Victoria movers, from Vancouver to the Island and back
Moving between the Lower Mainland and Victoria means a ferry, and a ferry means planning: a booked sailing, terminal timing, and a truck that has to be on the right boat. Shiraz Moving Co. moves homes between Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria and plans the sailing as part of your move.

Moving to or from Victoria: what we plan for
- Most moves into Greater Victoria use the BC Ferries route from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, about 1 hour 35 minutes on the water plus the drive at each end.
- Sailings for large vehicles are best booked well ahead, especially on summer weekends and holidays.
- Greater Victoria is a cluster of municipalities (Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Langford, Colwood and more), each with its own streets and parking rules.
- Older neighbourhoods like James Bay and Fairfield have character homes and older walk-ups, where stairs and narrow streets are common.

Moving in Victoria: common questions
How do you get my things to Victoria?
By BC Ferries. The usual route into Greater Victoria is Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, and we plan the sailing as part of the move.
Do you move from Victoria to Vancouver too?
Yes. We move homes in both directions between Greater Victoria and Metro Vancouver.
How long does a Vancouver to Victoria move take?
It's the loading, the drive to the terminal, the crossing (about 1 hour 35 minutes) and the drive and unloading on the Island. We agree the schedule with you on the call.
Can you pack before the ferry trip?
Yes. Add packing services and everything is packed and wrapped before the truck leaves.
