Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
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:
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. Due to limited daylight hours in early May and mid-September, this tour may not be offered.Provided: Butchart Gardens map
