Victoria BC recreation - a guide

Our guide to Victoria BC recreation includes golf courses, whale-watching, kayaking, tours and hiking in BC parks.

The coastal location of Victoria, its hills and forests, parks and lakes naturally offer a wide range of recreational activities. We have a lot of information to browse through at the bed and breakfast and offer this an an introductory guide.

Here on the Saanich Peninsula is just about all you are likely to want to do but for further exploration it is easy to drive west to the Sooke coastline or north to southern Vancouver Island from our central location. We can suggest some lovely interesting drives taking you to area attractions.
