OUR TOURS & SERVICES

WATER BALLET

When Victoria Harbour Ferry began presenting the Water Ballet in the 1990’s the viewers were amazed at the maneuverability and precision of the boats. Taking inspiration from the world-famous RCMP Musical Ride, and marching bands the little ferries set out to perform the most difficult of maneuvers on the water and to create a world renown performance.

Overall great experience

We enjoyed our tour of the inner harbour and gorge. Ben was very knowledgeable and kind. He was great with my two kids and took the time to be very thorough about the areas we were passing by. Overall it was a great experience.

Combo Tour was fabulous!

What a great view of Victoria from the water! I'm new to Victoria so am trying to experience life as a tourist. My Guide Fenn was so pleasant and very knowledgable. I took the Combo Tour of the Gorge and Vic West. It was well worth the 45 minute ride. I would definitely recommend it to visitors.

Putt Putt Toot Toot, all ashore that's going ashore.

If you come to Victoria anytime between May and October do yourself a solid and take the Harbour Ferry (yes harbour has a "U" in it when visiting Canada) ...it will take you around one of the world's cleanest and most beloved cities. Get on the water and Putt Putt Toot Toot!

A must do! Especially with Captain Daphne and Captain Adrian!

My family and I really enjoyed our Inner Harbour Ferry Tour. It was our first experience and I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed it! We learned so much about Victoria and the views were stunning! It is a working harbour so there is so much to experience. A must do!
