This ferry service deserves five stars!!Although the Grand Manan Adventure is a little bit better than the Grand Manan V, they are both OUTSTANDING and give a great ride. If you are prone to seasickness, you may not get seasick, as it is a smooth crossing. Even if there are waves, you usually do not feel them, as the boat is so big. There is sometimes a weird tipping feeling, but the ferry is not actually tipping, at least not too much. It may feel weird to walk when it is choppy, or tippy, so sit in their comfortable seats. There is a cafe on board, and there are clean restrooms, and and an amazing outdoor deck. There is a gift shop, and game room on the Grand Manan Adventure (there is a small gift shop on the Grand Manan V). Dogs are allowed on the outside deck, or in the car, not inside. There is room for trailers, trucks, and cars of any size. The staff are helpful with parking.$300 is ridiculous for a whale watch, right? Well, you won't be paying that on this ferry; you can see whales RIGHT FROM THE FERRY!!! They sometimes come up close. Seals, and dolphins can be seen as well, and are pretty common.If you have a fear of water, sit in the middle. This boat is safe, and in case of an emergency, there are islands close by. If you get seasick, you probably won't, but if the waves are going to be high, prepare for it just in case.

Leaving Blacks Harbour the day was beautiful, sunny and clear, we saw dolphins, a whale. I loved the trip over to Grand Manan, could see far away in the distance. Very relaxing...

Bought a map of Grand Manan that shows all the shipwrecks. Staff reopened the gift shop for me!!! Cheaper ferry ride than expected!

My experience heading over was strange as I didn’t get on the ferry I was in the line up with one car in front of me. Then that car left and drove out I thought that was strange. Then the cars and people were honking at me waving at me to go!Umm go where the staff had all boarded the ferry and the car that was in front of me was long gone! So I drove to the ferry. Well that was not what I was supposed to do. So by the time I got back to the till I was way behind and back to stand by traffic hoping I make the next ferryWell I did make it on thank goodness. I come from Vancouver Island in BC and we don’t go around back to the till we just move forward in traffic.No reservation fee so I highly recommend that and you only pay when leaving grand manan. I sat on the very top deck outside and had a great rest of my trip!

A nice relaxing boat ride to the island with great views and sometimes you can see seals in the water. The boat has lots of seating arrangements and access to the upper deck. The crew is welcoming and the cafeteria is nice too. Definitely a good day trip to get away from your busy life.

The 1.5 hour trip flew by quickly. The ferry staff were friendly and hospitable!! When asked, they answered all my curious questions. Beautiful and peaceful ride and making reservations is a great service. It’s nice to be able to walk freely onboard. I’ll be back!!

Great price. Comfortable and clean. Great service from staff.Note: we took the ferry only to see the lighthouse. Unfortunately as of august 2023 it was being renovated so you can’t see it. We turned around and took the next ferry back.

It's a beautiful ferry ride. No fee to ride to the Island, you pay on your way back. There are 2 ships going. It's about 2 hour crossing each way. You park in the bottom and move freely throughout the ship. There is a cafeteria style restaurant. You can hang out inside or on the top deck. Dress warm. It's very windy on deck.

The staff were amazing. I was looking at the glass on the beach, and didn't get back to the car on time, because I was walking with a cane, so I called my wife and asked her if she would drive the car on the ferry, and I will meet her shortly.The officer guiding the cars onto the ferry, noticed me walking with my cane, and had his driver take me to meet my wife. I have never seen service like that in a long time. I would give 10 stars if I could.Thank you to the officer for helping me get on the ferry. I'll never forget your kindness. When I came back from Grand Manan, I saw the officer again as I drove off the ferry, and waved. He waved back.

On time, affordable, and they have a fully functional canteen with pretty decent food. And they are smoking sections out on deck with butt cans. Coffee, and comfortable seating.Has wifi, but the signal is pretty weak.Definitely a nice ferry ride.
