Butchart Gardens: Beat Cruise Ship Crowds & Best Photo Spots
★4.7(7434)
Show up at 9am sharp to dodge the cruise ship mobs that ruin the vibe by noon. Wander the Sunken Garden for the classic shot, then dip into the Japanese Garden for some actual quiet. Book the Express Shuttle from downtown Victoria to avoid the parking lot chaos. Skip the over-the-top private tours; a standard ticket does the job. Pack your own lunch since the on-site dining is pricey and crowded. Give it three hours max.
