Visit the world-famous Butchart Gardens, one of Victoria's most popular sights and marvel at this celebrated attraction as well as the lush and exotic Victoria Butterfly Gardens. A narrated, scenic drive brings you to Butchart Gardens, a 55-acre nature lover's paradise for an independent, self-guided 1.5-hour tour which includes such highlights as the Italian, Japanese, Rose and Sunken gardens, all linked by spacious lawns, streams and lily ponds. Take a ride on the Rose Carousel (fare not included), and relax on the lawn before transferring to the Victoria Butterfly Gardens. Wander among a multitude of butterflies in this 12,000-square-foot garden resplendent with lush foliage and waterways. Get your camera ready and capture the beauty of the surroundings and the 30 different species of your delicate, new friends. A scenic drive back to port completes your memorable day.

Special Notes:

The content of this tour is identical to YYJ-330. Only guests using a wheelchair can book this tour, as it ensures accessible transportation. Due to the specialized nature of some lift-equipped vehicles, priority is given to guests using a wheelchair and one companion only; additional companions may be required to travel on the transportation provided for tour YYJ-330. Bookings not marked with an accessibility requirement will be removed from the tour's inventory.

This tour can accommodate manual and electric wheelchairs. The lift on the vehicle can accommodate a maximum weight of 550 lbs., maximum length of 43 inches and maximum width of 31 inches. Passengers with disabilities must contact the onboard Tour Office at least 48 hours prior to the excursion to ensure arrangements can be made to meet their particular needs.

This tour is usually conducted in the evening and sunlight/visibility will be limited; however, portions of the garden are illuminated with subtle lighting displays. For daytime calls this tour will operate in full natural light, so nighttime illuminations are not necessary. A fireworks show is included at Butchart Gardens every Saturday evening from July 8 to September 2. Due to limited daylight hours in early May and mid-September, this tour may not be offered.
