Victoria British Columbia

Just a short ferry ride away from the city of Vancouver, Victoria BC is the southern gem of Vancouver Island. Located below the 49th parallel, Victoria enjoys the mildest climate in BC – consisting of 4 distinct but gentle seasons. Rife with culture and diversity, you will find the streets bustling with activity all year.

In the Victoria summer, the inner harbour is alive with visiting boaters, street performers, local artisans and busy waterfront patios. Enjoy the unique shops and tourist attractions before succumbing to the irresistible smells of west coast cuisine wafting out from downtown restaurants.
