Black Ball Ferry Line is also running its Coho ferry between Victoria and Port Angeles, Washington.
It resumed service on November 8, 2021, after its final sailing back in March 2020. One-way fares for adult passengers start at $21 USD, and you can pay extra to bring your car or bike.
Travellers are still subject to both US and Canada’s COVID-19 travel regulations. Still, an alternative way to get from Vancouver Island to Washington is back on the table for travel in and around BC in 2022.
