Your journey to Victoria begins with a scenic sailing aboard BC Ferries, departing from Tsawwassen and gliding through the picturesque waters of Active Pass — a narrow strait nestled between Mayne and Galiano Islands. Keep your eyes peeled for harbor seals, sea lions, bald eagles, and passing vessels as the ferry hugs the shoreline, offering close-up views of the islands' rugged beauty and the iconic Active Pass Lighthouse. Once you arrive in Victoria, BC, you’ll discover a vibrant coastal gem filled with unforgettable experiences. Couples can stroll hand-in-hand through the enchanting Butchart Gardens, unwind with cocktails by the sparkling Inner Harbour, or cozy up in a historic stay like the Fairmont Empress. Families will love the excitement of whale-watching tours, exploring the Butterfly Gardens, or coming face-to-face with life-sized mammoths at the Royal BC Museum.
Sail to Victoria from $49
Saver fares are available on select sailings between Vancouver (Tsawwassen) and Victoria (Swartz Bay) starting from $49 for a car & driver. Plus, you can change your booking up to one hour before departure for a $5 change fee.
