Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a whale-watching tour along the Victoria coastline or a stroll through the downtown area's quaint streets. Depending on your preferences, you could also swap the Royal BC Museum for a visit to Craigdarroch Castle, a magnificent Victorian-era mansion. If you have less time, cut out the Butchart Gardens and focus on exploring Downtown Victoria and its nearby attractions.
