However do you really need to check in 90 minutes before departure (3pm sailing)?

And can anyone recommend any good lunch spots for a family - preferably with a play area that the kids can run around - in a sensible location in or very near Victoria?

Would consider eating in town but guess we need to be mindful of parking etc - will be a Saturday.

Thanks

That's certainly the most expensive way of getting there, but it probably beats a 4-hour (+border wait) drive.

If you have a reservation on the m.v. Coho you do have to show up 90 minutes prior to sailing in Victoria. I wouldn't risk it without a reservation.

Couple places to consider for lunch, both en route from the Swartz Bay terminal to Victoria:
