Although understandable, too much time was spent getting to and from Victoria from Vancouver pick-up. So little time to even get to, much less visit Victoria sites other than Butchart Gardens.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Paul. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. While efficiently driving us through the city, Stanley Park and Grouse Mountain, he shared interesting facts about the area’s history, culture and current issues. He maximized our experience by knowing the best times and viewing areas, reducing time spent in lines. Having been on many such tours, we confidently rate his as excellent. Highly recommended.

Whale Watching in Vancouver

Extraordinary experience! We went whale watching while we were in Vancouver. We saw Humpback whales, killer whales (orca’s) and harbour porpoise. Our naturalist Caitlin did an incredible job of walking us through entire process! The rest of the crew, Sebastian, Fox, Steven and Roman were great. Overall the experience was fantastic and I’ll certainly be returning on my next trip to Vancouver.

Vancouver Sunset Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos

Fantastic Whale watching adventure

We had a fantastic experience on this whale watching tour. The boat was comfortable and spacious, with plenty of room to take pictures, and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the trip.My husband and I were incredibly lucky to see a humpback whale, killer whales, sea lions, seals, a bald eagle, and even an otter!The highlight was definitely seeing the killer whales. They were very close to the boat, so the engines were switched off, allowing us to experience them in complete silence and actually hear their sounds. It was absolutely surreal and something we’ll never forget.The company also took professional photos during the tour, which we received afterwards. This is a lovely bonus and a great way to remember such a special experience.We would highly recommend booking this tour. It was truly unforgettable and one of the highlights of our trip!

Best Victoria Trip

If you're lucky enough to go on this trip with Byron, you will have the most wonderful time! From start to finish we had so much fun. Going to Butchart Gardens in the afternoon, vs first thing in the day, was so smart because we saw all the beauty and none of the crowds.

Victoria and Butchart Garden tour from Vancouver via ferry

Excellent excursion. Had great guide in Bernie--knowledgeable, friendly, personable! Clean and comfortable bus. Well identified pickup points, clear directions on timing and how to access points of interest. Victoria is a beautiful city aa was Butchart Gardens. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes as there can be lots of walking (your decision). Lots of photo ops--make sure to bring a charger for phones. Would definitely recommend both the tour and the guide!
