Long day (12 hrs) but worth it. Get to see great scenery on the ferry boat (1.5 hrs each way), gardens were magnificent (1.25 hrs), and free time in Victoria (almost 2 hrs). Our driver/guide Dave was excellent and provided a great but not annoying commentary throughout the tour.

The day long excursion is worth the trip. Buschardt Gardens are stunning. Royal Museum in Victoria exhibits are worthy. Best part was Herman! Our guide was informative and fun!
