Flight
Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
Easiest and generally cheapest options for flights. Once in Vancouver, there are two options to get to Nanaimo from Vancouver if you’re traveling by car: Taking the ferry heading to Duke Point (Nanaimo) from the Tsawwassen Ferry terminal. This is the closest ferry from the airport. Taking the Departure Bay ferry (Nanaimo) from the Horseshoe Bay terminal. Both ferries take around 2h to get to Nanaimo. We always book our ferry tickets in advance to make things easier.
Rental Car
Car Rentals from YVR
July is the peak season, so it's best to book car rentals in advance as some places might run out of options quickly.
