Description
Your journey begins with a comfortable motorcoach transfer from Vancouver to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. Step aboard a spacious BC Ferries vessel and enjoy a 90-minute cruise through the beautiful Gulf Islands. Relax on deck with the sea breeze in your hair and keep your eyes peeled for eagles soaring overhead, playful sea lions on rocky shores, and majestic whales gliding through the waters. 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. Highlights include the jaw-dropping Sunken Garden, a dazzling Rose Garden, and a serene Japanese Garden. Next, travel to Victoria, a city that blends British elegance with Pacific Northwest charm. Stroll the historic Inner Harbour, framed by the iconic Parliament Buildings and the stately Fairmont Empress Hotel. Enjoy free time to browse boutique shops, sip coffee in a harbourside café, or walk the lively streets of Chinatown and Government Street. With its architecture, culture, and seaside beauty, Victoria offers something for every traveler, from families and couples to solo explorers.Includes
