victoria, british columbia

Arrival: 08:30 - Departure: 16:00

Victoria is fortunate to have a beautiful waterfront location at the southernmost point of the nature-rich Vancouver Island. It has maintained its Commonwealth heritage more robustly than any other location in Canada. Many regard it as the most British city in North America. Established in 1843 as a Hudson Bay Trading Post, its colonial history has been well-preserved and is continually being lovingly restored. However, Victoria doesn't only take pride in its splendid colonial history, but also in its ancient origins. Victoria remains the home of the Lekwungen People, also known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. Their culture and history are still very much a part of the city. Victoria's historic downtown is a prime example of preserving architectural integrity while maintaining cleanliness. Add to this, a plethora of dining, nightlife, cultural, and shopping options, not to mention that it is the warmest place in all of Canada, blooming with flowers nearly all year round. This is why it is considered the gem of Canada's west coast and is often referred to as the city of gardens. Victoria is a delightful small city with a cheerful and relaxed ambiance, surrounded by stunningly beautiful landscapes. It's no surprise that tourists are drawn to Victoria and generally have high praise for it.
