Entertain Your Guests
Spread the word about Nanaimo's finest attractions, and get to know a few new places yourself when friends and family come to visit. As a casual tour guide you can put a personal spin on things like sightseeing, downtown shopping, or a relaxing day at the beach - it's a great excuse to do something fun, and the time you spend showing your guests a good time is likely to be their favorite part of the trip.
Nanaimo also has a lot to offer if you're looking for something unique to show people. Memorable outdoor pursuits can range from scuba diving at several world-class reefs and beach sites, hiking and biking to spectacular views of the central island region and Georgia Strait. For a made-in-Nanaimo dining experience you can take a ten minute ferry from downtown to the Dinghy Dock Pub on Protection Island, Canada's only floating pub. Downtown Nanaimo also offers a wide variety of unique restaurants, shops and historic sites like the Bastion.
