Blackball Ferry

The Blackball Ferry is the same vessel as the Coho Ferry from Port Angeles WA to Victoria BC Canada. The trip across takes about an hour and 40 minutes.

Tips for Travelers:

  •  If possible make a reservation in peak tourist times.
  •  Many folks facing long waits on the US side leave their car in the parking that is available on the US side and walk on the ferry.
    •  Cars are not really necessary in Victoria as the ferry comes right into the downtown area and we have great transit and tour buses.
  •  Be prepared to visit both US Customs and Canada Customs on the same trip.
  • Try and stay with us at Gingerbread Cottage Bed and Breakfast - which is located right up Oswego St from the Blackball/ Coho ferry dock, an easy walk of about 8-10 minutes. Call 1-877-767-2121 for bookings or email
    • Vanessa makes the world's best Austrian Apple Strudel so if you can book your stay with us. We want to spoil you.
  • Book your Whale Watching tour with SeaKing Adventures located on the dock at Fisherman's Wharf just a short walk from the Gingerbread Cottage - Captain Ron gives our guests a discount.

Make sure to check the current schedules and ID requirements on the Blackball Ferry / Coho Ferry website.

Vanessa von Schellwitz

Coming to Canada from Salzburg Austria, Gingerbread has been a big part of my life since early childhood.

Gingerbread has a long history, since medieval times it has been used because of its ability to stay fresh and wholesome for long periods of time, thus making it possible to take on early voyages and pilgrimages.

Today, I own and operate the Gingerbread Cottage, Bed and Breakfast in Victoria British Columbia Canada and work with my favorite Austrian foods- Book your stay today!

We hope to hear from you!
