How to get to Gabriola Island from Nanaimo

There are over 20 sailing times a day from Nanaimo Harbour to Descanso Bay on Gabriola Island. See the schedule here. The route is first-come first-served and takes 20 minutes to get across. The last ferry leaves Gabriola Island at 10:30pm.

Gabriola History

Known as Petroglyph Island, a nickname acquired because of its wealth of ancient native stone carvings, Gabriola Island is one of the enchanting Gulf Islands of British Columbia.

The island’s name is derived from Punta de Gaviota (Cape Seagull), the name given by the Spanish to the southeastern part of the island in 1791. This name was later corrupted to Gaviola and later to Gabriola. Other island names dating back to Spanish exploration of the Strait of Georgia include Descanso Bay and Malaspina Galleries.

A pleasant rural setting of forested parks and quiet beaches, Gabriola’s residents enjoy a mild temperate climate, a relaxed lifestyle and a strong sense of community. Picturesque roads lead to sensational ocean views, and the sandstone shoreline can be walked almost indefinitely. The population is concentrated on the north and south ends of the island, with a friendly rivalry enjoyed between north and south islanders.

Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast

After spending 15 years on Gabriola Island my wife and I have started calling this place Fantasy Island. Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast could have been the name for our B & B but unfortunately that would confuse it with Fantasy Island the 1978 TV show. So Gabriola Bed and Breakfast took the prize.

Contact us today!

What makes Gabriola Island Fantasy Island?

Situated a short twenty minute ferry ride from Nanaimo, or a twenty minute plane ride from Vancouver it is easy to get here. Yet, that short trip over separates you from the hustle and bustle. A quiet place of rural beauty and forrest awaits. Great beaches with oceanside walks. Numerous hiking and walking trails. Many parks to explore.

Go for a walk at Drumbeg Park while staying at Gabriolabnb, Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast
Drumbeg Park is 5 minutes away from “Fantasy Island Bed and Breakfast” AKA Gabriolabnb.com

Reason #1

Today I’ll talk about Drumbeg Provincial Park. One of three provincial parks on Gabriola Island, Drumbeg is a favourite spot for diving, hiking, nature viewing and picnicking. Overlooking scenic Gabriola Passage on the east end of the Island, Drumbeg offers excellent views of the Strait of Georgia and the Coast Mountains on the Mainland. The park contains a kilometre long sand and pebble beach with striking sandstone and conglomerate rock formations, which can be seen at low tide.

Natural Beauty

Did you know Drumbeg Park protects endangered Garry oak ecosystems. And undeveloped Douglas fir forest landscapes and a diverse marine zone. Species such as Bald eagles, Great Blue herons, harbour seals and American oystercatchers can be spotted here, along with a number of intertidal creatures. Underwater enthusiasts can dive from the shores of the park. Yes you can head out to Rogers reef by boat. Of course, you can still stay out of the strong currents that run through Gabriola Passage.

Things To at Our Bed and Breakfast on Gabriola Island

Gabriola is a charming island shaped by over 200 artists and artisans who call it home. Known as the “Isle of the Arts”, it’s a unique destination for those who appreciate artistry and craftsmanship and is just a short ferry ride away from Nanaimo.

Although its close location to Nanaimo may make it feel more commercial compared to other Gulf Islands, its art scene, impressive sights and fun activities make it worth visiting if you’re travelling around Vancouver Island. With Gabriola’s expanded ferry service, getting to the island is easier than ever and can be done as a day trip from Nanaimo.
