Take a little putt-putt boat to dinner! Fun and inexpensive way to see around the harbor. More

The Inner Harbour really ties together the major attractions of Victoria. Surround the harbour is the Parliament Buildings, The Empress Hotel and the Museum. There is a great causeway to walk along right by the water. Nice place to sit an have a snack between destinations. Some touristy trap places around there, but they are easy to spot and avoid...

The title says it all. Location is perfect and when you are there during late evening the light decorated legislation building makes the background and overall view even better. A great convenience and the vendor stalls were fine as well. Anytime we go to Victoria, an evening walk at the wharf and harbor is a routine now. More

This was such a beautiful location. So central and within walking distance to everything great in downtown Victoria. Definitely will be back. Fisherman's Wharf was awesome - be sure not to miss that! More

We didn't have to wait at all for the taxi. It was fun to travel the inner harbor and get from fishermans wharf to the downtown area without the walk. Especially since we had been walking for two days! A great convenience at very little price. More

the vendors along the walkway are a taste of 'local people' and their prices excellent. I love the views. More

I love the inner harbour, being in landlocked Edmonton I always look forward to being by the ocean and enjoying the beautiful city of Victoria. We went for a walk around 11:00pm, so it was very quiet. We took the path all the way to the fishermans wharf (about 30 min there and back). The views of the city at... More
