Kayaking

Visitors love about Victoria. Here in the Garden City, kayakers of all skill levels are able to rent kayaks in small or large groups, and experience the city from the water. For more advanced kayaking, nearby Sooke (just 40 minutes from the city) offers guided tours of BC rugged coastline.
