Perfect one-day excursion to Victoria

Published on Sep, 2024

Great day in Victoria seeing Butchart Gardens and exploring downtown Victoria. Despite delay in seaplane departure from Vancouver, the day more than met our expectations.

Expensive but worth w

Published on Sep, 2024

Great company… weather can always be tricky, so trips do get cancelled.. we were able to make it out, and the weather was beautiful. Even my husband, who is not really into flowers, loved Butchart gardens. Our bus driver was fabulous and informative, and the views on the way back in the sea plane were amazing. Highly recommend!!

Easy and Fun!

Published on Aug, 2024

Such an easy and convenient way to see Victoria and the Gardens in the same day! Our flight was packed with gorgeous views and The Gardens were stunning. All the staff from the airline to the bus driver were super friendly and informative.

Great day in Victoria

Published on Aug, 2024

Seaplane was a great experience and fast to get to Victoria. Since we arrived early we were able to get to Butchart Garden before the crowds. We went through the wonderful gardens with ease and they were beautiful. We then had plenty of time to explore Victoria. Great little city with lots to see.

Butchart Gardens

Published on Aug, 2024

We had a great time. The float plane was fun and the fly crew was friendly and pleasant. Our driver on the bus ride, Pam, was very friendly and knowledgeable and the Butchart Gardens were stunning. We did the afternoon tea in the restaurant and that was fabulous!
