Scenic Victoria Small Group Night Tour W/ Boat & Butchart Gardens

As the sun sets over Victoria, this Scenic Victoria Night Tour W/ Boat & Butchart Gardens begins with your local guide picking you up from your downtown Victoria hotel in a luxury van and taking you on a relaxing drive through the city glowing in the evening light. You will be able to see a different side of Victoria that the twilight hours bring out. It looks quieter, softer, and lit by the warm glow of street lamps. On the city drive, you will also pass by the British Columbia Parliament Buildings and enjoy a postcard-worthy view of this beautifully illuminated historical building.

The city drive stops at the piers from where you will board the Victoria boat tour for a tranquil boat cruise along the inner harbor. As you glide past floating homes, sailboats, and the peaceful shoreline, you will have a chance to unwind and enjoy the magical atmosphere created by the city lights reflecting on ripples across the water.

After the cruise, you’ll arrive at Butchart Gardens and have a truly refreshing experience with its lush and meticulous horticulture. The gardens completely change after dark where soft lighting lights up the winding walking tracks with colorful blooms and towering trees. This tour provides a rare opportunity to experience this botanical gem in a more intimate, romantic setting.

After the gardens, you will have another city drive back to your downtown Victoria hotel. You will drive past some of Victoria's most beloved landmarks. You will see Craigdarroch Castle that stands out for its Victorian architecture and its affluent past. Also, Beacon Hill Park with its tall Garry oaks and manicured lawns. And, Government House, the ceremonial home of the Lieutenant Governor, and the nearby Fisherman’s Wharf that adds a splash of character with its colorful floating homes and working boats.

This night tour wraps up with your guide dropping you off at your accommodation in downtown Victoria. With comfortable transportation, a knowledgeable guide, and a thoughtfully curated itinerary, this tour invites you to experience Victoria in a serene and unforgettable way.
