how much

a brawny?? how pretentious

I love the Hullo. The scenery is spectacular and it is downtown to downtown. Having gotten rid of my vehicle, it is so nice not to pay those fees, including gas.

The biggest problem with Hullo Ferries is that you can't contact them. No phone service, no online chat. You can send them an email and they will respond within 3 days. So if you're having trouble with the website, or want to inquire about sailing within the next 3 days, you're out of luck. It's very poor service and I have no idea why they can't at least staff a phone line.

I can't believe they have 3 "classes" of passengers for a 1:15 trip. "snack"? "Charging station"? "Wifi"? Sounds a bit presumptuous. I guess they have to justify the high cost. As a Senior, I get to walk on to BC ferry FOR FREE, with my bicycle, Tues - Thurs. I suspect Hullo doesn't have that.

I love leaving Nanaimo on the Hullo, sadly I have to return to Nanaimo all too often.

If you become an Evo Car Share member, there are always findable Toyota Hybrid vehicles around downtown for short trips within the home zone (it’s slowly expanding outside of Vancouver, and there is Evo Return in Nanaimo, now). They’re a very handy tool for getting around relatively cheaply, running errands, etc.

It’s useless. Just fly

This boat has made going to vancouver for canucks games feel like normal commute

City of Vancouver.

It might be useful to mention the cost of foot passengers doing the same route from Horseshoe Bay with the normal ferry. And the time it takes to get from downtown to Horseshoe Bay on the bus or car.

This video is awful. Bkk does not have first class lounge. It is shared between business and first class

I live in Victoria and Pacific Coastal offers a great service. Fun fact: The South Terminal was the original Vancouver Airport before the current international airport was built in the 1960s. I'm an old so I barely remember visiting the old airport as a child with my aunt, who worked there for Trans-Canada Airlines (now Air Canada).

The Hullo is a good option. It is, however, double the price for a foot passenger.

Oh God, how we hated the fast ferries built in Vancouver!

There is also a seniors rate which is very affordable. Took the ferry in January 2025 for a conference just steps away from the Vancouver terminal, very convenient. Very fast and they were definitely dodging logs in the water, and not missing all of these. Clearly was the low customer season when I went, and we were told after everyone boarded to just grab a window seat if no one was there, lower level of course only. The office on the Vancouver side may not be open all the time since the staff also are down where the boat docks.

Yes. Very unimpressive service. I like your video though

I hate how much it costs to take the ferries. They say it's fuel cost etc. But what about the huge salaries the ceo takes home. Fuck off. Greedy twats

seriously, for those who frequently travel between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, do you really need to see the scenic beauty every time you travel? I'm a graduate from UVic and used to travel back and forth almost weekly, after a while, I just stopped looking outside or going out on the deck unless I want some fresh air. I just want to get to my destination asap, that means the boat ride as well as the travel to the ferry terminal.

Too slow. The ferry between Hong Kong and Macau is much faster. The harbour traffic there is much more crowded than Vancouver. So far, no collision after decades of operation.

Average Speed Crossing Georgia Strait ?

'Didn't see any bicycles on the ferry. Are there facilities for bikes?

BC Ferry foot passenger is $17, and you can do it in 2½ hours including bus to Horseshoe Bay. These private services have been tried and tried again and always go bankrupt after a few years.

I wish we had a ferry service in Victoria that was downtown to downtown.

I would love a similar service from downtown Victoria, or even from Swartz Bay to downtown Vancouver.

Are people starting to call Vancouver, Vancouver City? Or is that and English thing for downtown?

Thank you for this video. I plan to take it this Spring.

Signage to guide you approaching the terminal by car for drop-off/pick-up is non-existent. Tip: you have to drive circuitus around a gigantic imported new cars storage lot. Good luck.

i always prefer honest reviews, to dishonest reviews, of just about anything.

your accent is annoying

I remember when they built that staircase and elevator at the waterfront area of Vancouver. At the time I didn't know why they're building it. But many years later I see why. Many businesses use that area, like the float planes and now the hullo ferry.

If the ferry sinks, do the "higher classes" get in the lifeboats first?

interesting how "Honest Review" has become an international symbol for nothing to see here

Our Experiences with Hullo sound very similar. It’s a wonderful option for Vancouverites! On a separate note; your audio dipping is really aggressive and it’s quite jarring when listening with headphones. As a former audio engineer I’d recommend lowering your max level and raising your minimum level for your background music. Also try minimizing your small pauses in between spoken segments- the sudden burst of music between them is quite distracting. Loved the content and you have a wonderful speaking voice. Keep up the good work!

I think it is an excellent service and much needed, the boats are very good at managing any seas that are present, now we just need to expand their services.

The 257 express is awesome, this is the best bus out of Vancouver BC ,direct to the ferry terminal from downtown.

Just took Hullo ferry a couple months ago, it was awesome!!

BC Ferries introduced fast ferries similar to this just over 25 years ago, except that they sailed between the usual ferry landings and they carried cars. They proved to be a failure and weren't in service very long.

My Air Asia meals were extremely spicy as well.

HULLO not HELLO

if you wanna go to Van for a day trip,window shop,etc etc,the hullo ferry is the best way to go. Right to down town,no need for cabs or buses.

The most obvious benefit of this service is the downtown location in Vancouver. This location removes the additional time and transportation it takes to get the alternative BC Ferries terminal. With the understanding that this is a new service and has room to grow the Naniamo terminal could certainly use some weather protection for its passengers. Particularly if they are required to queue up while boarding. On that subject why does everyone need to board and disembark through one portal. This in itself is outdated. Has anyone ever witnessed how quickly a train in Europe empties. More doors please. 🙏 Also not mentioned in this video is the extra luggage limitation and charges that Hullo takes advantage of to increase revenue. Perhaps a little opportunistic. It is certainly a beneficial service and it would be upsetting if it failed but for the money people will have higher expectations too.

Only $10 or so more than the older ferry,and goes right downtown..it's no contest.

I have used the BC ferry many times as a walk on and have to say that you must not know how to use Vancouver transit. I am wheelchair user who lives in Nanaimo with a sailboat which I use to have moored in N.Van and would spend a lot of time there. The bus service is GREAT. Nanaimo, not so much but is getting better The only way HULU would let me buy a ticket is if I also paid for a companion to accompany me. I will NEVER be using them

Thanks for sharing, I wanted to try this ferry soon

The lounge in Nanaimo is for Helijet, but they allow Hullo passengers to use it if its not too busy.

Patrick you can always fly Harbour Air for a comparable price from mainland downtown to downtown terminals at 3 ports on Vancouver Island. They wouldn't have as many cancelations due to wind and wave.

Thanks, I was curious about this ferry but my pockets are too shallow.

faster to fly and you can't take vehicles on this tiny ferry

Years ago, the CP ran ferries from downtown Vancouver to downtown Nanaimo. They ran until late at night, so people here on the Island could enjoy concerts there and still get home. I remember lots of times we took that ferry.
