Highlights
You have to eat dinner somewhere, so make it a meal to remember at Butchart Gardens! This exceptional experience will have you flying by seaplane from Victoria to Butchart Gardens — a National Historic Site of Canada — where you’ll enjoy a three-course meal of seasonal, regional cuisine. Then take a nighttime stroll through the lit-up gardens, including the Rose Garden, Japanese Garden and Mediterranean Garden, and soak up the tranquil atmosphere. Your evening ends with a limousine ride back to Victoria.
What You'll Get
DEAL FEATURED AND CHARGED IN US CURRENCY.
Your Butchart Gardens adventure starts at Victoria Harbour, where you’ll check in for your flight and board your seaplane for the quick journey up to the gardens, just 12 miles (19 km) north of Victoria. Enjoy the aerial views of Vancouver Island and the Haro Strait as you fly.
When you arrive at Butchart, sit down to a delicious three-course dinner in the cheerful and elegant Dining Room, one of the gardens’ on-site restaurants. Feast on a seasonal menu of soup or salad followed by a main course featuring regional meat or fish, and then relax over a sweet dessert and cup of coffee or tea.
Dinner lasts about 90 minutes, and then you have one hour to stroll through the gardens at your leisure. Sure, the gardens are gorgeous during the day, but at night they’re nearly magical. After the sun sets, lights come on across the gardens, creating shadows and illuminating the creatively designed displays of flowers, shrubs and trees. It’s very romantic!
At around 10pm, hop inside a luxurious limousine for the 30-minute drive back to Victoria Harbour, where your tour ends.
