8:00 AM: Victoria & Butchart Gardens Tour from Vancouver

Our Victoria & Butchart Gardens Tour is our most beloved day trip. The wild beauty of the Pacific Coast meets historic splendour in British Columbia’s lush oceanfront capital city of Victoria. During this tour, travel aboard BC Ferries, through Active Pass and along rugged island coastlines. Admire the Gulf Islands and take in the sea breeze from the deck, or enjoy the views from your warm seat inside the ferry. Once on Vancouver Island, your guide will drive you straight into the heart of Victoria, while providing commentary about the city’s history and surrounding areas. With your leisure time in Victoria’s Inner Harbour explore everything from artistic totem poles to the Parliament Buildings. Have the freedom to duck into museums, boutique shops and restaurants along cobblestone streets. Your tour guide is happy to suggest activities and lunch options. A tour to Vancouver Island is not complete without a visit to the flawless Butchart Gardens showing 55 acres of floral displays. During the summer months, ask about our optional ‘Early Butchart Gardens Shuttle’ to spend a little more time at the Gardens, and a little less time in downtown Victoria. Your tour concludes with a relaxing return sailing aboard BC Ferries.
