Victoria Travel Guide (Victoria, Southern British Columbia)

There are three ways to reach Vancouver Island - by bus and ferry, car and ferry, or air. Most people travelling under their own steam from Vancouver use the first means, which is a simple matter of buying an all-inclusive through-ticket to Victoria. More involved crossings to other points on the island, however, whether from the Canadian or US mainlands, are worth considering if you wish to skip Victoria and head as quickly as possible to Port Hardy for the Inside Passage ferry connections, or to Strathcona or the Pacific Rim parks. You can also reach Victoria directly from Vancouver Airport by inclusive coach and ferry arrangements .
