Overview

After picking you up, your guide will take you on a guided tour of the Historical Butchart Garden. The countless blooms and Victorian-era structures are unique and sure to impress.

Following this, we will meet all the residents of the Salish Sea Aquarium. Many fish, anemones, jellies and colourful creatures inhabit our waters. The aquarium also features a touch pool where you can experience a finger hug from urchins, sea stars and anemones.

For our last top, walk amongst giants in the Rainforest of the Pacific Northwest and up a small canyon with a gorgeous waterfall.
Many 800+ year-old trees await your visit and will greet you alongside eagles, migratory birds and the seasonal salmon run.

After this tour, you can be dropped off at your accommodation, downtown or at the airport or ferry terminal.
