Victoria sits at the south end of Vancouver Island.
With ocean straits on two sides and
with a view of the Olympic Mountain Range in the USA it provides a stunning setting for this city. The Inner Harbour is at the heart of the city, with its beautiful buildings and the continual comings and goings of sea planes, water taxis, yachts, passenger ferries, pedicabs and buses create a lively ambiance.
Victoria offers a wealth of entertainments and sights. Some of the wonderful places to visit include: The Parliament Buildings, The Empress Hotel, Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle, Royal British Colombia Museum, James Bay, Chinatown, Crystal Gardens and Thunderbird Park. Whether you enjoy lively nightclubs, shopping, theatre or fine dining you will find it here.
Sidney
Not only does Sidney have the charm and character of a seaside community, but has a wonderful variety of stores, speciality shops and restaurants - providing unique products and a personalised service. During the summer the main street closes on a Thursday evening to host a very popular street market.
Boat lovers will enjoy the facilities offered at any
