Best Western Dorchester Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Stall accommodated my Expedia request for an early check in, as we flew in by seaplane at noon. That was perfect after a long morning of travelling. Front desk staff helpful in pointing out attractions and shopping and dining. However we ate twice in the hotel’s restaurant as the food as service was great. This must be a fun place to work, even the housekeeping staff were above and beyond"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Departure Bay?
The best time to visit Departure Bay is from late spring to early autumn, specifically between May and October, when the weather is at its finest.

During these months, you'll experience consistently pleasant temperatures, ideal for enjoying the outdoors and the stunning natural beauty of the area. The days are longer, offering more daylight for exploring the coastlines and local attractions around Nanaimo.

For those looking to enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the sea, July and August offer the warmest water temperatures and the most sunshine. This period is also great for taking advantage of the ferry services to nearby islands or exploring the regional parks.

If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, late May to June or September to early October are excellent choices. The weather remains agreeable, and you can still partake in most activities without the peak season bustle.
