We took the (HAL sponsored) driving tour of the town with a several hour stop at the wonderful Buchart Gardens. Although it was fall, the gardens were still very beautiful! ...
Took the HAL whale watch. Saw lots of whales, lots of really big sea lions. Nice to have 2 naturalists on board, one up top & one in the cabin. Well run. ...

Not enough time here, got off the ship to see if they would stamp our passports. No luck!!!! Visited gift shop and was not comfortable with being watched so closely as if I was going to steal something. Went back to ship for ice cream! ...

Victoria was beautiful but we got in at 8 pm and only had two hours. We spent most time at Inner Harbor and it is beautiful and interesting. Shops were open and guests did make purchases.
It is a shame that we did not get to spend more time in Victoria . ...
