Stunning natural beauty mingles with more than a hint of British Colonial days in Victoria.
Stunning natural beauty mingles with more than a hint of British Colonial days in Victoria, British Columbia's sophisticated capital on Vancouver Island. The Victoria West KOA captures the beauty and charm with its forested mountain setting off scenic Malahat Drive. Breathe in the sweet scent of fir and cedar trees and listen to the birds. Then drive about 20 minutes into town for high tea. The ornate Parliament buildings, red double-decker buses and pubs all reflect Victoria's British heritage, but the overall island spirit is decidedly Pacific Northwest. Play golf and hike trails overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Admire the lush blossoms and landscaping at famed Butchart Gardens, where fireworks light the sky on summer Saturdays. Your KOA hosts can arrange whale-watching and fishing excursions.
