Activity itinerary

Day 1: Victoria's Gardens, Heritage & Coastal Charm

  • 5 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Not included

The Butchart Gardens

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Step into a world-renowned floral masterpiece at Butchart Gardens, a breathtaking 55-acre garden set within a transformed limestone quarry. This extraordinary National Historic Site is a living expression of artistry and horticultural excellence, where each garden reveals a distinct atmosphere, from the dramatic Sunken Garden to the tranquil elegance of the Japanese Garden. Across the seasons, the landscape evolves into a vibrant spectacle: spring tulips in full bloom, summer roses in rich colour, and enchanting winter illuminations that transform the grounds into a glowing wonderland. More than a garden, it is an immersive sensory experience and one of Victoria’s most unforgettable highlights

Chinatown (Pass by)

ravel through Victoria’s historic Chinatown, one of the oldest Chinese communities in North America. From the vehicle, view the Gate of Harmonious Interest, heritage buildings, and the district’s distinctive streetscape.

Beacon Hill Park

  • 15m
Begin at Beacon Hill Park, a treasured green oasis in the heart of Victoria. The park is celebrated for its magnificent Garry oak trees, beautifully landscaped gardens, peaceful ponds, colourful flower displays, and open meadows. Peacocks are often seen roaming freely throughout the park, adding to its distinctive charm. Depending on the stopping location and available time, guests may also see the park’s impressive Indigenous totem pole and enjoy views towards the nearby coastline.

Mile Zero Monument

  • 10m
Continue to Mile Zero, the symbolic western starting point of the Trans-Canada Highway—one of the longest national highway systems in the world. This famous landmark marks the beginning of a route stretching across Canada from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast. Nearby stands the inspiring Terry Fox statue, honouring the courageous Canadian athlete and humanitarian who began his legendary Marathon of Hope in 1980 to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. The surrounding waterfront also offers beautiful views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca towards the distant Olympic Mountains, creating an excellent setting for memorable photographs.

Fisherman's Wharf

  • 1h
Discover the vibrant charm of Fisherman’s Wharf, a colourful floating community tucked beside Victoria’s picturesque Inner Harbour. Stroll along the docks and admire the brightly painted floating homes, working fishing vessels, pleasure boats, and lively waterfront scenery that give this unique neighbourhood its unmistakable character. Take time to browse the small waterfront shops, capture memorable photographs, and soak up the relaxed maritime atmosphere. Keep watch for harbour seals and other marine wildlife that may occasionally appear around the docks. Guests may also purchase an optional meal from one of the popular floating food vendors, offering local favourites such as fresh seafood, fish and chips, and other casual treats. With its cheerful colours, distinctive floating architecture, and authentic West Coast character, Fisherman’s Wharf is one of Victoria’s most enjoyable waterfront destination
