Review of Victoria’s private hot tub boat ride, with pricing, route, wildlife, practical tips, and advice on who will enjoy this quirky outing.
“We were delighted with the friendly and informative safety briefing from Chad, and he instilled us with the confidence to set out for our Hot Tub Boat Adventure. The boat was equipped with everything we needed, including Pirate hats! The Bluetooth speaker worked wonderfully as we sang along to “Barrett’s Privateers”. We were accompanied for part of the voyage by a friendly seal and many energetic dragon boaters. We recommend jumping into the water for a dip when you’re near the Selkirk Trestle. You get some great views of the harbour and Gorge that you wouldn’t usually see. I can’t think of anything that would have improved the experience.”

See Victoria by bike on a 2.5-hour shore excursion featuring Chinatown, Craigdarroch Castle, Beacon Hill Park, and local neighborhoods.
“We had a fantastic bicycle tour with The Pedaler (the team with awesome communication). Our tour guide, Alan, was super. He made the experience seamless from start to finish - friendly, knowledgeable, and great local tips for Poutine and the best pizza. His pacing was spot-on while keeping everyone comfortable and confident on the bikes. Alan’s stories and recommendations brought Victoria to life, we saw so much more than we expected without ever feeling rushed. The equipment was excellent, the staff welcoming, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully designed. If you want to truly experience Victoria, not just see it, this is the way to go. Highly recommend The Pedaler…”
