As with any boat ride, keep an eye out for pirate activity.

Got a hankering for afternoon tea? You can hop on the Victoria Clipper for an overnight stay in Victoria for $99, hotel included, but you’ve got to book by Thursday.

The high-speed Clipper catamarans hold up to 300 passengers (no cars) and take about 2.5 hours to motor up to Vancouver Island. Once you’re there, we suggest the splendor of Butchart Gardens and then the awesome Miniature World, in which you get to feel like the Jolly Green Giant. Don’t forget your passport; Canada’s another country, remember?
