Private Tours

Almost everything here can be done privately — a van and driver-guide for the day in Victoria, a private whale boat, a skippered charter. The premium buys flexibility, a route of your own and quiet.

Private Tours on Vancouver Island

Private tours make most sense where the group vehicle is the compromise: a private van to Butchart and the Malahat lets you set the pace, a private Zodiac from Victoria goes where the whales are without forty other passengers, and a private charter around the Gulf Islands is a different day from a scheduled cruise.

Prices are usually per vehicle or per boat, so a family of four often pays little more per person than a shared tour, and much less than they expect. Confirm the maximum group size the price covers and what is included — admissions, lunch, fuel — in writing.
