Explore the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. at your own pace with a self-guided e-bike tour.
Arrive at the Pedaler whenever you would like to start your tour! We are located in the courtyard of the Huntington Manor. Look for the red awning. After we get you signed in, we will get you fitted for a helmet and onto a pedal bike. If you want a little more zoom, feel free to upgrade to an ebike. You make the rules from here, off you go!
You can depart when you would like! Keep in mind, you will want enough time to enjoy the cycle out there, experience the gardens at your own pace and then have enough time to get back to our shop before close. This is generally an all day adventure. Note: If you intend to stay past the bike shop’s closing time, you have the option to do an overnight rental.
Take your time enjoying this combination of rural cycling, the car-free Interurban Rail and Galloping Goose Trails, and the Saanich Peninsula on your way to the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Once you arrive at the Gardens, you’ll lock up your bike at the bike racks outside the ticket office. Stop and smell the roses, all of them! When you’re all done, hop on your bike and head back!
