Getting Here

Vacation Homes BC properties are located on Central Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We are just across the Georgia Strait from Metropolitan Vancouver and all the wonderful sites that it has to offer, including the famous Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain ski resort area, just two hours from the city.

There are many ways to get here, depending on where you are coming from. You can fly into Vancouver and spend some time in this wonderful city first or fly directly into Victoria or Nanaimo Airports. By bus or car from Vancouver, we are only a 90-minute ferry ride away. Travelers on foot can take a 15-minute seaplane, which lands in Nanaimo harbour or ride the Harbourlynx fast ferry both departing from downtown Vancouver.

Once on Vancouver Island, all roads lead to the region. Centrally located, it is easy by land, air or water. By car it's just minutes North of Nanaimo Ferry Terminal, or a scenic two-hour drive from Victoria. Want to rent a car on the Island? We have several car rental agencies ready to assist.

Vacation homes BC will assist you in anyway we can to advise the best way to get here. Here are some helpful travel phone numbers, sites and maps.
