We did this with the Tourist in Your Own Town, so it was a free ride. It was a good 30-min ride around the harbour with a very friendly tour guide/captain. Definitely worth going! More

Took the H2O taxi from the Causeway by The Empress to an evening event at Point Ellice House. I have been telling people that this is the best way to visit because you approach it from the water. That's how many of the people would have done back in "then days" Enjoyed the voyage from the Inner Harbour, through the... More

The captain was excellent, very friendly and well informed of the history, he also made sure to talk loud enough that we could hear him over the engine and the waves. We were going to do the smaller tour but thought what the heck, would be nice to do the bigger one. I was surprised to end up in places... More

Summer season these adorable little mini tug shaped boats do a Sunday morning water ballet to music in the Downtown Inner Harbour. When not doing their performance you can start off riding off the dock in front of the Empress Hotel. Various stops along the way around Victoria's harbour one of my fav's being at Barb's- Barb's fish and chips... More

We took both the Habour and the Gorge Tour through the Harbour Ferry company. These little boats allow for such a scenic tour as well as loads of information from the captain. Great way to get out on the water and experience Victoria and all of the activity that happens on an active water runway. More

We enjoyed the Harbour Ferry better known as the Harbour taxi with our two boys ages 5 and 3. We took the shorter (50 min) inner harbour tour and it was just the right amount of time for the two boys. We got to see all the cute little houses on the water, the fire boat squirting water and the... More
