was an expensive trip.

Fantastic Ferry lives up to its FRS “Fast Reliable Service” but the employees are the icing on the cake!

Thoroughly enjoyable! Deb, Ashley & Jessinine are wonderful, personable, knowledgeable and excellent employees. The temperature on the ferry was A little too cold. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

No whales or really much of any wildlife. Very disappointing to have paid so much money and then not be given a refund. The boat is comfortable and the he food service was decent.

Loved the trip to Victoria. Beautiful views and great crew. When it's full you need some patience getting off but they do a great job.

I did a whale watching tour on the San Juan Clipper, and it was truly magical. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much in addition to seeing two different orca pods! Cannot recommend them enough.

Very disappointed

Our trip to Seattle was planned around the idea that we weren’t sure what else we’d be able to fit in, but that we MUST go on a whale watching tour. The day of, we arrived to the pier very excited only to find it suspiciously empty, and to be told that the outing was cancelled entirely for the day. No one had communicated a single word to us. No effort was made to reschedule or make it right in any way, and we were scheduled to fly out the next day so there was no opportunity for that had there been a modicum of any sort of concern anyway. Later, we spoke to several different people who work in and around the harbor, and everyone’s general consensus was that reasonably, it is illogical to leave from Seattle itself for this type of excursion—and that’s why no one else does. The whales are much further north. So, ultimately, I feel like this would’ve most likely been an anticlimactic scam anyway, but it was a huge letdown to have flown across the country to do this one specific thing and we couldn’t even get a text or an email to let us know it was off before we wasted our time and money getting to the pier. If you want to do this type of excursion, just save yourself the potential disappointment and plan for the extra logistics you’ll need to figure out to go with one of the legitimate options out of Edmonds or Anacortes.

My girlfriend booked a Clipper hotel package and took me to see my first major league baseball game. This ferry is downtown to downtown and is a great way to travel for a weekend trip in either direction. Will definitely use them again to see more sporting events and taking the wonderful food and scenery of downtown Seattle.

Kaum Tiere gesehen , ewig gewartet . Wale höchstens erahnt aus hunderten Metern Entfernung. Klar Natur hat ihre eigenen Gesetze, aber dann sollte man nichts versprechen oder so aktiv bewerben. Für den stolzen Preis haben wir wenig bekommen.
