Arriving in Vancouver Island: Your Journey from United States

Leaving Washington State behind, the crossing to Vancouver Island passes through the San Juan Islands' forested shoreline before Victoria's Inner Harbour comes into view — arguably one of the prettiest ferry arrivals in North America, with the ivy-clad Fairmont Empress Hotel and the domed BC Parliament Buildings sitting right on the water. Butchart Gardens and Chinatown's Fan Tan Alley are easy add-ons once you've docked, and a proper afternoon tea at the Empress is a distinctly British way to mark the arrival — a tradition the hotel has kept since 1908.
