Nanaimo Transportation
Take the ferry less travelled to Nanaimo, or simply drive in on the Trans-Canada Highway from Victoria. You can add a lot to your vacation by discovering the wide variety of Nanaimo transportation opportunities both in and out of the city. Nanaimo's location near the middle of Vancouver Island, just 35 kilometres across the Strait of Georgia from Vancouver, means you can get here easily by land, sea, or air. You're sure to find Nanaimo transportation options that will meet your travel needs every time.
Many people arrive in Nanaimo via BC Ferries, which operates two major terminals in Nanaimo, with sailings all day between Duke Point and Tsawwassen, and Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay. There's also a regional airport in Cassidy just south of the city, offering continuous air service to Vancouver and dozens of major cities across Western Canada. For the quickest passage between downtown Vancouver and downtown Nanaimo, catch a 5 minute float plane ride across the Georgia Strait. Nanaimo also has an extensive transit system, rail service, and several taxi companies to get you quickly from point A to point B.
