What are people saying about Victoria

Malahat SkyWalk Tickets

Lynn_T, Aug 2026

Wonderful experience!

This skywalk is a marvel in construction. The walk to the Tower is built in the forest. You feel like you are on the canopy of the forest. The climb up is gradual and very comfortable. Our fifteen year old loved the slide about ten stories up! He went down three times. The views from above are spectacular! Highly recommend this activity. Earlier is best; it gets busy quickly.

Victoria Zipline Adventure Tour

Jhoanne_B, Aug 2026

Super fun and they...

Super fun and they prioritize your safety! One of the block brakes broke during our Canopy Tour (FYI— great for newbs like me) but the team figured out a way to get us down by tandem-ziplining every single one of us. Shout out to Paige and Skylar for the quick pivot and rescue. Really appreciate our guides, Gigi and Avery for keeping up the energy and calming everyone down. Overall a great experience.

The Butchart Gardens Express Shuttle from Downtown Victoria

Dawn_O, Aug 2026

Easy and flexible tour

Very easy to book online and a lot cheaper than booking on the cruise ship. Easy to find the check- in, commentary by the driver in both directions. The return bus leaves Butchart Gardens on the hour so you can spend as long as you like without the time pressure of an organised trip

Great whale watching!!

Great experience! Our crew Capt. Francois, 1st Mate- Taylor, Rhiaran, Sam and Michael were great on letting us know about looking at the whales and sea lions, as well as giving us the history about them. Coffee and hot chocolate was a great bonus as well as having snacks that you could buy. Very impressed with the entire trip. Would definitely recommend it and do it again.

Victoria Guided Food and History Tour

Claire_V, Aug 2026

Fun knowledgeable guide!

Andy was an exceptional guide. Upbeat, knowledgeable, and humorous. The pace was relaxing and took us to areas and establishments we wouldn’t have found on our own. The food choices were mostly excellent; especially the ube bun stop! We are inspired to do more food tours when traveling. Great experience!

Victoria Whale Watch Tour

Lori_H, Aug 2026

Whale sightings

Well done crew! The entire excursion was meaningful and crew was/ is more than willing to chat all things nature! Had such peaceful seas and we did see orca matrilines and a humpback whale, Scuttles. We are left with one burning question. What are those inflated dancing “men” on the docks??? Crew are currently researching, Standing by for their findings!! Hahaha!

Ghostly Walking Tour in Victoria

Matt_A, Jul 2026

Ghostly Tour

My girlfriend and I took the Ghostly Walk tour in Victoria last night and had a great time. The price felt very reasonable for the experience. Our guide, Asher, was friendly, engaging, and did a great job making each story entertaining while adding just the right amount of spooky atmosphere. This is definitely a family-friendly tour. The stories are interesting and eerie without being too frightening, so I think kids would enjoy it as well. Even as adults, my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun learning about Victoria’s history and hearing the ghost stories connected to the different locations. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun evening activity in Victoria.

Victoria Panorama Scenic Seaplane Tour

Glenis_G, Jul 2026

Highly recommended

Fabulous experience from checking in to the flight. Checking in was easy and comfortable lounge. Great staff helping us onto plan. Flight was longer than we thought, starting at Inner Harbour and then flying over City. Only downside is if the pilot had pointed out things we were flying over but then we would have needed earphones. Highly recommended

Victoria Zodiac Boat Whale Watching Adventure

Purvi_V, May 2026

Best boat weather

We had amazing weather at the end of May, so the boat was extremely enjoyable. Staff and our captain at the Prince of Whales were kind and helpful. We saw a few bald eagles, sea lions, seals, and even got very close enough to a pod of orcas to hear them breathe out their spout when they can l came to the surface!

Took the morning run. Had great weather. Easy walking distance from downtown. Less than 15 minutes from the Empress. Sign at end of driveway on Kingston Street.
