If you want to walk, enter Waterfront Station, follow the enclosed footbridge over the rail yards, go down the escalator, and follow the "helicopter" signs outside to east parking lot and the heliport. Once outside, it's about a five-minute walk, give or take.

Here is a Google Street View picture of the door you will exit from waterfront station. Twirl around and double click your way through the parking lot and you'll see the path to the heliport

I have seen the Helijet shuttle vans around town, although I've never taken one as getting to the terminal is very easy.

Just to be clear the Helijet terminal in Victoria is 2km from downtown while the terminal in Vancouver is in a bit of an out of the way place. If you don't have too much to carry and it's not raining when you arrive in Vancouver then the instructions above are good, except in the opposite order as you are arriving not departing. If you decide a cab would be a better choice when you arrive in Vancouver you can advise Helijet of this when you check in at the Victoria terminal and they will make sure a cab is available for you as you arrive. Many of the passengers do this so it is common practice.
Have a good trip.
