Victoria and Salt Spring Island

Victoria and Salt Spring Island in BC are perfect for relaxing getaways and luxury spa vacations.

This past week I’ve been writing feverishly about my last trip to Victoria and Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. I’m always impressed with the rich wilderness and natural beauty that comes so easy for such a gorgeous province.

What this means is that there’s some brand new content for you to read! Follow me from Vancouver to Victoria as I stay at The Fairmont Empress hotel, then the boutique Magnolia Hotel & Spa. Ride through the downtown inner harbour with me as I tried out a horse-drawn carriage tour and visited the incredible Craigdarroch Castle.

Over on Salt Spring Island, I stayed at the elegant Hastings House Country House Hotel, where I cycled around, enjoyed the property and had exceptional meals. I flew back to Vancouver with Salt Spring Air, which was a treat. The small operation treats customers with familiarity and warmth- what a change from some other airlines :)

Next week I’ll continue with content from this trip. The Salt Spring Market was a fun way to while away the day. I also went to Sidney, BC, and have lots to say about that part of the trip. Daytrips include the Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly Gardens. Stay tuned…
