About this guide

VancouverVictoriaButchart.com is an independent visitor guide to the day trip from Vancouver to Victoria and the Butchart Gardens. We are not The Butchart Gardens, BC Ferries, Landsea Tours or any other tour operator, and we are not Viator. The site name describes the trip we write about, not a business. We compare the bookable tours so you can pick the right day first time.

Facts on this site are checked against the official Butchart Gardens rates and hours, published ferry information, the live Viator listings (including hundreds of recent guest reviews) and current visitor guidance for Victoria. Prices and schedules move; when a listing and this page disagree, the checkout price wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including pointing out how long the day is and what a tour does not include. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
