Trip Overview

We will begin our journey by picking you up at your chosen location in Vancouver . From there, we will make our way to the harbor where we will board the ferry to Victoria. During our voyage, keep an eye out for the stunning Gulf Islands as you breathe in the refreshing ocean air, leading us closer to Vancouver Island. You can also take some time to explore the dining options and shops available onboard.

Upon arrival at the scenic Inner Harbour of Victoria, we'll meander along the vibrant Government Street towards the historic Chinatown, the oldest of its kind in Canada. As we continue our walk, we’ll traverse Fan Tan Alley, known as the narrowest shopping street in North America. Are you curious about its intriguing name? We'll uncover the story behind it during our exploration!

Next on our itinerary are the Butchart Gardens, an internationally celebrated oasis showcasing nearly 900 unique plant species. Within its expansive grounds, the beautiful hues of diverse flora and the meticulously designed Italian and Japanese gardens will mesmerize you. Truly a sight to behold!

Continuing our exploration, we will visit the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel, one of Victoria's most recognizable landmarks. Designed by the esteemed architect Francis Rattenbury, this exquisite luxury hotel has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

As our day comes to a close, we will make our way to the Parliament Buildings of British Columbia, the site of the province's Legislative Assembly, before boarding the ferry for our return to Vancouver. After a comprehensive 13-hour experience, we'll transport you back to your original meeting point.
