Vancouver - Victoria

Let’s take a tour to the beautiful city of Vancouver! We will first go to the Butchart Gardens, which has a history of 100 years. There are many theme gardens in the garden. Through Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest commercial street in Chinatown on the island. Then, go to the Victoria Mile Zero Monument. After that, we will visit the Victoria Inner Harbor with British style and stay overnight in Victoria. 

Vancouver → BC ferry (90 mins, ferry ticket included) → The Butchart Gardens (60 mins, ticket included) → Chinatown Victoria (Pass by) → Victoria Mile Zero Monument (15 mins) → Victoria Inner Harbour (120 mins, you may choose to participate in English afternoon tea at your own expense in Empress Hotel) → Victoria

Note: 
The Butchart Gardens will be closed to the public from January 22 to February 4, 2024, and on December 25, 2024. Due to the operational schedule of The Butchart Gardens, we will extend the sightseeing time in downtown Victoria. You will have ample time to visit the Inner Harbour, museums, and you can also go to the Fairmont Empress Hotel for an English afternoon tea (at your own expense). If the Butchart Gardens is closed, please refer to the actual charges collected by the tour guide for any required fees.

BC ferry

Sail away on the BC Ferry! The BC Ferry is the main transportation that sails for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Many people take the ferry to and from Vancouver and Victoria. The ferries were made in Germany and can accommodate up to about 400 cars, which is truly so amazing! The scenic beauty that the ferry provides is very amazing to look at! You can spot the surrounding island, seagulls flying around and if you’re lucky enough, you can even see dolphins too.

The Butchart Gardens

Come and enjoy the beautiful Butchart Gardens! We promise, these gardens aren’t like any other. They are truly one of the most magical and enchanting gardens that you will ever see in your life! The gardens receive over a million visitors each and every year. The gardens were constructed in 1904, and today is well-known as a National Historic Site. In Spring, countless tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths fill the gardens with different fragrances and vibrant colors. At the end of May, the rose garden will become the protagonist of the summer garden. The gardens even offer open stage and music performances in July and August! The garden even provides lovely fireworks show and views of its beautiful colorful water fountain. 

Chinatown Victoria

The Chinatown in Victoria is the oldest Chinatown in Canada and the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's. Victoria's Chinatown is now surrounded by cultural, entertainment venues as well as being a venue in itself. Chinatown is now conveniently just minutes away from other sites of interests such as the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, Bay Centre, Empress Hotel, Market Square, and more significant sites.

Victoria Mile Zero Monument

Located in the picturesque Beacon Hill Park in British Columbia’s capital, Mile 0 is one of the symbolic starting points of the Trans-Canada Highway on the Pacific Coast. The highway, conceived in the late 1940s and constructed between 1950 and 1971, was the longest uninterrupted highway in the world at the time of its completion. Spanning a whopping 4,860 miles (7,821 kilometers), it runs across all 10 of Canada’s provinces, crossing the Rocky Mountains and the wide-open prairies of central Canada. 

Victoria Inner Harbour

The Victoria Harbor - including the Inner Harbor - is one of the most beautiful harbors in the world. The harbor has had a long history, starting with its use by First Nations. Recreational vessels and small cruise ships can be seen in the center of this famous heritage city, just steps from its historic streets and distinctive architecture.

Hatley Park National Historic Site

Hatley Park National Historic Site is located in Colwood, British Columbia, in Greater Victoria. It is the site of Hatley Castle, a Classified Federal Heritage Building. Since 1995, the mansion and estate have been used for the public Royal Roads University. From the 1940s to 1995, it was used for the Royal Roads Military College, a naval training facility. The extensive grounds of the historic site have formal gardens, former farmland, and trails through mature stands of first and second-growth forest, including large Douglas fir and western red cedar.

Malahat SkyWalk

Ascend the spiral ramp to peak adventure. At 250 m above sea level, the tower offers some of the best views on Vancouver Island, including a sweeping panorama of Mt. Baker, Finlayson Arm, the Saanich Peninsula, and islands in two countries. Explore the West Coast from a whole new perspective and then choose your descent with a return walk down the ramp or take the fast route on our Spiral Slide.

Chemainus Festival Of Murals Society

The Chemainus mural project is the world’s leading community-driven art tourism experience. Spurred to save a community from certain economic collapse, the Chemainus mural project has delighted and inspired millions of visitors and ultimately became the blueprint for community mural projects globally. The project continues to innovate through trompe-l’oeil, advanced technologies, such as Evolon, 3D/audio and sculpture/painting mixed-media concepts.

Nanaimo

Nanaimo is a vibrant urban centre found on the east side of beautiful Vancouver Island where an abundance of recreation and cultural opportunities exist giving residents a lifestyle second to none for living, working and playing.
