Easy parking right at the boat, simple check-in and loading. Super friendly crew and the Captain seems to know the names of every place and animal along the way. The boat is very comfortable and there is a lot of room to move around or sit back and relax. The food is fabulous and the full bar is a nice... More

Just returned from the trip to Victoria. The boat holds about 130 people the captain said, although our group of total passengers was 34 that day. Our outbound trip was beautiful until we were fogged in for the rest of the way. The waters were calm and it was very peaceful. Not much to do other than look out the... More

I took the Victoria Star in September 2009 and had the greatest trip. There is a certain old-fashioned feel to travelling this way that made it quite fun. The crew on both the outbound and return trips were excellent. The captains were knowledgable and shared info about local history and ecology. On the outbound trip, we saw many, many Orcas.... More
