My wife and I had a wonderful time on this amazing excursion! The seaplane was really awesome as it was a really nice morning and you were able to enjoy the great scenery and landscape from the sky. Victoria really made the trip worth it though, the city has a really fun feel and some nice shopping and street vendors. We took the shuttle to the gardens and the driver was very witty and informative. The gardens were gorgeous as expected and the boat ride back was nice with some whale sightings that we stopped and checked out. We would highly recommend this trip for anyone, we were a little nervous since its a little on the expensive side... but it was definitely worth it!!

We had an amazing day on this trip. Everything was well organised from pickup at our hotel, to the seaplane flight, the transport to the gardens and the fast boat home. We had plenty of time to walk around Victoria to the fisherman's wharf and spent a lovely afternoon wandering through the spectacular Butchart Gardens. This tour is highly recommended as a great way to see Victoria and the gardens in one day.

What a great trip! The staff are so nice and accommodating. They picked us up from our hotel and the flight was smooth and very scenic. We had several hours in Victoria before boarding the bus to the Gardens, which were beautiful. The boat ride back was enjoyable but it would have been nice if they had adult beverages available. Wonderful time!

An excellent experience with so much crammed into 1 day. First time in a seaplane, amazing, a very smooth take off from Vancouver and landing in Victoria, flight took about 1/2 hour, the views were really something. Plenty of time to spend in Victoria before taking 1 of 3 services by bus the the Butchart Gardens. Whilst in Victoria, we took advantage of an open top bus tour around Victoria on an old Routemaster bus, great fun and a good way to appreciate beautiful Victoria. Then on to Butchart Gardens with lovely plants and garden areas. You progress through the gardens making your way to a jetty at the north end. You must make sure you are there in good time for the speed boat ride back to Vancouver, it takes approx 2 1/2 hours. This skirts around the islands around Vancouver Island and then heads back to Vancouver city. If you miss this, it will take a long time to get back to the city - 5 hrs ! All in all a really enjoyable day with lots to see.

Efficient and fun way to see Victoria and Butchart Gardens. We took the 8:40 flight and had plenty of time in both places. No guide which is what we were looking for...plus we saw Orcas on the way back to Vancouver. Peter set us up perfectly!
