About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Q9668XQkierans0 contributionsOk but could be better.Took the connector service from Victoria to Vancouver International Airport. The service is convenient in that it took you on board the ferry and then on to the airport. The only issue is that as we drove off the ferry at Vancouver, we (and our bags) were transferred off the comfy coach to a small bus that was rickety - I believe the shocks in it need to be changed.Written November 10, 2024
- 959marlenes0 contributionsPerfect and Hassle freePerfect no-hassle way to get from your cruise ship to Victoria. We’d do it again. Bus was clean - ride was comfortable and dropped us off where we needed to be within walking distance of our hotel. Better than a cabWritten October 24, 2024
- Triflyer0 contributionsExpensiveI paid CAD 100 more than I have paid if I had used the subway to get to the ferry terminal instead. I think the price was exorbitant for the value this service provided for me. While returning from Victoria I used the public transport route and I did not consider any less comfortable. Everyone rides the same ferry eventually. I would not use this service again. The driver was however extremely friendly and offered helpful tips. Full marks to him.Written September 9, 2024
- reedma20160 contributionsVery smooth service - highly recommendedI just want to echo what a previous reviewer said about today’s (8 September) morning transfer from Victoria to Vancouver. The service works very well and i highly recommend it but I especially want to thank our driver, James, who was excellent. He was very helpful, gave us very clear information (with the right amount of humour) and was simply outstanding. Thank you JamesWritten September 8, 2024
- Tom D0 contributionsTransport home !Absolutely superb . We’re heading home today to Ireland after 4 weeks in wonderful Alaska and Canada . James was our driver and he was so efficient it was amazing thank you James . He explained how the system worked and told us about the quiet lounge on deck 6 of the sprit if ??? . It was perfect . We’re here in Vancouver international airport having lunch and waiting to check in , thank you so much . A lady looked after us with our booking in the office I’m sorry I didn’t get her name but so helpful . Take a bow you deserve it and thank youWritten September 8, 2024
- richardpI6222CT0 contributionsThey do a great job!Outstanding service. Have never been on a ferry nearly as large as a cruise ship. Very smooth passage, great views, nice facilities and very well organized.Written September 8, 2024
- Linda A0 contributionsVictoria to VancouverGreat experience… the bus was nice and the ferry ride was outstanding! Ed, our bus driver and host was very helpful and informative! He was great!!! In fact, my husband left his favorite jacket above our seat on the bus … After realizing we had left it behind, we called the customer service number and discovered that Ed had taken it into lost and found for us to retrieve there at the bus station!!! My husband was very excited to get his jacket back! Thank you Ed!Written September 3, 2024
- maryjok7120 contributionsBus and Ferry an economical, convenient and comfortable trip.This is a great service. We had been on a cruise, and disembarked in Victoria. We took a taxi from the port to downtown Victoria. After a short wait, we were able to board the bus which took us directly to the ferry. Once on the ferry, we got off the bus and went to one of the upper decks. There were comfortable seats and it was a lovely trip. Upon arrival in Vancouver, we went down to the bus, got back on board and it took us to the Pacific Central Station. There were other possible stops, including the airport.Written August 22, 2024
- melindaf9180 contributionsGreat transfer from Vancouver to Victoria.The transport was comfortable, convenient & cost effective we really enjoyed the views from the ferry. The bus depot was close to our accommodation so it worked very well for usWritten August 10, 2024

- DrMajdah0 contributionsExcellent ExperienceThe experience was excellent both the coach part and the ferry. On time and excellent service. Highly recommend it as a travel mode between Vancouver and VictoriaWritten November 19, 2023
- keiwingm0 contributionsStrange “BC Ferries Connector” Route at Vancouver DowntownA bit disappointed to me when BC ferries connector unable to arrive at my destination (Vancouver Fairmont) timely for a journey from Victoria to Vancouver. It is over 30mins late! I felt very annoyance for many added stops (never informed in advance) before the coach entered into Vancouver downtown. Also the route within Vancouver downtown was strange. Vancouver Fairmont is planned to be the last stop of four. However, the coach did pass the Vancouver Fairmont after the 1st stop in downtown. Few persons including me forced to do a city adventure (2nd and 3rd stops) with the ride. I don’t care if it did not cause me late to arrive destination,Written October 20, 2023
- hazban0 contributionsIt's just so convenient.If you have not got your own car this is the best way to get to and from the Island. Convenient pickup for us directly outside our two hotels, Fairmont Waterfront and Empress, which was bang on the stated time. The coach is first on and first off the ferry but you are given plenty of time to explore the boat, have some food and enjoy the scenery. Only negative comment, and a big minus, is that the smaller bus we transferred to on the return to YVR airport was in a very poor condition. It was dirty and the seats very badly stained, looked more like transport for construction workers than coach passengers. Otherwise would recommend the service.Written September 19, 2023
- 325jalenb0 contributionsExpensivePrice have gone up significantly these past few years especially post pandemic. It's basically cheaper for you to drive there if you have a group of 2 or 3 going together. Buses are old compared to other bus services and not on schedule for my trip.Written September 7, 2023

This worked out to be a great option for us. It was reasonably priced and a very simple and stress-free process. We turned up where and when we supposed to, and got taken to where we needed to be!
The coach driver was helpful and polite. The coach was on time and comfortable.
Would definitely use this company again.
Also did the return journey and the driver was happy to accommodate a change in drop-off point.

We had never been to the Canadian Northwest befoe and making the trip from Vancouver to Victoria vis the bus and ferry was a breeze. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is not familiar with the area, does not want to bother with a car and wants to make the trip worry-free.

We used the connector to get from the Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver to the bus station in Victoria. The driver was excellent and kept us informed at all times. The coach stopped at the Pacific Central Station to use the facilities. On the way from there to the ferry terminal at Tsawwassen we got held up in traffic. The driver was in communication with the ferry and fortunately we made it - the last vehicle to get on the boat.
The driver was very clear about when we needed to get back on the coach before departure from Swartz Bay. The fact that you get off and on the bus whilst on the ferry makes it a very easy journey
We also used the service to get from Victoria to Tsawassen. Again excellent service all our bags were tagged at Victoria and we got back on the coach as the ferry embarked at Tsawassen. The coach drove off the ferry and parked just outside the ferry terminal. All we had to do was collect our bags and walk through into the ferry terminal.
Highly recommended to get between Vancouver and Victoria.

I booked the bus Connector from Vancouver to Victoria, BC, for 8/28/2019. It is a direct bus transportation between the 2 cities almost from door to door depending in which hotel you are staying. Going to Victoria was not a problem. I boarded the shuttle bus outside Holiday Inn as scheduled. The driver collected more passengers until we reached the bus depot where all of us got off and boarded the big bus for the ferry. Upon arrival, the bus parked on the first level of the ferry and we went upstairs seating on superior decks where the restaurant and gift store were located. Upon arrival at Victoria in the big bus, again we reached the bus depot and boarded a shuttle to reach our individual accommodation. Now going back on 8/31/2019 it was a different scenario. The shuttle came to pick me up as scheduled at my accommodation in Victoria and we got off again at the bus depot where we boarded the big bus till we reached the port for the ferry. The ferry crossing time was approximately one hour. Upon arriving in Vancouver, the bus started dropping the passengers and stopping at the airport. Later, the bus made a stop at the bus stop and I got off as I did it atg previous times. The driver called Ken instructed me to ride a bus or the train. I was stunned. I told him that I would have to be dropped at the Holiday Inn as per requested. Then, he requested me to return to my seat in a very rude manner. I had 2 bags and it was difficult for me to carry them up and down the stairs. He never tried to help me. He should have notified us with his microphone to remain on the bus. It took 1 1/2 hr. for exclusively dropping all passengers to their accommodation much more than the cruise crossing time. I was the last one to get off and it was 10h00 PM.
When I booked the trip, I was told that I would be back at 9h00 PM at my accommodation. The employee never mentioned to me the stop at the airport. If I knew, I could have taken with me my bag and also be dropped at the airport upon returning to Vancouver instead of going on my own later. As mentioned above, the driver called Ken was not at all courteous. I called the company to get a refund for the way back and they denied it. They told me that will speak to the staff involved in that transaction but that won't solve the issue.
The cost of that bus round trip CA$171.94 was not cheap when the cost of the ferry one-way would be approx. CA$17.00 as I was told. To reach the port located far from Vancouver downtown, the train and 2 buses would be needed. And that why I decided to use the Connector bus. I think it would be shorter and cheaper to use the public transportation on the way back from Victoria to Vancouver. I was told that the stop at the airport is not a routine one. We also did not stop at the airport on our way to Victoria. The more the bus would be full, the more time it would take to drop all passengers.
I did not perform searches prior to leave and decided to use that bus company offering transportation door to door. Take the time to research the trip and ask the company employee what is the bus trip status for the time you wish to use it.

This is a fantastic service! Picked up at hotel and no issues at all on the trip. As a bonus there is a short stop at the Old Train Station in Vancouver, we were excited to see it.
