Heather1972 Posted July 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi all - We only have 6 hours in Victoria in late August from 6 pm to midnight. I'm thinking if we want to do Butchart Gardens, we should book through the cruise line right? I'm just shocked over the prices though. :eek: But it's such a tight turn around, I don't want something to happen and us miss the cruise leaving port! If we don't do that, what do you suggest doing? We don't plan on staying out until midnight either! My son would be exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlxo Posted July 31, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Butchart is a 15 miles from the dock.... a cruise tour helps to ensure you don't miss the boat. Some get a taxi.... but 15 miles in a cab may be close to that price. Here's a vid to give you ideas on what to do in port from one cruise line....

Giantfan13 Posted August 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2016 We were also in Victoria for the same 6 hours and since we do not do ship's sponsored tours, we didn't want to chance doing the Gardens. We chose, instead, to do a 'Ghost Tour' and if you are into things like this, it was very good. I do not have the company we used, but it was very reasonable, left from the harbor area at 8:30 and was about a 2 hour tour. We took a taxi back to the ship afterwards.

Glaciers Posted August 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Really unfortunate port times for Victoria. If you don’t find something else there is the Ship Point Night Market that will bide some time for you. http://www.victoriaharbourfestival.com/ship-point-night-market.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
