Butchart Gardens
World-renowned garden featuring seasonal floral displays, themed gardens, and evening fireworks
Summarized by AI

Come in spring for tulips and bulbs, summer for roses, concerts, and Saturday fireworks with evening illuminations, fall for glowing Japanese maples, or winter for the Magic of Christmas with 12 Days of Christmas displays, lights, and an outdoor ice rink. Ride the carousel, explore accessible walking paths, browse the gift shop for seeds and local products, and finish with high tea, fine dining, or a casual meal on-site.
Sombrio Beach
Rugged beach popular for surfing, hiking, and discovering a hidden waterfall
Summarized by AI
At Sombrio Beach you can surf consistent, surf-friendly waves with both beach and reef breaks, beachcomb along rocky and sandy shoreline, and watch surfers almost year-round. Wander the pebbled beach at low tide to explore tidal pools and hunt for the hidden waterfall tucked in a mossy canyon—walk left along the shore, find the small stream, and follow it inland. Spend the day hiking forested trails, storm or whale watching, picnicking on driftwood logs, or camping with an adventurous, wild-beach vibe.
Elk Lake
Scenic lake offering trails, fishing, kayaking, and family-friendly beaches
Summarized by AI
At Elk Lake you can walk, run, or cycle the well-marked 10 km trail that loops around Elk and Beaver Lakes through old-growth-style forest, with rest stops and toilet facilities along the way. Spend the day on the sandy and grassy beaches, swimming in calm water, paddleboarding, kayaking, or watching rowers train. Families can use kids’ playgrounds and protected swimming areas, then spread out for picnics and sunset views. Birdwatching, fishing, and shorter lakeside strolls offer quieter ways to unwind.
French Beach
Family-friendly beach with sand, pebbles, picnic areas, and temperate rainforest trails
Summarized by AI
At French Beach Provincial Park you can stroll an expansive mix of sand and pebble shoreline, wander among driftwood, and watch the rolling rocks move with the tide. Spend the day picnicking on wide grassy lawns with fire pits and picnic tables, while kids enjoy the playground and flat, paved paths that work well for strollers and wheelchairs. Explore tide pools at low tide, hike forested trails with creeks and bridges, and watch for seabirds, bald eagles, and migrating whales. Come for dramatic storm-watching, colourful sunrises and sunsets, and camping by the ocean.
Mystic Beach
Scenic beach with a waterfall, sea caves, and a suspension bridge along a lush forest trail
Summarized by AI
At Mystic Beach you can walk the sandy shoreline, beachcomb, and picnic while watching a waterfall pour straight off the cliffs onto the sand. Explore sea caves and unique rock formations at low tide, and, if conditions allow, step under the waterfall or try the rope swing nearby. Reaching the beach is part of the experience: a 2 km intermediate hike through lush old-growth forest with boardwalks, roots, and mud. Along the way you’ll cross a suspension bridge high over a stream before descending a log staircase to this rugged West Coast coastline.
Sooke Potholes Provincial Park
Natural park with unique rock formations, crystal-clear pools, and scenic hiking trails
Summarized by AI
At Sooke Potholes Provincial Park you can swim in glacier-carved rock pools, plunge into crystal-clear mountain water, or relax on large flat rocks, pebble beaches, and small sandy stretches. Hike forest and riverbank trails to viewpoints, explore from bottom to top, and find quieter “lake-like” spots and cliff-jumping areas if you’re adventurous. It’s an easy place to spend the day picnicking, photographing waterfalls, rock formations, and huge trees, and in fall you can watch the salmon spawning in the nearby Sooke River and continue along the Galloping Goose Trail.

All about Victoria
Perched on the southern tip of beautiful Vancouver Island, Victoria is a classic Pacific Northwest maritime town brimming with charm and culture. Cruise ships, yachts, and sailboats glide through its ports; visitors roam the lively wharf; and offshore, it’s not uncommon to see whales putting on a show. Wander inland and you’ll find that British Columbia’s capital city is full of ornate Edwardian architecture, expansive public gardens, and ample bike paths. Among Victoria’s significant structures are its late-19th-century Parliament Buildings, whose grand facades glow with festive lights at night, and the genteel Empress Hotel, opened in 1908, where you can still take high tea. Victoria is also home to the oldest Chinatown in Canada, where you can find the country’s narrowest street, shopping corridor Fan Tan Alley. Add to this mix three colleges, world-class museums, picturesque rainforests, driftwood-dotted beaches, and stunning shoreline views, and Victoria is a perfect blend of urbane and outdoorsy.
What are the top things to do in Victoria?

This sprawling waterfront green space is the heart of Victoria’s park system. Its lush environs include picturesque lily ponds and stands of majestic and rare Garry oak trees. You’ll also find an ornate totem pole carved by acclaimed artist and First Nations member Mungo Martin, and the Moss Lady, a large, whimsical sculpture of a giant taking a nap on the park floor.
Miniature World
Travel the globe in a few strides at this museum housing more than 85 teensy dioramas of places real and imagined. London, outer space, and Camelot are just a few of the locales painstakingly recreated in miniature and populated with residents no bigger than a thumbnail. These motorized exhibits include mini trains that zip around, and doll-sized carnival rides that spin and light up.
Craigdarroch Castle
Known colloquially as a bonanza castle, this staggering temple to wealth sits on a hill overlooking Victoria. Built by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir between 1887 and 1890, this imposing four-floor Victorian estate is replete with stained-glass windows, intricate wood carvings, and antique furnishings. Take a tour of its opulent rooms and ponder the cleaning routine.
