Fisherman's Wharf & Float Homes in Victoria BC Tour (4K)
The Fisherman's Wharf was one of the highlights of our visit in Victoria BC Canada in late June 2017. The colorful float homes were full of character, each one with a unique look and style. There were even homes that look like ships.
There were many restaurants at Fisherman's Wharf as well, and the area provided a nice view of Laurel Point/the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was neat to see these little taxi boats of the Harbour Ferry Harbour Tour.
It is located near the Ogden Point Victoria cruise port terminal, about a 15 minute walk away We also visited downtown Victoria, including Beacon Hill Park. Take a look at other videos from our Victoria DIY excursion here:
