Trip idea: Botanical Beach

Looking for a great little adventure on Vancouver Island? Well, look no further. Choose from one of Modo’s 60+ vehicles in Greater Victoria and wind your way to the beautiful west coast oasis of Botanical Beach. This gorgeous stretch of remarkably formed coast is located on the West Shore of Vancouver Island in Juan De Fuca Provincial Park and is home to some of the best tide pools this side of the Rockies.
