Area Guide
Visitors can stroll along the harbourfront walkway with
shops, galleries and restaurants. Nearby is the Heritage walk in
the Old City Quarter which reflects the ambiance and architecture
of the mining era in the early 1900's.
For those who prefer to explore the wilderness, extensive
hiking
trails are within easy access in the
Nanaimo area and on the
surrounding islands. Water is a central theme for Nanaimo and a
variety of water excursions such as harbour tours, kayaking, wind
surfing, sailing, and
world class scuba diving
are available. Guided fishing charters can be booked at the marina
across from the Coast Bastion Inn.
