Directions

If you are coming to Victoria from Seattle or Washington State, you have numerous options by air or ferry.  By air, you can fly from SeaTac to Victoria International Airport on many regularly scheduled flights.  It is also possible to take scheduled flights from Lake Union to Victoria's Inner Harbour.  Helijet, North America's first ever transborder International scheduled helicopter service, Helijet International Inc.  links Victoria B.C. with the Emerald City of Seattle, Washington..  By ferry, you can drive north to Tsawwassen, Canada and  enjoy one of North America's most scenic  routes on the highly esteemed BC Ferries.  Reservations can be made but are not required.  There is also a ferry service from Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula to Victoria's Inner Harbour.

If you are coming to Victoria from Vancouver, B.C., you also have options by air or ferry.
By air, you can fly the scenic Harbour to Harbour route (Vancouver-Victoria) either by Harbour Air's float planes or by modern, high-speed Helijet.  You can also fly from many Canadian Airports directly to Victoria International Airport.  By ferry, drive south of Vancouver to Tsawwassen for the scenic 1 hour 35 minute cruise to Swartz Bay, 30 minutes from downtown Victoria. 

Once in Victoria, you will find Joan Brown's B&B just blocks from the downtown centre.  Head east on Fort Street to Pemberton Road (a right hand turn) and proceed for two blocks.  Alternately, take the scenic route past grand historic mansions and Government House along Rockland Avenue, turning left on to Pemberton Road opposite the second gate of Government House.
