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.

How to find the best Nanaimo package deals?
Use Expedia's filter tool to find some of the best Nanaimo package deals. When you begin your search, just set your maximum budget and then sort the results by "Price: low to high."
