Fabulous day trip to Victoria - The most memorable part of the trip was flying out of coal harbour into Vancouver island in the seaplane. All the timing worked well leaving us enough time to explore beautiful Victoria. The bus trip connector was seemless and much appreciated after long day.

Drive OK, perfect ascent Mount Agung, I recommend without hesitation - I made the trip from Amed to Kuta with 4 stops during the trip to visit. The driver, Morgan, is really professional, punctual and friendly. In addition the agency "Amed Bali Adventure" is very Leader and responsive. You can call on them without problems

Victoria by sea plane, return by bus and ferry. - Great option to experience a seaplane whilst getting to Vancouver Island quicker than the ferry. Bus return was delayed and a little chaotic, but got us back to the ferry in time. Our bus driver was clearly a little hassled by the delay, not helped by the bus station check in process - or lack of, and a number of passengers wanting drop-offs at different locations to their booked tickets once they realised he dropped at multiple places. Ferry ride was smooth and comfortable. Overall a great option to get to enjoy different travel options and to spend time in Victoria.

A Day in Victoria - The flight with Harbour Air!!! Great views of the Gulf Islands. Smooth take off and landing. Great service at the terminal.
Victoria is a beautiful city. Easy to visit on foot. Mile 0 at Beacon Hill Park - reminder of Terry Fox's final goal.
Our bus driver was excellent!!! Very patient and helpful with all passengers. Highly professionnal. Great driver in cramped spaces.
On the minus side... returning by bus and ferry was long and exhausting; round trip by air would have been worth the extra$$$. The description of the itinerary made no mention that we could have asked the bus driver to drop us off at our hotel instead of the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel. Thankfully, he offered to do so.

Seaplane-coach-ferry-coach but worth it - All the admin and connections ran smoothly. The seaplane trip was an exciting and fun experience, especially for the first timers. Victoria felt loved and well looked after. We walked around the inner harbour area rather try to squeeze in another trip. It sounds lame but we all enjoyed the Miniature World exhibition, especially the local history within. The little, free Chinatown museum in Fan Tan Alley was a really interesting stop. The shopping vibe was upmarket with lots of independent traders. My daughter loved looking in the thrift shops. We did intend to venture further into Beacon Hill park but only got as far as its arid outskirts before we took a rest stop (jet lag hit). Our coach driver was friendly and caring. Unfortunately very heavy traffic exiting the ferry stop meant a half hour delay there. Perhaps we should also have been told the route back included a diversion to the bus terminal so we were ready for that at the end of a long journey. We got the 8.45 flight out and still felt we’d only glimpsed Victoria. Will have to return some day.

Stressful and disappointing - Unfortunately due to weather conditions the plane trip was delayed for nearly 2 hours which didn’t leave us enough time to explore Victoria and Butchart Gardens. We decided on Butchart Gardens but didn’t have enough time to go back and meet BC Ferries connector. We took a transit bus to the Ferry and then had to pay another $38.20 for the ticket. Lucky we found the bus driver on the Ferry and we had a way to get back downtown. So whole trip was a bit of a disappointment.
