Although Vancouver offers a variety of activities and attractions in itself, the surrounding area also provides wonderful opportunities for sightseeing. Close enough for a quick day trip, Victoria is a beautiful city on the coast that offers big-city advantages as well as lush gardens and parks.

The Victoria and Butchart Gardens Tour provides an overall tour of the city as well as the Butchart Gardens. You will take a ferry ride through the Gulf Islands, after which you will be taken to the Butchart Gardens, a world-class botanical center that features themed gardens with over 5,000 types of flowers. The Butchart Gardens is an unforgettable experience. After touring the gardens, you will have time to explore Victoria, including the famous Fairmont Empress Hotel, which serves a traditional High Tea service.

With the Crosswater Vancouver to Victoria tour,  you will have time to explore and experience Victoria on your own schedule. Whether you want to dedicate an afternoon to shopping in the variety of stores or seasonal open market or spend the day exploring buildings and museums like the Parliament or Royal BC Museum, the day is yours to plan. Transportation to and from Vancouver is convenient: a motor coach will pick you up, and then you will meet the coach at a designated time in Victoria to return to Vancouver.

Another local attraction close enough to Vancouver for a great day trip is the Harrison Hot Springs Tour. This tour will take you to the Harrison Hot Springs. You will be able to enjoy the quaint town and local stores and cuisine as well as take a refreshing dip in the hot springs. Getting to Harrison will provide you with beautiful views as you take a ferry across the Fraser River and board a coach that takes you down a scenic highway to Harrison. This is a unique tour that will leave you refreshed as you return to Vancouver.
