Getting Here

Located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria can be as much fun to get to as it is to explore once you are here. A little planning will make your journey more interesting.

We offer a section on passport and travel document requirements, for your convenience.

During peak seasons (holidays and summer months), it is suggested that you allow extra time for travel. Check out our Maps page for detailed maps of Vancouver Island and our distance calculator link for driving times and distances.

To assist with your transportation planning needs we have provided two main sections featuring travel options for how to get to Victoria and Vancouver Island in our Getting Here section and then, once you are here, information about Getting Around the city and area.
