  • Sooke Potholes Park
    If you are into going out in nature to connect with your inner self, you will love this park. There are many pools that have soft and smooth stones. You will be able to watch the coho and chinook salmon spawning on the river as well as any other of Canada's natural habitats that may or may not join your venture. Make your way through the many trails that contain old-growth Douglas Fir trees, or sit by the crisp, clean water of the river.

  • St. Ann's Academy National Historic Site
    Interested in History? You will love this historic site that was built in 1871 and completed around 1910. It was once a school and then a convent for the sisters of St. Ann. The building itself is a wonder to tour, but the grounds are also memorizing as it is a heritage site and green space that gives you an oasis to relax in from the city. The best part is that admission to this heritage site is by donation, so you can enjoy the wonder within your price range.

  • Wild Pacific Trail
    Challenge yourself with a natural wonder of the Pacific trail. There are trails there that are as moderate as climbing stairs. The viewing decks give you a view you will never forget. The trail traces the edge of various cliffs and even follows along the coastline. The ocean-side viewing is right above the surge channels and other wonderful coastal features. If you are lucky, you can even see sea lions frolicking offshore.

  • Inner Harbour and Causeway
    The Inner Harbour is at the centre of beautiful Victoria and is surrounded by parliament buildings and the Empress Hotel. There are ferries that curry around among yachts that are filled with thrilled tourists. The Inner Harbour is full of various attractions. Catch a ferry boat and go whale watching, or enjoy a good meal at one of the many restaurants where you are sure to find anything that will please the palate.

  • Other Attractions:
    Check out the Shaw Centre or the Royal BC Museum. If something more artistic is to your liking, check out the Mark Loria Gallery or the Rifflandia Festival. The various churches are also thrilling whether you are religious or not. The Centennial United Church is beautiful, and the Oak Bay United Church is quaint.
