James Stewart

This is a great hike if you’d like to see a few different types of scenery, including hill top views of the city, the surrounding hills, lakes and more. The hike up from the parking lots gets progressively more difficult, with lots of tree roots and rocks to climb over and around.

The top of the hill has almost no trees for shade but the view is spectacular. There are also chain ropes along the way at the top to steer in the right direction (and to help you up some of the steeper areas.

The galloping goose trail is a lovely trail connecting Victoria to the other parts of the island: Saanich, Langford and Sooke.

Mainly for cyclists (lots of electric bikes on the paths), it’s also good for walks/hikes. Mostly paved and detached from roads, but some parts are along the highway or roads.

AMAZING. I’ve had Tacofino in Vancouver, but this was even better! The tacos are great (especially the yam taco), and the crispy chicken burrito was the best burrito I’ve ever had.

Lots of space inside and out for seating, but busy with dine in and take out orders.

The staff was really lovely and accommodating. They gave me the wrong taco and were quick to rectify in an above and beyond manner. 10 ⭐️

This is a great place to stop for a rest if you’re strolling along Dallas Road, going for a cycle along the Victoria coastline, or just while driving through.

This is a typical BC beach, with rocky sand and driftwood, as well as beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere.
