Visiting Vancouver, Canada

[JanetRose]

I was told once that you can take a ferry from Seattle to Vancouver where you will be dropped off at a hotel from where you can take a tour bus.

Does anyone know what hotel that is? Thanks!

There's no ferry from Seattle to Vancouver. There is a summer ferry to Victoria on Vancouver Island.

There is also a ferry from Seattle to Victoria (Vancouver Island) that puts you right in Victoria Harbor, in front of the Empress Hotel. Several tours are based out of that area, plus a lot of points of interest within walking distance there. Tours go out to Butchart Gardens (about 20 mi, I think), a converted quarry full of local flora.

Since you're asking for the hotel, and knowing that the ferries go to Victoria on Vancouver Island....

Victoria Hotel?


Tourism Victoria website's page of business listings for tours.


Just in case it was Vancouver you wanted (perhaps someone took the ferry to Victoria then got to Vancouver city), Vancouver's tourism website.


And in case you are in Seattle and just want to get to Vancouver but don't want to drive...we love Amtrak for that.
