Please note that the Laurel Point Inn is a non-smoking hotel, as are most hotels in British Columbia. Addresses for Youth Hostels and nearby alternative hotels will be provided with the registartion package. However, note that the Laurel Point Inn has confirmed a very competitive rate for us. The city of Victoria is located at the extreme west of British Columbia, on the Pacific Ocean. The climate in May is variable, and can range from 10 to 20 C, with occasional rain and wind.
Travellers can arrive at Victoria by a number of routes.
The simplest is to arrive at Victoria International Airport, which is a short distance from the city by limousine. Flight arrangements are least expensive if Victoria is designated as the flight terminus. Alternatives to Victoria are Vancouver International Airport, and then travelling to Vancouver Island by Ferry. Remember that Victoria is on Vancouver Island, but the City of Vancouver is not. Finally, the most complex route is to arrive in Seattle, then take either a shuttle flight to Victoria, or a ferry from Seattle to Victoria.
