Self Guided Tours
Coastal Loop
11 km / 1 hr
Overview
Float planes, peacocks, beaches, and mountains — this is Victoria's greatest hits, all in one stunning coastal loop. Choose this tour to experience all Victoria has to offer.
Stop 1: Inner Harbour Causeway
The beating heart of Victoria. Float planes, ferry boats, street performers, and the grand Empress Hotel all in one frame. Soak it in — this is the postcard view that started it all.
Stop 2: Fishermans Wharf
The beating heart of Victoria. Float planes, ferry boats, street performers, and the grand Empress Hotel all in one frame. Soak it in — this is the postcard view that started it all.
Stop 3: Dallas Rd Swim Pavillion
A staircase that descends directly into the ocean — part art installation, part Victoria legend. Relax on the beach or take a dip in the water. The views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca are spectacular, and seal sightings are nearly guaranteed.
Stop 4: Clover Point
Victoria's favourite windswept headland. Watch kite surfers launch into the strait, scan the water for orca pods, or just take in the sweeping 180° ocean panorama. One of the best sunset spots in the city.
Stop 5: Beacon Hill Park
A grand 75-hectare park to ease you back toward home. Ponds, meadows, the world's tallest totem pole, and yes — those peacocks again. Stick to the paved paths on your scooter and enjoy the scenery.
Cobble & Castles
8 km / 45 mins
Overview
Victoria's most elegant ride. Peacocks, castle turrets, and manicured estate gardens — this route packs more history and grandeur into 8 km than most cities manage in a lifetime. Choose this tour if you wanna turn back time and experience Victoria as it were over 130 years ago.
Stop 1: Stone Bridge, Beacon Hill Park
A charming 1880s stone bridge arching over Goodacre Lake, tucked inside one of Canada's finest urban parks. Great Blue Herons nest nearby in spring, and the park's famous free-roaming peacocks are never far away. A quiet, beautiful start to the ride.
Stop 2: Government House
The official residence and estate of BC's Lieutenant Governor. The public gardens are free to visit and include rose gardens, reflecting ponds, a totem pole, and sweeping views toward the Olympic Mountains. Free guided Sunday tours are available — book ahead online at ltgov.bc.ca.
Stop 3: Craigdarroch Castle
Four storeys of Victorian turrets, stained glass, and hand-carved woodwork built in 1890 by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir. Now a National Historic Site, the castle is open for self-guided tours Wednesday through Sunday, 10am–4pm. Even if you're not going inside, the exterior alone is worth a long look.
Gorge & The Goose
9.5 km / 35 mins
Overview
The tour locals ride and tourists never find. Smooth trail, hidden gardens, and a converted railway trestle over the Gorge — this is Victoria's best kept secret. Pick this tour for scenic, easy-cruising, and a virtually uninterrupted ride.
Stop 1: Galloping Goose
This is less of a single destination and more of a host to your journey. Built along a former railway corridor dating back to the early 1900s, this smooth, flat, uninterrupted and scenic path is what e-scootering was made for. Keep right, stay alert for cyclists, and enjoy the ride.
Stop 2: Japanese Gardens
A hidden gem that even many locals haven't discovered. Tucked beside the Gorge Waterway in Esquimalt, the gardens feature small waterfalls, koi ponds, stone lanterns, and a stunning Japanese timber pavilion. Completely free to visit and open year-round.
Stop 3: Selkirk Trestle
A beautifully preserved wooden railway trestle now serving as a pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Gorge Waterway. The views up and down the Gorge are exceptional — this is one of the most photogenic spots in the Victoria region, especially at golden hour. Hangout and take it all in before the ride back.
