Love Victoria - Wonderful day trip. Highly recommend Harbor Air. The gardens are breathtaking and you can easily walk the garden in 2 hours. The bus ride takes 35-40 minutes. Victoria is a must see. Beautiful city

Not worth the price - Way too expensive for the added convenience of flying to Victoria. No guides for the gardens or Victoria.
