An incredible way to experience British Columbia’s capital and surrounds, this trip connects cosmopolitan Vancouver with historic and hip Victoria by both air and sea. Conveniently departing from downtown Vancouver aboard a sleek, modern catamaran, enjoy a scenic crossing with local cuisine and wine, free Wi-Fi and your own comfortable leather seat.

Watch for whales, eagles and seals as you journey through the pristine Southern Gulf Islands, then arrive to Victoria’s inner harbor and your accommodation: the Fairmont Empress. This landmark building commands a regal presence in the city and overlooks the cobblestone streets where your food tour takes place.

Indulge in delicious Canadian treats, explore the world-famous Butchart Gardens and return to Vancouver by seaplane for an entirely new perspective.
