This special tour visits two of Victoria's finest attractions: world-famous The Butchart Gardens and the unique and exciting Butterfly Gardens!

The Butchart Gardens with its spectacular flowered landscapes, flowing streams, fountains and ponds has been a renowned destination for visitors since the turn of the century. Now add that to Victoria Butterfly Gardens - a lush, indoor, tropical garden where the flowers are always blooming and the butterflies are the star attraction!

These enclosed gardens are home to hundreds of exotic free-flying butterflies that are sure to capture the imaginations of young and old. Watch a chrysalis unfold to reveal the magic shapes and colours of exotic butterflies as they prepare for flight. This truly is an unforgettable tour and an excellent value.

Children under 5 are free.
