It sure Was Fun

Not much experience with ferries, but the crew was helpful, the seating was roomy and comfortable and the snacks weren’t bad. The weather cooperated and We saw lots of Orcas. For 3 hours it was a lot better than a plane ride.

Double booked

Mistakenly booked a one way trip when we already had a RT. Called with the error within a couple hrs and Viator agent had absolutely no solution but to charge us twice for the one way. ( additional $337). We’ll never do business w Viator again.
