By Sea
The Black Ball Ferry runs from Port Angeles across the Juna de Fuca Strait, with foot and car-driving passengers disembarking in downtown Victoria. The MV Coho is a delightfully retro vessel, with comfy seating and big decks for sunny days spent admiring the views over the 90 minute voyage. Explore Victoria as a day trip, or book a hotel for a few nights – your return trip is valid for up to seven days.
The foot passenger-only Victoria Clipper is a high-speed catamaran that runs between Seattle and Victoria. Disembarking in the downtown core of both cities, it’s an excellent way to travel for a weekend trip. The three hour trip travels through Puget Sound and into the Juan de Fuca Strait.
There’s also the option to reach Victoria via the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries. Ferries run from Anacortes and throughout the San Juan Islands to Sidney on Vancouver Island. From there it’s a 30-minute drive to Victoria.
