Victoria & Butchart Garden Day Trip by bus & ferry

Victorians have a passion for gardens, golfing, and greenery – and for civility.
British influence is reflected in the shops along Government Street where you can hunt for linens, china, antiques, and woolens. Dozens of tearooms offer afternoon tea with cream puffs and dainty sandwiches.

As the crow flies, Victoria is only 25 miles away from Vancouver. However, getting there overland is a breathtaking four hour journey by motor coach and ferry through some of British Columbia’s most spectacular scenery – the Gulf Islands.

Once in Victoria you have about two and a half hours to explore the city. At about 3:00 pm your bus takes you to the famous Butchart Gardens.  Entrance to the gardens and a 1.5 hour long visit are included in your ticket.

From the gardens the bus takes you directly onto the ferry.

You will return to Vancouver by about 9:00 pm.
