“Had an amazing time on the ferry from Vancover to Victoria. The islands we passed were gorgeous. The Butchart Gardens were spectacular in the fall. Visited both in the summer and fall, fall time was totally different. Vibrant colors made for a beautiful place. Walking on the waterfront on a beautiful sunny day with family was the highlight of our trip. If visiting Vancover, make sure you spend a day in Victoria on the ferry, and enjoy the views.”
