oised at the southernmost tip of Vancouver
Island, Victoria is surrounded by water.
Downtown restaurants and shops pour into
the central harbour, which is a hive of activity. Dockside
markets and pop-up concerts are flanked by the iconic
Parliament Buildings and The Fairmont Empress hotel.
You could easily spend hours here, but for those who
enjoy the water this is just the start. Aquatic adventures
stretch in every direction: white-sand beaches, breaching
whales and teeming tidepools are all within easy reach.
