It's "Anchors Aweigh" as your Victoria Harbour Ferry sets sail on the waters surrounding Victoria's harbourside communities. Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of the world's premiere vacation spots, where visitors will always find a treasure chest full of recreational activities.

Our maritime heritage lives on today as local residents and visitors enjoy sailing, boating, whale watching, scuba diving, kayaking, canoeing, even surfing, and, best of all. marine tours aboard a Victoria Harbour Ferry.

Visit the Victoria Maritime Museum for more information about Victoria's maritime history then take a short 5-minute walk to the nearest Harbour Ferry stop at the Regent Hotel - Reeson's Landing .

A Victoria Harbour Ferry is definitely not like a BC Ferry or any other 'passenger' ferry. Those other ferries are BIG and they carry cars, trucks and busses. Victoria Harbour Ferries are small and cute 'tiny tugs' that do only 5 knots on the water and they carry only people!
