Vancouver and Victoria Ultimate Getaway

Vancouver and Victoria getaway with a Capilano Bridge and Butchart Gardens

Vancouver and Victoria Ultimate Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations sells this independent, 5-day, 4-night getaway split evenly between Vancouver and Victoria, linked by a one-way ferry transfer. The first two nights are in Vancouver, with a hop-on, hop-off tour, views from the Vancouver Lookout, and a walk across the Capilano Suspension Bridge above the forest canopy. From there, a ferry carries travelers to Victoria for two more nights, including a tour of Butchart Gardens and a hop-on, hop-off tour of the city's own sights, such as the Fairmont Empress Hotel and Fisherman's Wharf. As an independent package, rail travel to reach Vancouver is arranged and booked separately, and the operator's listing does not include a day-by-day schedule.
