Review the Vancouver to Victoria seaplane day trip, including Butchart Gardens, flight views, timing, costs, transfers, and practical tips.
“Check 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.”
