4 days trip to British Colombia

I would appreciate any help to plan for my trip with husband and another couple to BC. We are in our mid 60 of age! Thanks

BC is a big province, if you could narrow it down to whereabouts you're thinking of visiting, we might be better able to help you out.

We would like to spend one day in Victoria for sure, any sugestion for this day? Any other suggestion for rest of our trip which would be 4 days. Any sugestions for Vancouver (outdoor, museums,restaurants)?

A stroll around the harbor area and downtown Victoria and Butchart Gardens would take up one day.

I'd do 2 nights in Vancouver,go to whistler for 1 night and return to Vancouver. Or just go to Victoria for 4 nights. In 4 days you can't do Victoria and Vancouver.

You mentioned museums - the Royal BC Museum in Victoria is world class and most definitely worth a visit

I totally agree with leuk2; you can't do both cities in four days - there is way too much to do and see. Not to mention that it will take a good part of your day to get to and from Victoria unless you take a float plane from Vancouver. You need to allow 3 to 4 hours for the ferry ride each way. The actual ferry ride is only 1.5 hours, but I'm including the time required to get to the ferry terminal, wait for the ferry, and the ride into downtown Victoria. You need to decide which city you want to see and just stay in one place.
