Description:

Cruise between islands crowned with thick forests, snap photos of gorgeous Chateau-style architecture, and explore one of the world’s most stunning landscapes. Your tour of Victoria and Butchart Gardens showcases Vancouver Island’s elegant cities and rich natural beauty.

Leave from the shores of mainland Canada on a spacious ferry boat and head southwest, through deep blue seas dotted with the dark green Gulf Islands. When you pull into Victoria’s bustling harbor, enjoy an easy walk straight into the heart of this provincial capital. Gaze at the ornate features of The Empress Hotel and the Parliament Building, which sit on either side of the marina. Take some free time to meander between the shops and boutiques, grab lunch, or capitalize on discounted admission to the Royal British Columbia Museum.

Continue your afternoon with a short, scenic drive to Butchart Gardens. Spread out over 55 acres (22 ha), this magnificent park is home to charming fountains, fields of roses, tiny ponds, and an adorable tea house. Follow winding paths through meticulously manicured flower beds, expertly sculpted trees, and ornamental hedges that flank white gazebos.

When you’re ready to bid the flora a fond farewell, hop aboard comfortable transportation, and return to Victoria for a final glance at the city and a ferry ride back to the mainland.
