Victoria is a perfect place to hike and explore beaches and parks, there are plenty of them!

I will suggest to spend in this city 2-3 days to give you the time to explore part of the coastal area and don't miss the hike to Mount Douglas!

From the top there is the best view ever !

There are different hike trails all of them are easy and it will take about 30 minutes to reach the top.
If you don't feel to hike in the woods you can follow the main road that does arrive to the top parking lot. From downtown Victoria you can catch the bus #28 and arrive close to the park.
