Located on the east coast of southern Vancouver Island about 70 miles north of Victoria, Nanaimo is a conveniently located customs stop for almost all of Kenmore Air's northbound seasonal seaplane flights up the Inside Passage. But this utilitarian function should not obscure Nanaimo's status as a worthy destination in its own right. Not only does this second-largest city on Vancouver Island occupy a beautiful seaside setting and boast its own vibrant arts and culture scene, but it is also a wonderful gateway for exploring all parts of Vancouver Island. With big-city amenities, small-town charm and — of course — wonderful accessibility via Kenmore Air, Nanaimo offers many reasons to visit . . . and to return. For more information on Nanaimo and its environs, visit Tourism Nanaimo. Seaplane flights to Nanaimo Harbour can be booked from Kenmore Air Harbor in North Seattle or from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with a nominally priced shuttle connection.
