Description:

Explore charming Victoria in the morning, vivid Butchart Gardens in the afternoon, and the vibrant Gulf Islands by evening. This full-day tour whisks you to the major cultural centers of Victoria Island with time to wander, so you can observe the history and natural beauty of the region.

Start the day with an inquisitive exploration of the Royal British Columbia Museum and journey around Victoria’s Inner Harbour. From here you board a coach and explore the grounds of Butchart Gardens. This spectacular 55-acre (22.3-ha) arboretum began construction over 100 years ago on the grounds of a former quarry. Immerse yourself in the colorful flowers, trees, and plant life that surrounds you.

After a few hours at the Gardens, you take a 95-minute cruise through the nearby Gulf Islands. Take in the sights of this idyllic archipelago, known for its farms, wineries, cheese shops, and natural beauty, before returning to your hotel. Stunning views await you on this full day of amazing sightseeing.
