Itinerary
View the spectacular British Columbia coastline by land and sea, as the tour makes its way to Vancouver Island to visit the quaint city of Victoria and magical Butchart Gardens.
From Vancouver, it's a short journey to Tsawwassen terminal before boarding a BC Ferries vessel for a 90-minute sailing past the scenic Gulf Islands and through Active Pass. Enjoy some fresh air and be on the lookout for marine wildlife from the outdoor ship deck, just make sure to bundle up.
Arrive at Swartz Bay terminal on Vancouver Island and continue through the countryside to Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia. Here you will be given a short introduction to the area where you will have some free time to explore the unique shops and cafes of Government Street and Chinatown. Stroll along the Inner Harbour for prime ocean views, and don't forget to snap a couple of photos of the Victoria Parliament Building and The Fairmont Empress Hotel, both impeccably dressed for the season.
Continue to the enchanting botanical paradise of Butchart Gardens and the Magic of Christmas. Wander through a series of themed gardens, to view and experience Christmas light displays, holiday wreaths, carolers, ice skating and more.
Finally, it's back towards Swartz Bay for the return journey to Vancouver by bus and ferry.
