Happened upon this when the GPS sent us a "shortcut" it was the best part of the weekend, felt like stepping back in time. Love every minute of the 20 minute ride.
For 1st time taking. I was very happy about price and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I will be taking again. Plus can goto thrifty to get tickets even cheaper. So looking forward to taking again
This should not be the first option to travel from the Schwartz Bay Ferry Terminal This ferry is not dependable costs money and not saving time The first option should be to use the Malahat to travel to northern Vancouver Island destinations
Cannot say too much about it aside from the fact that the sailings were canceled for the day when I arrived. I had to notify 5 cars ahead of my that they will need to drive as no boat is coming: (
The staff are sooooo friendly and helpful. One employee waves at every single car leaving and does it with a genuine heart. The ride between Mill Bay and Brentwood Bay is beautiful and very affordable. Seniors (Canadian citizens) walk on free from Monday to Thursday. That something you just don't see. Love you BC Ferry staff!
We were advised to use this little ferry by a local information centre in Duncan. It saved us a 50km main road journey through busy Victoria, on our way from Nainamo to Swartz Bay. The ferry only had three other vehicles on, and our RV Rental (27ft) went on very smoothly. The ticket and gate staff were very friendly and helpful and a lady we had git talking to paid for our transit with some vouchers she had! Saved us 41 Dollars! From the UK.what a beautiful country Canada is! Highly recommend!
Way to avoid the Malahat! We had a fantastic experience as I brought my youngest across. Very polite and outgoing.got lots of stickers my me little girl. Great short trip over
Love this little ferry. The staff on it are always great. It's super scenic and cuts out a big chunk of the not-so-pleasant drive around - and with fuel prices these days, the cost is almost a wash.
About what you would expect for a small ferry terminal but I didn't like that the place for walk on passengers was only a half cover, so since it was raining we still God sprayed a lot however it is cool that you can just pay for your ticket there with debit doesn't seem like cash is much of an option though
Just the basics don't need a lot of high fluten ticket booths, Just a nice simple place place to be the beginning of a super great little voyage most enjoyable enjoyable always a great experience never get rid of the mill Bay Brentwood ferry it's priceless
Great way to get across the inlet quickly and avoid the dense traffic and drive over the Malahat. Highly recommend you take the time to enjoy this quick scenic boat trip across the water and drink in the ocean breeze.
I arrived here from Brentwood bay ferry terminal, it is a nice little trip both ways! Was quite relaxed as a foot passenger, as many travel and stay in their car. Great views:)
I like catching the ferry home when I'm working in Sidney. It eliminates the worst part of the drive home, and you can grab a drink and/or a meal if you like and wait and watch the Ferry come in
