Embrace the natural beauty and royal legacy of Victoria on a 2.5-hour trip featuring Abkhazi Garden, where you'll enjoy a self-guided tour and traditional high tea before taking in the city sights and optional free time in downtown Victoria. Enjoy exclusive early entrance into the blooming paradise of Abkhazi Garden. Created by Georgian Prince and Princess Abkhazi in 1946, this hidden garden gem teems with leafy pathways lined with rocky slopes and turtle-filled ponds. Take a serene stroll past Garry oaks, Japanese maples, aromatic roses, 50-year-old rhododendrons, and flowers of every color. Then take a seat in The Teahouse and prepare to be treated to the Royal Abkhazi High Tea. Sip a selection of Silk Road loose leaf teas in a tranquil setting overlooking the gardens. A three-tier assortment of scones, quiche and sandwiches showcase regional ingredients and produce grown onsite in the surrounding garden. Your 45-minute sightseeing return drive brings you through the heart of downtown Victoria, where you can explore the city's British Colonial past, souvenir shops, or seafood restaurants on your own.
