Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is situated on the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island, just a short trip from downtown Vancouver. This charming city is world-renowned for it’s beautiful gardens, year round temperate climate, world-class tourism services, unique architecture and a decidedly British flair. 

Seemingly endless possibilities exist for shopping, dining, arts, entertainment and adventure travel. You could easily start the morning with an exciting whale watching excursion, next tour a world class museum, then relax with traditional English High Tea in the afternoon, shop the fabulous inner harbour area, have a sumptuous dinner and finish off with a great evening at Prism Lounge.

Getting to Victoria from Vancouver has a variety of options including car/passenger ferry service, regular coach and sightseeing services, helicopter, float plane or commercial airline service.
