Question

Which is the best ferry from Vancouver to victoria?

Answer 1

There is only one ferry, the BC Ferries one. You can go from Tsawwassen(near Vancouver) to Swartz Bay(near Victoria).  There is also a BC Ferry from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Departure Bay in Nanaimo, and that's about a 2 hour drive from Victoria. Depending what part of Vancouver you're leaving from, the total trip can be not much different in time for each of those routes. The ferry trip itself is almost exactly the same duration for both routes. The Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay route is a little more scenic since you pass through the Gulf Islands.

Answer 2

If you are driving, you drive to Tsawwassen (in Delta) and it lets you out on Vancouver island north of Victoria.

If you are taking public transportation, there are regular buses that take you from the Pacific Central Station to the ferry and then directly to downtown Victoria.

You can also catch a float plane from Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver direct to the Inner Harbour in Victoria.
