Exciting Activities to Experience in Victoria, BC Posted on April 27, 2024July 12, 2024 By Travelworldwide Are you planning a trip to Victoria, British Columbia? If so, you’re in for a treat! Victoria, located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast, offers a plethora of activities and attractions, all within a short distance from downtown. As someone who grew up in Victoria, I have some great suggestions for you. If you’re arriving in Victoria as part of a cruise, you’re just minutes away from some of the city’s top attractions. For those coming by ferry or air, public transportation is readily available to take you downtown. You can choose to ride Victoria’s unique double-decker buses or take a taxi. One of my favorite activities in Victoria is walking along the waterfront and the breakwater causeway. This scenic spot offers stunning views of ships entering the inner harbor, scuba divers navigating the breakwater blocks, and the distant Olympic Mountains in Washington State. For those who enjoy walking, there are two great options nearby. From the port, you can take a leisurely stroll to Victoria’s inner harbor, passing by Fisherman’s Wharf. This popular spot is perfect for grabbing a seafood snack or meal from one of the many outlets. Whether it’s fish & chips or oyster burgers, Fisherman’s Wharf is a hit with both locals and tourists. A bit further down the road, you’ll reach the bustling Inner Harbour. This area is packed with activities and attractions, making it easy to spend an entire day exploring. If you’re looking to relax, Beacon Hill Park is just a short walk from the cruise ship terminal. This beautiful park offers ocean views, a playground, and a unique petting zoo, making it a great spot for families. You can also enjoy the rose gardens and grab some ice cream from the nearby Beacon Drive-In, a local favorite known for its delicious ice cream and shakes. For those interested in more structured activities, Victoria offers whale watching tours, horse-drawn carriage rides, pirate ship tours, and visits to the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. No matter what you choose to do, a day in Victoria is sure to be memorable, leaving you eager to return. Blog
