Vancouver to Victoria and Butchart Gardens
Overview of your Vancouver tour
Embark on a private full-day adventure from Vancouver to Victoria and the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Your journey begins with a hotel pickup and a scenic 1.5-hour ferry cruise through the breathtaking Gulf Islands. On Vancouver Island, explore the floral paradise of Butchart Gardens before heading into historic downtown Victoria with a professional guide by your side, and enjoy insights before cruising back to the mainland. A seamless, unforgettable West Coast experience! Feel the salty ocean breeze, soak in the colors of the gardens, and make lasting memories in British Columbia’s most elegant city.
Your Vancouver tour itinerary
Your unforgettable day trip begins with a convenient morning pickup from your hotel in Vancouver. From there, you’ll board a comfortable coach and head to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, where you’ll embark on a scenic 1.5-hour BC Ferries cruise through the stunning Gulf Islands. Upon arrival on Vancouver Island, your first stop is the world-renowned Butchart Gardens—a 55-acre horticultural wonder. After soaking in the natural beauty of Butchart Gardens, the tour continues into downtown Victoria, the charming capital city of British Columbia. Here, you can admire the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel, snap photos of the historic British Columbia Parliament Buildings, and stroll along the scenic Inner Harbour.
