Harbour Tour | Gorge Waterway | Harbour Hops


A 45 minute tour around Victoria's Inner Harbour, passing a variety of docks along the way including; Fisherman's Wharf, Ocean Pointe Resort, Coast Harbourside Hotel, Westsong Walkway, and the West Bay Marina and Floating Village.

Your ferry Skipper will provide you with a wealth of information about the Harbour's past, including Coffin Island and an ancient native village that once occupied the entire west side of the harbour.

You'll see remnants of Victoria Harbour's hardworking past; in boom chains suspended from rocks, dry docks, tug boats, barges, deep sea ships and the origins of the historical E&N Railway.

Some sites you will pass along the way include:

Fisherman's Wharf, is where you can see the floating homes and ocean fishing boats. It is a popular place with tourists and locals like to enjoy fish and chips or to purchase fresh crab, shrimp and other local seafood from marine vendors along the wharf.

Swift Street Landing is located at the entrance to Victoria's historic Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in North America north of San Francisco.

West Bay Marine Village and RV Park is home to many of Victoria's "float home" residents and is adjacent to Work Point Barracks. This area is often overlooked and yet offers some unique glimpses into Victoria's past.

As a Victoria Harbour Ferry passenger you'll gain a whole new perspective of Victoria and learn a whole lot more about Victoria's history from your friendly and knowledgeable Captain.
