Why should I visit Victoria B.C?

Victoria is a friendly and exciting mid sized city at the southern tip of Vancouver Island. This region has a rich history of Native culture, British influence and Asian emigration. The wonderful natural resources have been carefully preserved and can be explored in many ways. The gentle urbanism of Victoria means there is plenty of excitement but you’re never far from the peace of nature.

Where is Victoria B.C?

Perched on Vancouver Island the City looks out across the wide Juan de Fuca Strait towards the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains. It can be reached by ferry via the San Juans, mainland Canada, or Port Angeles. The ferries mainly dock in Sidney B.C, but the Port Angeles route docks right in Victoria.
