On this personalized 60-minute horse-drawn carriage tour of Victoria, take a step back in time and experience the lush greenery of Beacon Hill Park, magnificent ocean views along the Salish Sea waterfront and historic beauty of Victoria's charming James Bay neighborhood.
Beacon Hill Park is a haven of serenity in the heart of the city with its immaculate flower gardens, tranquil duck ponds, children’s petting farm and areas of natural landscape. Donated to the city in 1858, the park has been preserved as a public space for generations, and remains a protected area for wildlife and native plants. Enjoy the highlights of the park from your carriage, before taking a scenic journey along the Salish Sea waterfront.
