We will be going to Alaska for two weeks next summer and are starting by flying into Seattle and ferrying to Victoria. Friends from Juneau are meeting us at the ferry. Needless to say, we are totally unfamiliar with Victoria -- and that is further complicated by the facts that we won't have a car and Victoria doesn't have Uber.
We will be there 3 nights/2 full days (June 19-22), and our party is four adults and two 18 y/o young ladies.
So, I have several questions:
We will be there 3 nights/2 full days (June 19-22), and our party is four adults and two 18 y/o young ladies.
So, I have several questions:
- Are there areas for lodging which would be more convenient to the usual tourist attractions (gardens, museums, etc)? We will probably be doing airbnb.
- Are there areas to avoid?
- We know about Butchart Gardens, and that's on our list. Are there any other "must-do's?"
- We will not be "whaling" in Victoria. Our friends are a marine biologist and a wildlife biologist and they both say the whale tours there have a bad reputation for being harmful to the animals. We'll do the whale tours in Juneau.
