At Sea during your 90-minute crossing through the gulf islands, you will have a chance to enjoy the on-board ferry amenities such as full restaurant service, gift shops or video games for the kids. Mostly, you’ll be walking around deck, with your eyes on the water searching for orcas, eagles or seals. Once on the island our first stop will be at the world famous Butchart Gardens which offers 50 acres of flowers and spectacular gardens (English rose, Japanese and Italian gardens).



Leave the gardens behind and drive down the Saanich Peninsula to the heart of Victoria.
