  • Our day starts with your private vehicle and driver picking you up at your hotel in the Vancouver area.

  • We head straight to the BC Ferries terminal where there will be time to get coffee and a breakfast if needed. The ferry cost is included in the tour price. Food, Beverage, and any personal spending is extra.

  • We drive inside the ferry for the 95 minute sailing. Onboard there is food available for purchase, guests can admire the view from through the large windows, or go out on deck and see the beautiful scenery as the vessel passes close by the smaller islands. You might be lucky enough to spot whales!

  • After disembarkation, it’s a 30 minute drive to the Butchart Gardens. We prefer morning visits because the crowds are less and we can beat the heat of the day in the summer. We have the option to change the order of the tour to work around the weather or client preference. The length of the visit here is at the clients discretion - we move on when you are ready! The Butchart Gardens are self-guided.

  • An optional stop at the Victoria Butterfly Gardens is next. See the beautiful butterflies really close up!

  • We now head towards downtown Victoria for a tour around the city

  • If your are interested, there is a good possibility we can visit the historic and beautifully restored Craigdarroch Castle. Self Guided.

  • Once downtown, there should be plenty of time to explore the waterfront area, maybe take a boat tour?

  • We can also visit the Victoria Bug Zoo (great for kids!), Miniature World, the Royal BC Museum, and other attractions of your choosing. These are good rainy day options.

  • Have dinner at one of the many dining options in the downtown area (Not included in the tour price), then we make our way back to the ferry and the sailing back to Vancouver.

  • We guarantee you will have more time to see more sights than a bus tour!

  • This is a private customizable tour. Additional time can be added for $69 + GST per hour

  • Tour price is for the car and driver/guide and the BC Ferries fare. 5% GST is extra. Admission to all attractions is NOT included. Personal spending and food is extra.

  • Pickup and drop off anywhere in the Greater Vancouver area is included, but extra time may be required to enjoy the tour from starting points outside of Vancouver.
