From Vancouver: Victoria & Butchart Gardens Coach Tour - Hotel Pickup

Board a coach at your Vancouver hotel
and head to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal

After pickup at a designated downtown Vancouver hotel, ride south in a climate-controlled coach with a restroom. Your driver-guide shares interesting stories about Vancouver and the surrounding area along the way.

Cross between the Gulf Islands on BC Ferries

Board BC Ferries at Tsawwassen Terminal and cross the Strait of Georgia for about 90 minutes. Take in views of the Southern Gulf Islands, with a chance to see marine wildlife such as orcas, seals and bald eagles. Relax in the ferry lounge or on deck and take photos.

Stroll The Butchart Gardens for 2 hours

On arrival on Vancouver Island, continue to The Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site of Canada. More than 900 plant varieties are arranged in themed gardens across over 220,000 square meters. For about 2 hours, wander freely through the Sunken Garden, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden and more, along paths lined with flowers, fountains and statues.

Enjoy free time in downtown Victoria

After the gardens, pass through Canada's oldest Chinatown on the way to downtown Victoria and take in views of the Inner Harbour. You usually have 1.5 to 2 hours of free time downtown. Walk along the harbour, browse the boutiques, or visit landmarks such as the Royal BC Museum and the Fairmont Empress.

In the late afternoon, board the coach to Swartz Bay and return to Vancouver by ferry. The tour ends when you are dropped off at your original hotel.
