Butchart Gardens and Victoria Sightseeing Tour from Vancouver

Butchart Gardens are sensational
Our guide Bernie was just lovely and was on time for my pick up near my hotel. He was friendly with a dry sense of humour ! The ferry was a scenic journey to Vancouver Island and then we had time there before going on to Butchart Garden which was sensational ! that took and Bernie adjusted our departure time so we could have a bit longer there which was great. As I was the last to be dropped off at the end he even dropped me outside the hotel as it was late at night and I was by myself. Thanks Bernie much appreciated!

An Unforgettable Day in Victoria & Butchart Gardens - Highly Recommended
We had a wonderful experience exploring Victoria and the Butchart Gardens. Everything was perfectly organized and the gardens were absolutely breathtaking, even more beautiful than the photos.We were very well guided by Stephen and Sukahan, who were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the whole day. They made the trip smooth, fun, and full of great local insights.Victoria itself is such a charming city, but with their guidance it became truly special. If you are thinking about visiting, don't hesitate - this tour is 100% recommended!Thank you again Stephen and Sukahan for such a memorable day!

Everything about our tour was fantastic from Joel our guide to Simram our driver. I am telling other family and friends to book only with Star Sightseeing with Joel and Simran. Joel had great information about the area , culture , food and people.

An amazing day in Victoria, B.C.
Bernie was very knowledgeable about the area and it's history. We always appreciate learning about the country we are visiting. His driving was exemplary and his jokes kept us laughing, or at least groaning while smiling! We were warned that it would be a long day, and it was, but well worth the time and energy expended. Seeing the magnificent Butchart Gardens in the late afternoon gave us great lighting for photos and less crowds. We highly recommend this tour while in the Vancouver area.

Great water view and tour of Vancouver Island. Very well organized and a friendly staff. All four adults loved it. We went on a day with almost no wind and 65 degrees. A t-shirt with a light sweater was fine. If things get too cold, you can go inside, which has nice big picture windows for viewing.

Granite Falls Zodiac Tour by Vancouver Water Adventures

Paul was Phenomenal❣️
Great experience. It’d be better to have more detail about the meetup point. A landmark in the instruction: ‘walk on the boardwalk near the Vancouver Fish Company.” An automobile can’t get there; you must walk to their office. Otherwise, it truly was excellent. Paul, our boat operator, was friendly, he knew the history, explained sites, gave helpful instructions, was patient and fun! A highly recommended activity and I would do it again on a future trip.

Fab 3 hours - didn’t hurt that the weather was good, but some amazing scenery, great tour guide / captain Paul and all the other passengers very kindly put up with my terrible sense of humour. The only downside for me was I would’ve loved a brief run at full speed, but otherwise, a great way to spend 3 hours

Relaxing Way to See Vancouver from the Water
We really enjoyed this one-hour harbour cruise around Vancouver. It was a nice, relaxing way to take a break from sightseeing on foot and see the city and surrounding area from a completely different perspective.The cruise takes you around Vancouver Harbour and across toward North Vancouver, with views of the city, the shipyards, the port and the sulphur facility along the waterfront. The narration is prerecorded and provides information about the different sights as you cruise along.One of the highlights was when the crew came on personally to point out an area where we could see sea lions, which was a fun surprise.The hour was just the right amount of time — long enough to see quite a bit of the harbour without taking up a large part of the day. The boat ride was comfortable and relaxing, and we enjoyed being out on the water and seeing another side of Vancouver.We’re glad we included the harbour cruise in our visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy and enjoyable way to see Vancouver from the water.

Great whale watching adventure

Vancouver Whale Watch Large Zodiac Tour with Guide
Folashade_F, Sep 2026
Great whale watching adventure
Great experience, everything ran on time, well organised; friendly, knowledgeable and competent tour staff. We saw humpbacks, orcas, seals, sea lions, porpoises and even salmon leaping out of the water! We also booked a shuttle which arrived promptly and was comfortable. For the prices we paid it was well worth the money. I had had to contact them on a few occasions prior to the tour and they always responded on time. However one thing that could have ruined the experience was the directions for the shuttle pickup in American English: "kitty corner to...." As a European I didn't have a clue what this meant. Good thing I was able to call them for clarification as I was waiting on the wrong side of the road at a busy intersection and would have missed the shuttle! So it would be advisable to issue instructions that are universal for everyone to understand, not just N. American.
