Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

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:

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.
