With hip, barista-led cafes and trendy bars tucked away amongst elegant colonial architecture and pods of killer whales off the coastline, Victoria combines cosmopolitan charm with spectacular wildlife encounters. Go from afternoon tea in the refined surroundings of a quaintly British establishment to the choppy waves of the Straits of Georgia to really discover this varied charm.
Zodiac boats head out in search of whales, with minke, orca and gray whales all resident in the waters during the summer months. Once back onshore, you’re rewarded with a wealth of fine restaurants and bars and a chance to dive into Victoria’s burgeoning food scene.
