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.

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..

to ensure you are not over their limit for luggage. Generally the
Helicopter services restrict luggage to 50 lb per person.
