About this excursion

Discover Victoria and Butchart Gardens from Vancouver on an easy full-day tour with round-trip transportation, BC Ferries tickets, Butchart Gardens admission, and a professional guide included.

Start with pickup from select downtown Vancouver hotels, then travel to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal for a scenic 90-minute BC Ferries sailing through the Gulf Islands. Enjoy coastal views from the deck and watch for marine wildlife along the way.

On Vancouver Island, visit the world-famous Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site of Canada with 55 acres of themed gardens, including the Sunken Garden, Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and Italian Garden.

Continue to Victoria, British Columbia’s capital, for free time to explore the Inner Harbour, Government Street, Chinatown, the Parliament Buildings, and the Fairmont Empress Hotel. An included downloadable Inner Harbour walking tour helps you make the most of your visit before returning by ferry and coach to Vancouver.
