I WENT ON A 15 HOUR FERRY RIDE | BC Ferries Port Hardy to Prince Rupert EP2

[@maeganbyerley]

I remember in 1994 my family did this huge road trip of BC. We made it to Prince Rupert late. The next morning we got on the 15 hr cruise to Port Hardy, the ship was Queen Of The North. I spent a lot of time on the deck or looking out the windows. The part that stood out the most was watching dolphins jumping out of the water and trying to race the ship.

[@TravelWithTats]

That sounds like a fantastic trip. I wish I got to see dolphins!

Loved The Queen of the North. Tragic what happened to her.

This makes the Ferries in Nags Head look micro sized to that thing! It only takes about 1 to 2 hours to get to Ocracoke Island. (That's as of right now thanks to emergency dredging that has to be done). Of course, the Swan Quarter to Ocracoke Island is longer but there is a Toll for it. In Virginia, the Williamsburg to Surry ferry is only 30 min long. It's also next to the Surrey nuclear reactor where I catch three-eyed fish all the time.

I've lived on vancouver island most of my life and never took the port hardy ferry. We always just drove through BC to get to terrace. I wanna try this now!

[@TravelWithTats]

Oh you must. It’s to nice not having to drive. And with the gas prices the way they are. Taking the ferry is cheaper than driving.

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Since 2012, Vancouver BC has been my favorite place to visit. I would visit Victoria more often, if I didn't have to take long ferries, and wait in long ferry lines. Since 2007, I have wanted to drive from Prince Rupert to Prince George, and back down to Vancouver. I discovered this Inside Passage ferry ride before the pandemic! What seems cool, is that it includes a bedroom, shower, and sink, where I can take naps! I have only ONE flaw as a human being, but it's a big one: I'm not a dog person. I hear that dogs are allowed on certain decks. Did you deal with dogs, when you took this ferry? I'm afraid that I'm going to waste a lot of this trip SLEEPING! If I lie down on the bed, I'm going to zonk out!!

[@TravelWithTats]

No dogs allowed on the upper decks. Dogs have to stay in the vehicle. And every 3hrs they allow people a 15min window to go check on their pets. :)

@@TravelWithTats I haven't watched all of your videos, but will continue to do so. You went by car on the ferry, so I assume that you drove East from Prince Rupert to Prince George. Yes, the ferry food is expensive, but heck, so is the cruise itself! But, maybe I'll get some Japanese foods "that will last," like edamame or tofu (who cares if it's cold, just that one or two times) back in Vancouver, before I head over. Or better yet, Vancouver Island should have a couple of Wendy's along the way: I have to diet better, and Wendy's is my go to place. The chili, low in fat, high in fiber (fiber is missing in so many peoples' diets, which controls blood sugar), is palatable even when cold. Maybe, a couple of salads and chilis to take on the ferry, can spare me having to splurge on the ferry food (although, I hear it's good). And, there should be Wendy's from Prince Rupert to Prince George, where I can neutralize my inevitable bad eating in Vancouver: Osushi and omanju.

"no more fog, it's really pretty" so are you!

[@korymwoodllc]

We used to live in Rupert. I was hoping to see your vlog on touring Rupert. Thanks for the video.

[@TravelWithTats]

I had filmed in Prince Rupert and then all the footage got corrupted!! I was so upset. Prince Rupert is so cute

[@TheCollectiveSoulTarot]

Oh dear, that’s too bad… maybe another time.

[@VeeTravels]

This is one hell of a ferry ride, damn!

[@TravelWithTats]

Sure was!

[@VeeTravels]

@@TravelWithTats Good job though! I would appreciate if you check out my recent travel videos by the way.

[@VeeDriving]

Funny how the TV in your cabin didn't work. I have never seen a TV do that color thing.

[@Kletke84]

I know one of the captains on those ferries. She runs an extremely clean ship. 5:09

[@mgjbutler]

I live just four hours from Prince Rupert. You missed the turn off to where I'm at up the Channel to Kitimat. Much prettier than Prince Rupert but I may be biased.

[@TravelWithTats]

I made a short trip to Kitimat. But didn’t film it haha. It is quite beautiful

[@brandonpeniuk]

Hey thanks for sharing. Great vlog. See you next time.

[@TravelWithTats]

Appreciate it, thank you! Until next time! 😊😊

[@lqdinfo6200]

Wow nice view of the mountains! Safe travels 🙏! Have a great week! Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦Canada... Ontario!

[@TravelWithTats]

Thank you so much!!

[@d.s.mellen4241]

I don’t understand the point of this trip if you spent so much time in your room and advise people to bring things like games, movies, etc. With all that spectacular scenery, isn’t the point of the trip to be outdoors (or at least sitting by a window), enjoying it? The ship looked pretty empty. Any time I’ve been fortunate to be on a BC Ferry, they’ve been very crowded.

[@CKsoundwave]

Keep up the awesome esome work! I just saw this video

[@TravelWithTats]

Thank you and welcome :)

[@jjjwbm]

Thanks for making this video, the no wifi thing is great to know. So I’m curious, on the way back with no cabin how did that go? Think you could pull off a stealth camp in the van? Haha

[@TravelWithTats]

We were very lucky and were able to score some cabins. (We had put our name on the waitlist). And it is possible to pull a “stealth camp”. But google “2006 BC ferries Disaster”. May change your mind

[@jjjwbm]

@@TravelWithTats huh, I heard of one of the ferry's sinking but I didn't know it was on that exact route. That's crazy.

[@Lynckk]

Great channel!! :) Greetings from Sooke!

[@TravelWithTats]

Helloo!!! Thank you and welcome 🤗

[@spyderativ2438]

If you bring your pet, where can we put him

[@TravelWithTats]

Pets have to be left in your vehicle. And there’s announcements every 3 hours or so allowing you to go back to you vehicle. That is when you could give potty breaks, food or water.

[@barontaylor7139]

North Sydney to Port Aux Basque is just as long

[@TravelWithTats]

It really was! ☺️☺️

Time for a bridge

Absolutely awesome commentary!

Hahah thank you

Japan ferry ride is much better!😆

Is there wifi

[@TravelWithTats]

No wifi :(

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Is your mother First Nations? Nice-looking lady!

[@TravelWithTats]

Latina. Haha. She’s flattered

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

@@TravelWithTats Nice! Maybe, it's because of my time mostly in Vancouver, but I perceive that there isn't a large Latino/Latinx population in British Columbia. At least, not compared to East Indian and Persian. I began to realize over the past few years, that if I travel deeper into Canada, I will see a LOT of First Nations people, not just Caucasian (as I initially perceived).

[@superhussein]

is sexual assault common on this ferry?
