Coastal Loop
11 km / 1.5 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
8.5 km / 1.5 hrs
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: The Fairmont Empress
Built on reclaimed mud flats in 1908 by architect Francis Rattenbury, the Empress has been the defining landmark of Victoria's Inner Harbour for over a century. Kings, queens, and movie stars have all stayed here — afternoon tea has been served continuously since opening day. The most iconic building in the city.
Stop 2: The Legislature Assembly
Before this building existed, BC's legislature met in five leaky wooden sheds nicknamed "The Birdcages." In 1893, a 25-year-old newcomer named Francis Rattenbury won an open competition of 65 entries to design the replacement. The buildings have been lit up at night since 1897, and tours are free.
Stop 3: St. Ann’s Academy
Four Sisters of St. Ann arrived in Victoria in 1858 and opened a school within 48 hours of landing — 12 students, a gold-rush boomtown, and no real plan. What they built became the largest building in the province, and over 36,000 students passed through its doors.
Stop 4: Stone Bridge
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 5: 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.
Stop 6: Craigdarroch Castle
Built between 1887 and 1890 by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir — the richest man in BC — this four-storey Scottish Baronial castle was meant to cement his legacy. He died seventeen months before it was finished, and the estate eventually sold for $38,000, a fraction of what it cost to build. It's been a museum since 1979.
Stop 7: Christ Church Cathedral
Victoria's third attempt at an Anglican cathedral on this hill — the first two burned down. The current Gothic design was chosen in 1896: 65 years of interrupted construction spanning the Depression, two world wars, and a city that kept growing around it. One of Canada's largest churches, and still very much in use.
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: Johnson St. Bridge
Victoria's fourth attempt at crossing the harbour — and the one that finally stuck. The iconic blue LED lighting pays homage to the beloved "Blue Bridge" that stood here for nearly a century, designed by the same engineer who built the Golden Gate. A striking gateway into the ride.
Stop 2: Trackside Art Wall
A 400-metre stretch of warehouse walls transformed into one of Canada's largest outdoor graffiti corridors, running alongside the old E&N rail line. Artists have been painting here since the 1980s — no curator, no commission, just rotating murals that appear and disappear. Raw, colourful, and completely unique to Victoria.
Stop 3: Richards Island Viewpoint
A small, rocky outcrop of Garry oak and Douglas fir sitting quietly in Esquimalt Harbour, reachable only by paddle craft. Named after a Royal Navy officer from the 1840s, the island sits above waters that show evidence of human use going back 5,000 years. A peaceful moment in the middle of the harbour.
Stop 4: Gorgeous Gorge
One of Victoria's most storied waterways, fished by the Lək̓ʷəŋən peoples for thousands of years before becoming the industrial engine of a booming colony. Decades of pollution nearly finished it — then a father and son started cleaning it up in 1994, and others followed. Today the herons are back, and the water is alive again.
Stop 5: Banfield Pier
A favourite summer spot along the Gorge, where a simple floating dock gives easy access to some of Victoria's best swimming water. The city expanded it twice in recent years — in 2022 and again in 2024 — because people kept showing up. Bring a towel.
Stop 6: Selkirk Trestle
A 300-metre railway trestle built in 1919, now one of the most scenic crossings on the Galloping Goose Trail. Fir and hemlock planks stretch out over the Selkirk arm of the Gorge, with views up and down the waterway. A highlight of the ride.
