Seattle · VICTORIA & VANCOUVER DAY TRIPS
5 reviewed
A fast ferry or a floatplane puts British Columbia within a day of Seattle, whether you want Victoria’s harbour and gardens or Vancouver’s skyline. These are the best cross-border day trips, with how you travel, how long you get across the water, what is included, and the one thing to sort first: bring your passport.
Fast round-trip ferry from Seattle to Victoria with comfortable seating, on-board shopping, and easy access to the Inner Harbour.
“Easy to navigate. Beautiful city. However, we weren’t able to get the full experience of being on the deck due to weather. No one’s fault. Also some activities aren’t available during the week as they are on weekends. Maybe go on a weekend.”
Seattle to Vancouver day trip with a guided hit list: Stanley Park, Chinatown, Canada Place, Gastown, and Granville Island, plus optional FlyOver Canada.
“The tour to Canada and the multiple locations in the vicinity were beautiful! Our tour guide Mark kept us informed each and every step of the way. He was very polite, helpful, & knowledgeable. Even the passport process was easy and quick. I highly recommend this tour!”

Seattle to Vancouver in one day with a guide: Stanley Park, Canada Place, Gastown, and Granville Island plus optional FlyOver Canada 4D.
“WOW!!! The tour guide Mark was excellent! He did a great job narrating the tour. His driving was amazing. He even had water bottles and snacks for us. This is defintley one of the smoothest tours I’ve ever been on. I wanted to go through some of the things others negatively pointed out in other reviews. The van was VERY clean. The driving was perfect (I don’t even drive in Seattle and I lived there 20yrs). The price is excellent for what you’re getting- minimum of a ten hour day, being dropped off at all the curates must see spots, not having to park a car, breezing through customs etc.…”
