Where to visit attractive places in Victoria and Vancouver BC?
Q. Hi Friends,
I want to go Victoria Vancouver Kelowna Abbotsford and places around. Could you tell me what are the best and attractive places to visit?
To go Victoria how much ferry charge if I take my car with? Two or three families will come with me? To explore these cities but We don't have any idea where to go to see beautiful and attractive and never forgettable sites in these areas? :)
Thank you for help. :)

Answer
Well, lets take this is alphabetical order:
Abbotsford - There are a number of wineries that offer tours and tastings as you are coming to Abbotsford. In the Abbotsford area you can take a self guided farm tour which can be interesting. In Matsqui (a part of Abbotsford) you can find a wave pool.
Chilliwack - I know you did not ask about it but since it is only about 20 minutes beyond Abbotsford I though I would mention it. There are a number activities and places to see in the area from Cultus Lake to farm tours and then, if you want to take a farther drive, cross the Fraser River, head through Agassiz, and stop at Harrison Hot Springs..beautiful views and several campgrounds if you feel like camping. Back in Chilliwack you will find two water-slides, one at Cultus Lake and another farther up the Valley just past the turnoff to Agassiz by Bridle Veil Falls. While you are there stop and take the walk to the falls. You may also want to take time to visit Minter Gardens, located in the same area.
Kelowna - In the Okanagan area of BC, the terrain there is more oriented towards the desert, you will find some if you head about half an hour south. Kelowna has many wineries open to the public and a couple of nice orchard tours during the summer and fall. My sons enjoyed the orchard tour and got hooked on the fresh apple cider...so did I for that matter. Kelowna is at the northern tip of Okanagan lake and although it has become touristy over the past few years it is still worth a visit. Take time to drive down the lake towards Penticton...there are several places to stop along the way.
Vancouver - The largest city in BC, visit Stanley Park and certainly the Capilano Suspension Bridge and the Lynn Canyon area in North Vancouver are worth a visit. There are several museums and art galleries if your interests are in that area as well as a number of theatres (both live and movie). Although Granville Island is touristy, I think it is worth spending some time at, especially during the summer months. There are several beaches in the area and if you feel like a drive, head along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. A beautiful drive and Whistler, for all it's tourism, is still an enjoyable place to visit....make a day of it
Victoria - The Capital of BC and home to the BC Legislature and many museums, art galleries, and parks, both public and private. Take a trip to Butchart Gardens or wander around the Inner Harbour region near the Legislature (take a tour there) and the BC Museum and IMAX theatre. A short drive (or long walk) from there you will find the official residence of BC's Lieutenant Governor, the grounds and gardens are generally open to the public although the residence is not. Last time there I had the pleasure of a tour of the house with excellent guides, the Lieutenant Governor and his wife. The city itself has and "old England" feel to it in many parts and there are many interesting sites within a short walk of the downtown area. Take a "Ghostly Walks" tour in the evening for a glimpse into the past of Victoria and stories about some of the former inhabitants that do not want to seem to leave. There are also many other tours you can take from a gardens tour to whale watching and a variety of activities suited to most tastes.
The ferry to Victoria leaves from Tsawwassen regularly and the current one way costs (without any taxes) are as follows:
Car only, up to 20 feet - $ 43.20
Adult Passengers (12 and older) - $ 12.85
Child (5 to 11) - $ 6.45
Child under 5 - Free
The ferry trip itself, once you reach the gulf islands, can be quite enjoyable from the scenery on the passing islands to boats on the water and a variety of wildlife in the water...I have even seen Killer Whales from the deck of the ferry.
