Victoria, B.C.
Port Angeles is only 18 miles across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the city of Victoria, the capital of British Columbia.
Port Angeles has two ferries that service the city of Victoria. The Black Ball Transport MV Coho is a vehicle and passenger ferry with daily departures. The Victoria Express provides passenger-only fast service with daily departures to Victoria and Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands from May to October.
A decidedly British feeling is ever present in this charming city to the North. While you're there, explore the beauty of world famous Butchart Gardens or stroll around the picturesque Inner Harbor. Spend your afternoon touring on a double decker bus and sipping tea at the majestic Empress Hotel. For the more adventurous, hop aboard a wave skimmer and go whale watching. The world famous Royal British Columbia Museum offers walk-through towns, history, and the I-Max theater.
Remember that Victoria is in Canada, so you will be crossing an international border and identification for Customs and Immigration is required. Travelers are encouraged to carry a passport if available. U.S. and Canadian citizens may carry a valid drivers license and an original or certified copy of a birth certificate. If you are not a citizen of the U.S. or Canada, you are required to carry a valid passport and/or the appropriate visa.
