An extraordinary world emerges at dusk as hundreds of hidden lights transform the famous Butchart Gardens, a National Historical Site of Canada, into a fairyland scented with summer blooms. A guided city tour transports you to this magical world of themed gardens, spacious lawns and meandering pathways. Your 1.75-hour, self-guided tour affords ample time to appreciate the splendor of the area and to purchase refreshments or visit the well-appointed gift shop. In the evening, the grounds are gracefully illuminated with a variety of colored lights and magical effects. The nightly transformation, known as Night Illuminations, is as unique as it is breathtaking. The magnificent Rose Fountain, the centerpiece of these lush gardens, dances with creative lighting while outdoor entertainment accompanies the effects. At the conclusion of your magical evening, return via motorcoach through downtown Victoria to port.

Special Notes:

The content of this tour is identical to YYJ-310. 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-310. 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. Please be sure to read the "Accessible Cruising" information on the home page of Princess.com.

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. On a few daytime calls this tour will operate in full daylight, so nighttime illuminations are not required. Due to limited daylight hours in early May and mid-September, this tour may not be offered.
