Insider Tips

  • Take the BC Ferries from Vancouver — the 90-minute ride through the Gulf Islands is scenic
  • Butchart Gardens is genuinely world-class (book the evening illuminations in summer)
  • Whale watching season (April–October) almost guarantees orcas and humpbacks
  • Fisherman's Wharf has floating homes and the best fish tacos in BC
