Vancouver & Victoria: Discover Canada's Pacific Coast Gardens and Natural Wonders

Canada's western-most province is famous for its vibrant coastal cities and natural wonders and this 9-day/7-night holiday has been carefully curated to immerse our travellers in everything it has to offer.

With the Pacific Ocean on one side and towering mountains on the other, Vancouver is a jewel of Canada's west coast, blending a vibrant cultural scene with extraordinary land – and sea – scapes. Based here for 4 nights, our guests will visit three extraordinary gardens; set sail on Howe Sound to see whales, orcas, dolphins and eagles; take a fascinating walk through an outdoor gallery of indigenous art and go sea-foraging with a chef and wildcrafter.

Set on Vancouver Island, Victoria is British Columbia's capital and is arguably one of Canada's most picturesque cities. Known as the 'City of Gardens' it is a botanical delight, and our programme includes a visit to the world famous Butchart Gardens. With 3 nights in the city, our guests will also discover Victoria's beautiful harbour, its rich British history and internationally acclaimed art and food scene.
