views of the beautiful Gulf Islands from either the outside sundeck or comfortable

day exploring this charming city at your leisure.

Day 2, Butchart GardensFrom Victoria's Inner Harbour, discover the Butchart
Gardens, named a National Historic Site of Canada in 2004, the 100th birthday of
the gardens. 22 hectares (55 acres) of breathtaking gardens on the 53-hectare (130
acre) estate are visited by more than a million people each year. The gardens are
glorious any time of year. Once at the gardens, stroll through the floral splendor
which greets you at every turn. Return to downtown Victoria on a shuttle
convenient for you.

Day 3, Whale-watching & Downtown Food & City Walking Tour

3-hour Whale Watching ExcursionThis coastal excursion is an exhilarating round
trip of 50 to 80 kilometres in search of orcas, minke whales, grey whales,
porpoises, harbour seals, and other marine wildlife. You will ride aboard a
comfortable covered vessel giving you an exhilarating, safe and intimate whale
watching experience. Comments by a certified marine biologist and naturalist are
provided.

The Orca Spirit offers you all the amenities to enjoy your whale watching
expedition in absolute comfort, while offering the choice to feel the wind in your
face, smell the sea air and get up close and personal with the great mammals of
the deep on our outdoor upper or lower decks. Inside, comfy seats and expansive
windows give you a great vantage point to look at the whales while staying warm
and dry whatever the weather. Educational books and videos are available for
your enjoyment, as are snacks, beer, wine and cocktails. We offer our passengers
complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and provide jackets and binoculars
on request free of charge. The Orca Spirit is also equipped with full washroom
facilities and a designated wheelchair accessible area.

2-hour Downtown Food & City TourThe Fort and Blanshard Corridor is one of the
most exciting downtown neighbourhoods to experience food in Victoria. Teeming
with local small restaurants, quirky shops, and home to the emerging tech sector,
this bustling area is where the locals shop, eat, and hang out. Join this tour to
visit 8 local shops and visit historic sites such as St. Andrew's Cathedral and the
iconic Royal Theatre.

Start your tour at the ingredient-driven restaurant, The Courtenay Room.
Recently listed as one of the top 10 new restaurants in Canada by En Route
Magazine, this beautiful French bistro will sure to get our taste buds excited for
what's to come. Did you know that 95% of BC wine is consumed within BC and
that we are now the largest producing wine region in Canada? So, drink it while
you are here! We then dive right into Victoria's best kept secrets like fresh warm
cookies from The Cookie Guy (voted one of the top 10 emerging entrepreneurs in
the city), house-smoked and cured meats from Choux Choux Charcuterie, a
mole-infused taco from La Taquisa, a selection of Middle Eastern street food from
Yalla, a unique Asian-inspired tea from ParTea and finally some mind blowing
