From Port Angeles, a pair of ferries—the MV Coho, carrying cars and passengers ($33 per car one-way, plus $9 per person; 360/457-4491); and the faster, summer-only Victoria Express, carrying passengers only ($12.50 per person each way; 360/452-8088 or 800/633-1589)—shuttle across the water to and from pretty Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia, one of Canada’s most popular destinations. Both ships leave Port Angeles at the middle of the attractively landscaped waterfront, and arrive very near the center of Victoria, making for a great day-trip from either place. At the Port Angeles dock there’s a very helpful information center packed with maps and brochures on Victoria and the rest of B.C., or you can call Tourism Victoria at 800/663-3883.
