Escape to Victoria for the ultimate day trip, where you’ll experience two scenic scheduled flights and the freedom to explore at your own pace. Start your adventure with a breathtaking flight from Vancouver to Victoria, taking off from Harbour Air’s downtown terminal. As you ascend, take in iconic views of Stanley Park, the majestic Lions Gate Bridge, the shimmering waters of Burrard Inlet, and the sweeping expanse of the Strait of Georgia. It’s a spectacular start to a day filled with natural beauty and coastal charm.

Your flight lands in Victoria’s picturesque Inner Harbour, located in the heart of the city. Upon landing, proceed to the front sidewalk of the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel, where you’ll find the Gray Line check-in kiosk. After checking in, board a comfortable, driver-narrated coach for a scenic transfer to the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. Along the way, your driver will share engaging stories and local insights about Victoria and its surrounding areas.

A designated National Historic Site of Canada, Butchart Gardens spans 55 acres and offers a mesmerizing floral display year-round. Established in 1904, the gardens are a must-see for any visitor. Highlights include the vibrant Sunken Garden, the elegant Rose Garden, the whimsical Rose Carousel, and optional boat tours during the warmer months. Stroll through beautifully themed landscapes, vibrant floral displays, and peaceful walking paths—an enriching encounter with the natural beauty of British Columbia.

For an added touch of elegance, guests may enhance their visit by reserving traditional Afternoon Tea at The Dining Room Restaurant, located within the Gardens. A minimum stay of two hours at the Gardens is recommended for the best experience. After your visit, return to the designated bus pick-up area for your scenic transfer back to downtown Victoria.

Once back in the city, enjoy leisurely free time to explore at your own pace. Stroll along the picturesque waterfront, visit historic sites like the Parliament Buildings or Fairmont Empress Hotel, shop for local artisan goods, or savor West Coast cuisine at one of the many seaside restaurants. Victoria’s vibrant arts and cultural scene await you.

As your day winds down, return to the Victoria seaplane terminal for a scenic flight back to Vancouver, offering one more chance to take in the coastal views and landmarks from the sky.

This full-day adventure offers the perfect balance of scenic beauty, history, and relaxation. With a flexible itinerary, narrated transportation, iconic attractions, and unforgettable aerial views, it’s the ideal way to experience both Vancouver and Victoria in one unforgettable day.
