Getting to Victoria is easy. Call us when you’re ready to book your trip and we will assist you planning a route that is both efficient and affordable. Remember we are on an island so travel takes just a little more time. You will find it worth the trip!

From the Victoria International Airport you can take a taxi, shuttle, or public transit to Ambrosia B&B, as it is right in the heart of downtown. The trip takes about 30 minutes. You can also rent a car at the airport. Call us at Ambrosia for discounted rates on car rentals and taxis. We will take care of all your arrangements.

Most services and attractions are less than 10 minutes’ walk form Ambrosia, so if your activities are focused around the inner harbour you may decide not to rent a car. Other local transportation options include taxis, horse drawn carriages and pedicabs. There is of course public transit, and you can also rent bicycles, roller blades and motorized scooters just a few blocks away from Ambrosia.

Coming From Vancouver

Ferry Tip: (Plan at least a of a day for ferry travel). BC Ferries have the most sailings to and from the Island. Tsawwasen is located just south of Vancouver (50 km) and is easily reached from Seattle from interstate 5 or Highway 99 from Vancouver. You can make reservations for a particular ferry crossing which may save you hours waiting in line for the ferries. We strongly recommend this in the busy summer months and long weekends…

Seaplane and Helicopter Tip: Call and note luggage requirements to ensure you are not over their limit for luggage. Generally the Helicopter services restrict luggage to 50 lb per person.
