About the Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen ferry
The Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen ferry is the return leg of BC Ferries' busiest route, carrying Victoria-area residents and visitors back to the Metro Vancouver mainland. Sunday afternoons and holiday returns are the classic pinch points — sailings often fill for hours and reservations sell out days in advance.
This page shows live BC Ferries current conditions for every scheduled Swartz Bay → Tsawwassen sailing today, with vehicle-deck fill percentages updated every five minutes. If you can see a later sailing has room, you can plan around a full one.
The crossing takes about 1 hour 35 minutes. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly on weekends and long-weekend Mondays.
