Nanaimo boasts one of the prettiest waterfonts on Canada, located on the east coast of Vancouver Island. With its convenient location only 25 minutes from downtown Vancouver via Sea Plane. Nanaimo is also 110 kms north of Victoria, our provincial capital.
Incorporated in 1874, Nanaimo is the third oldest city in British Columbia, and second largest on Vancouver Island. A former coal mining town, Nanaimo has evolved into something different, with a clean accessable waterfront, cultural festivals in the summer, a university campus with marvelous views and superb dining. The bustling harbour is the central focus for visitors to Nanaimo and pleasure boats, freighters, fishing boats, tugboats and barges, sail boats and float planes all coming and going in a hive of activity. |
