3.00it was good but no seating reservation on sea plane, which is little in convenient. Major issue was too expensive. Butchart garden ticket only $80 CAN and Sea plane arround $100CAN one way. But we paid close to $1500 CAN for two way ( returned) sea plane and Butchart garden trip Bus fare from Hotel Fairmont Empress to Butchart Garden ( two way) should not be that expensive Over all It's too expensive and unreasonable.
A Hectic Day of Traveling

3.00Check in to Victoria was clumsy. My flight to there was delayed by 15 minutes. No explanation. Upon arrival, another check in to Buchart Garden. It took 20 minutes to queue but the coach arrived late by 35 minutes. Me and other people were merged with another tourist group who were on their travel midway. That's the main cause of the delay albeit not solely because of traffic jam. To my surprise, my return flight to Vancouver city was as smooth as one would normally expect, no delay.
Beware of Weather in Vancouver!

2.00We were never able to take this tour. The first day we could not take off on our seaplane trip due to foggy weather. Harbour Air was great about helping us to re-schedule for the next day. We were able to take off from Vancouver, but could not land in Victoria due to fog on the second day. There was no third day for us as we were scheduled to leave the third day. Sadly we never got to visit Butchart Gardens, which was the whole point of this Vancouver visit. If there’s a next time, we’ll ride the ferry.
Perfect one-day excursion to Victoria

5.00Great day in Victoria seeing Butchart Gardens and exploring downtown Victoria. Despite delay in seaplane departure from Vancouver, the day more than met our expectations.
