Your journey begins with a comfortable motorcoach transfer from Vancouver to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal.

On arrival at Vancouver Island, your adventure continues with a visit to the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. Lose yourself in a living canvas of colour and fragrance as you wander through carefully curated themed gardens.
