I'm not sure where Victoria or an overnight entered the mix - Seems to have spontaneously appeared in the thread.
I assume they're doing DEN -> YVR -> Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal -> Walk on Ferry -> Walk off Nanaimo, meet parents
Certainly do-able in a day, albeit a long one.
For example:
United 323 -
Depart DEN 11:26
Arrive YVR 1:22
Leave Horseshoe Bay on 3pm (unlikely) or 5pm (likely) ferry.
Arrive Nanaimo 2 hours later...
No overnight, no Victoria.
