Ferry and Sea plane were great but…

3.00The plane ride and ferry were awesome! Victoria you can hit the highlights pretty quick and well I got bored waiting for the bus ride back. The bus ride is 50 minutes to the ferry, the bus goes on the ferry than it’s another hour + to get back to fairmont in Vancouver. Would have liked a more direct route back.
Vancouver Island Victoria Experience.

5.00It was quite a long day but thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the seaplan ride with Harbour Air. They were all very friendly and helpful. Victoria is a beautiful place. Lots to see and do. Plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed the hop on and off bus trip. The ferry ride back was lovely with some stunning scenery passing all those islands and islets.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Victoria

5.00Everything excellent except the truck back from the port to the city center which was very slow and the driver should speak better as we do not all have English as a native language
So much fun! Seaplane...
