I have gotten there on one occassion so far.Here is a great picture of the calls and I provided a couple of external web links.There is a tonne of things to do at this site including a boat tour right up to the falls, plan to get wet on this adventure. Happy Travels!

Victoria, British Columbia

by Carmanah

Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia. It's located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island - an island that has no bridges, so getting there by ferry or by seaplane is half the fun! Victoria has the most mild climate in Canada with warm dry summers and cool rainy winters.

Victoria is very touristy between May and September. Tourists (primarily Americans) love to visit Victoria by the busloads because of its apparent similarity to England. Perhaps it's the Union Jacks flying, the flower gardens, the Tally Ho! horse-drawn carriage rides, the red double-decker buses, several options for afternoon tea. Yet people who have been to England probably wouldn't find it English at all. People from the UK often find Victoria typically...
