Relax and rejuvenate during the 2.5-hour excursion of one of Victoria's best-kept secrets. Just a few minutes from the pier, the Abkhazi Garden lies behind a stately hedge. Wander with your guide through this beautiful garden of dramatic glaciated rocky slopes, magnificent Garry oaks and gorgeous vistas. Then, filled with the garden's sights and scents, retreat to the charming teahouse to enjoy a three-tier Royal tea with pastries, sweets and sandwiches. Seated in the teahouse - Prince and Princess Abkhazi's original residence - allow yourself to be transported back in time, as your guide recounts the couple's captivating story of privilege and tragedy, separation and romance. It's a story that spans three continents and a world war, and gave life to this exquisite garden. Sip and savor each quiet moment before returning to your coach and a city tour on the way back to your ship.
