Just a quick note to thank you for all your help and our fabulous day in Victoria. Lotus Land Tours took all the worry out of what could have been a difficult day. Instead, we saw Vancouver and adjacent islands from the air on a glorious morning, hopped into Victoria harbor with the fabulous flowers spelling out "Welcome" and had a wonderful day in the museums, the town, tea at the Empress and Butchart Gardens! Back to Vancouver by ferry and then coach right to our hotel door. What more could we ask for? At the end of August, this was the perfect send off for our children headed to college ! |
So near and yet so far
As the crow flies, Victoria is only about 40 km (25 miles) from Vancouver. However the city is located on Vancouver Island and getting there requires crossing the Strait of Georgia and traveling through some of the most spectacular scenery in the North West Pacific. You leave the bus on the ferry to enjoy the passage from the deck of the ferry. While scenic, the overland route to Victoria takes about 4 hours and a return bus trip leaves little time in Victoria.
We offer various travel options including a one-way and two-way float plane ride and return by bus or speed boat.
Spend more of your day in Victoria and select a travel option that suits your budget and time table. You will be back in Vancouver in time for dinner.
