Great Ferry
The best way to get to Vancouver Island and Victoria is with the B.C. Ferry.
You can go from Tsawwasen (about 20 km' south of Vancouver) to Shwarts Bay (about 20 km' north of Victoria) or from Horseshoe Bay (just north of Vancouver) to Nanaimo (40 km' north of Victoria).
The sail itself takes about one and a half hour, but the whole trip door to door takes about 3 hours.
In the high season you better be at the departure point more then half an hour before departure, or call them and reservr a place (for your car). It cost a bit more, but you won't remain on shore

small plane
If you are comming to Vancouver with a olane, you can take the plane ride to Victoria. Otherwise it will hardly save you time. The trip takes lws the 20 minutes from take off to touchdown, It is the before and after that consume your time. The plane is usualy small, and if you don't like to fly in samll olanes, especialy if the werher isn't great, Don't
