How much does a Nanaimo holiday package cost?
You can snap up a holiday package to this top destination on Expedia. But how much your holiday to Nanaimo costs will depend on factors like the length of stay, season and hotel choice.
What are the cheapest months to go to Nanaimo?
Travel in the low or shoulder season and you’re likely to score cheap Nanaimo holiday packages. Remember that public holidays and local festivals and events can impact prices, so do some research before you go.
How many days is enough for Nanaimo?
To fully enjoy a Nanaimo holiday, we recommend staying for 2 days. Divide your time between visiting Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park, Beach Estates Park and other top attractions, on top of exploring neighbourhoods like Stephenson Point and Departure Bay. If you’ve got some spare time, add a day trip to your Nanaimo holiday itinerary.

How to find the best Nanaimo package deals?
Use Expedia’s filter tool to find some of the best Nanaimo package deals.
