We are excited to have you join us on Vancouver Island for our wedding. Traveling to the Island can take some planning and we hope these tips will make it a little easier for you!
A few options to consider when planning your trip to the Island:
If you are traveling from Vancouver, the BC Ferry route is Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal to Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal (Vancouver to Victoria)
We strongly encourage you to make a reservation as summer months and weekends can be extremely busy. If reservations are fully booked or you choose not to make one, no worries! 55% of the vessel is for "first-come" or non-reservations, but you may have to wait a sailing (or two), so make sure you plan your ferry travel time accordingly!
There are two international airports to choose from:
1. The closest is Victoria International Airport (YYJ).
2. The second is Vancouver International Airport (YVR). It is a bit further and requires you to take BC Ferries.
You may want to rent a car from the airport to get around time. We recommend reserving a car rental at the same time as booking your flight since car rentals are very popular during the summer months.
Driving from YVR (Vancouver International Airport) + ferry travel will take approximately 3 hours 15 minutes to the venue, and 3 hours to Victoria.
Driving from YYJ (Victoria International Airport) will take 1 hour to the venue, and 30 minutes to Victoria.
Victoria now has Uber!
