Overview

SINGLE TRAVELLERS GET IN TOUCH TO BOOK.

Explore Victoria, BC, on a guided tour that focuses on the wildlife found in the urban area. Visit at least 3 different scenic locations and witness some of the animals that populate Victoria.

The locations vary depending on the present wildlife and season but are mostly coastal viewpoints or local parks and one cemetery. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed and vary depending on the season and weather.

Most likely, you will see seabirds and reef creatures like anemones and feather dusters, deer, and occasionally seals, sea lions, salmon migrating, and birds of prey. This tour involves a little walking on flat surfaces and is suitable for everyone, except children under 5 due to vehicle constraints.

After you meet your guide, you will hop on a quick drive to your first location. Remember, your guide wants to see wildlife as much as you do, but sometimes the animals can be shy, and you might get a few sightings.

    Ross Bay Cemetery

    Unexpected stop, but many cemeteries are small oases for wildlife. This historical site features the graves of many of Victoria's most famous deceased residents, such as Emily Carr but it also feeds and shelters many resident deer and birds.

    Fisherman's Wharf

    What a stop! Visiting the Wharf is always exciting. From the food stop to the resident wildlife, this stop is always a highlight. Walk to the quiet end of the dock to spot our more shy residents like otters and seals, and peek under to marvel at the colourful creatures clinging to the docks, like feather duster worms (cuter than it sounds), plumose anemones, mussels and sea squirts.
