Whale watching and ecotourism businesses, float planes, an International Ferry Terminal with connections to Port Angeles, Bellingham and Seattle, and a water taxi service all operate out of this busy harbor, and the causeways feature a wealth of festivals, shows and music; especially during the summer months. The Royal BC Museum, Empress Hotel, Parliament buildings, shopping centers and multi-culturally inspired restaurants flank the shoreline adding to the early Victorian architecture so iconic in Victoria.
Since 1990, the Victoria Harbour Ferries have been serving tourists and residents with a delightful way to experience the inner harbour with tours on their little “pickle boats” captained by friendly water taxi pilots who will happily share their knowledge of the local environment.

From April through October, you can hop aboard to see the harbour or explore the inlet with a scenic cruise through the Gorge Waterway. Online reviewers have expressed their delight with the tours with words like “romantic and therapeutic”, “stunning and refreshing” and “pleasant and peaceful”.
