Powell River is located 170 kilometres north of Vancouver, as the crow
flies. The fastest way to get here is by airplane. Pacific Coastal Airlines
operates daily service out of Vancouver, with a flight time of approximately
25 minutes. Harbour Air also operates daily services out of Vancouver
and Comox Valley.
Our coastal community is also accessible by car, using a scenic combination of ferries and highways. Some people visit by pleasure boat, stopping in at the various marinas, government wharves and marine parks located in the immediate vicinity. Some take a circle route, arriving in the qathet region from Vancouver via Sechelt Peninsula, before departing to Comox on Vancouver Island and continuing on with their journey. Others never leave, heading to the nearest real estate office with their down payment in hand.
