Travel Tidbit

Vancouver Island can be accessed by ferry from the mainland of British Columbia at the BC Ferry terminals in Horseshoe Bay (west Vancouver to Nanaimo’s Departure Bay) or Tsawwassen (Vancouver to Duke Point, south of Nanaimo, or to Swartz Bay in Victoria). Victoria is less than a 2 hour drive south of Nanaimo.

You can also fly from Vancouver airport to the Nanaimo airport, or you can hop a float plane from downtown Vancouver to downtown Nanaimo. Getting here is half the fun! The ferry rides are a great way to witness some of the spectacular scenery that this area has to offer and whales have been sighted!
