Rudyard Kipling raved that Victoria was
a blend of all the best places he had ever seen and in 1842, James
Douglas of the Hudson's Bay Company proclaimed it "as perfect
as Eden".
Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia,
Canada is a pacific northwest island paradise. This enchanting little
city boasts the best of all worlds. Explore windswept beaches that
surround the city on three sides, marvel at migrating pods when
you take an exciting whale watching expedition, feed a hungry harbour
seal at Fisherman's Wharf, take a romantic carriage ride up Government
Street and experience the thrill of seeing an eagle soar downtown
in Beacon Hill Park.
At the heart of this charmed haven is a
bustling Inner Harbour filled with marine wildlife excursions, attractions
and activities. Adventurers can try their hand at deep sea fishing,
sailing, power boating, ocean kayaking or trail blazing by bike
or by foot . For those who prefer more relaxing activities Victoria
offers year-round, world-class golf courses to conquer, century
old architecture to explore, art galleries and antique shops to
browse. Discover spectacular gardens, an abundance of cosmopolitan
restaurants, local breweries, theatre, music, festivals and all
the ambiance you would expect from a culture steeped in British
tradition.
