Explore Vancouver Island’s Natural Wonder from The Parkside

Victoria's natural landscape offers some of the most breathtaking wildlife encounters on the West Coast. At The Parkside Hotel & Spa, we're proud to connect our guests with unforgettable experiences accessible from our sustainable sanctuary in the heart of downtown.

Our exclusive partnership with Eagle Wing Tours provides guests with front-row access to the Salish Sea's marine residents. From orcas to humpbacks, these certified eco-tours offer guaranteed sightings during peak season. Parkside guests enjoy preferred booking and special rates—just inquire with our concierge to secure your ocean adventure.

Prefer to stay a bit closer to your home away from home? Just a short walk from our front doors, Beacon Hill Park offers 200 acres to explore. Follow the winding paths through ancient trees and discover the park's resident peacocks, herons, and other wildlife. The peaceful ponds and gardens provide perfect spots for mindful moments amid nature's beauty.

Pedal into adventure with our complimentary bike rentals and new exclusive Happy Trails maps—part of our new partnership with Sierra Club BC, launched during Earth Month. Our collaboration offers two specialized maps, where you can choose to explore Victoria's diverse local ecosystems on walkable and bikeable routes right from our doorstep, or venture further to discover Vancouver Island's majestic old-growth forests.

After a day of exploring Victoria's natural wonders, return to The Parkside Hotel & Spa to unwind in our spacious suites with views of the city. Our commitment to sustainability means you can relax knowing your stay treads lightly on the very environment you've spent the day admiring. Book your getaway today and discover why The Parkside is Victoria's premier destination for the environmentally conscious traveler.
