TRAVEL
Flights
We recommend booking as early as possible!
You can fly into Smithers Airport (YYD) or Terrace Airport (YXT).
Flying into Smithers is more expensive but worth it if you are short on time. The airport is a 5 minute drive from downtown.
Flying into Terrace can be a cheaper option but is a 2.5 hour drive to Smithers, so factor in vehicle rental costs if you choose this route.
Driving
It is a 13 hour drive from Vancouver and Calgary to Smithers.
There are only 2 taxi vans operating at any given time but luckily almost everywhere is walkable in Smithers.
BV Taxi Service: 250-847-2306
Vehicle rental options are available through the Airport if you want to go on an adventure during your stay.
We will provide a shuttle service on Saturday.
