Pickle Pub Crawl: Victoria Harbour Ferry Pub Crawl
Overview
The Pickle Pub Crawl isn't your typical pub crawl — you’ll travel between some of Victoria’s favourite waterfront pubs and restaurants aboard the city’s iconic little Harbour Ferries.
Over three fun-filled hours, enjoy two Harbour Ferry rides, four pub and restaurant stops, waterfront views, local drinks available for purchase, and plenty of laughs with your Hidden Victoria guide.
This is a pub crawl and sightseeing experience, not a food tour. Complimentary pub-style appetizers are provided at participating stops with the purchase of a drink, but the food is intended to complement the pub crawl rather than provide a full meal.
Come with friends or come on your own. With a maximum of 11 guests, it’s an easy way to meet other travellers while experiencing Victoria’s Inner Harbour from both land and water.
Perfect for visitors, locals, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and anyone looking for a completely different way to experience Victoria.
