Top-Rated Victoria Shore Excursions

Ships dock at Ogden Point, a shuttle ride or a longish waterfront walk from the Inner Harbour, the Parliament Buildings and the Empress hotel; calls are often in the evening on round-trip Seattle sailings. Butchart Gardens, north of the city, is the most requested tour, with city highlights, Craigdarroch Castle, pedicab rides and whale watching close behind.
