Victoria City Christmas Tour and Butchart Gardens

See British Columbia's spectacular coastline by land and ship as the tour continues to Vancouver Island to visit the picturesque city of Victoria and the magical Butchart Gardens.

From Vancouver, it's a short ride before boarding a BC Ferries ship at the Tsawwassen terminal for a 90-minute cruise through the scenic beauty of the Gulf Islands. Enjoy some fresh air and observe marine wildlife from the ship's outdoor deck—just be sure to dress warmly.

Arrive at the Schwartz Bay terminal on Vancouver Island and continue inland to Victoria, the capital of the province of British Columbia. Here you'll receive a brief introduction to the area, before having some free time to explore the unique shops and cafes of Government Street and Chinatown. Stroll along the Inner Harbor for a privileged view of the ocean, and don't forget to snap some photos of the Victoria Parliament Building and the Fairmont Empress Hotel, both impeccably dressed for the season.

Continue to the enchanting botanical wonderland of Butchart Gardens and experience the magic of Christmas. Stroll through a series of themed gardens to see and experience Christmas lights, garlands, carols, ice skating, and more.

Finally, we returned to Schwartz Bay for the bus and ferry ride back to Vancouver.
