Reviews of Fisherman's Wharf Park (Tourist Attraction)

Trena Laine

Fun. Trendy. Cute. We visited. Drank beer. Ate food. Toured around. Came back 2nd day for our own personal family photoshoot with hired photographer. Its busy but accessible by foot, vehicle or our fave transportation WATER TAXI! Restaurants and washrooms clean. Wheelchair friendly as mother in law was in hers.

Mike Dodgson

Fun place. Always full so parking is limited. Great good.

Robin Main

Great park. Very colorful houses. Many food options. It is late in the season, that coupled with Covid means low traffic.

Graham Weatherby

Our first trip to this popular tourist destination in Victoria ... WOW! Great views looking back across the harbour, a HUGE selection of diverse food options, easy walking distance to and from town center ... or, for a REAL treat, take the water taxi one-way!! Spend an afternoon on the wharf ... I insist????

Vincent Chow

It's a small place but with some restaurants. There is only one gift shop and a Whale watching company. Not the best fisherman wharf but just okay

Nathanael Noblet

It's been 15 years since my last visit. It has changed considerably. Way more commercial with more food choices. Sadly but understandably the docks with the house boats are off limits which was 50% of the reason to go. Barbs fish and chips were amazing, all of my kids devoured it

Don McCaskill

Great spot to sit and catch your breath while walking around James Bay.

Jean F.

We took the smoked fish plate and a Steam crab... I think it's a little too pricy... But it's fresh and good... The view is really nice with the seaguls and the seals coming around...

Firoz Ozman

Super colourful lovely hangout place. Finding Parking on a busy day could be challenging.

Elle Ash

Cute little houseboats. Lots of choices to eat and drink. Only a couple shops. Quite busy. Some wildlife; crabs, fish and a seal!

Matt Bell

What an awesome spot to walk around and take in the scenery. The docks where the residents live are blocked off which is completely understandable. I would want that year-round without COVID as a factor. In terms of the park and boardwalk, they don’t really enforce much for social distancing requirements and some people are very hit-and-miss with respecting that, but it was still enjoyable. We got some pizza and beer from Pirate which was delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back. One note: please wear a mask :)

Maxime Vandal

A great place to show people visiting the area. The houses are absolutely adorable, and the restaurants in the area a really a must stop to do on your travels. Walking distance from downtown by the ocean side walkway.

Stephanie Dacre

Cute little park, nice grass to sit on and have a little picnic!

Catherine Kozel

The area is getting run down and weathered. Very crowded even though I was there during social distancing measures. Good luck parking ????

Stephen H

Eat drink people watch always interesting. Some ocean adventures available kayak or wale watch.

Karen Aughtry

One can't help but love Fisherman's Wharf, in my opinion. It's got the right mix: walking distance from Victoria's Inner Harbour, various little shanties with good food choices, waterside eating, colorful houseboats, docked boats, clean public washrooms....

Amelia Galligos- Bussiere

My husband and I had Mexican seafood dishes which were delightful and my son had barbs fish and chips.

Matthieu Gacel

Amazing place, Nice view and very good food !

Booyaka Stubbs (ExplorewithStubbs.com)

Nice day to walk around the city and we ended up walking around Fisherman's Wharf park for part of the day. Plenty of people out enjoying their day. Necessary covid protocol being followed which was nice to see. Such vibrant colors drawing …

Terry the Vegan Cyborg

Used to be better...but as humans do..its been spoiled a bit. Still worth a visit tho!! Especially if you've never seen water houses.

David E. Fowler

Great place for a walk by sea and for some gluten free Fish and Chips at the Floating Fish Store.

Charles Charles

The little oysters were over priced. For a wharf disappointed. The overall experience of the environment which is why it got a 4

Astar Young

Great place to walk. Good food.

Life of Chuck

A must see attraction for any tourist's. I've been here many times and it's still a great place to visit. See that in one of my upcoming videos on YouTube channel, Adventures to Happiness

Dev Patel

Great place that offers good food plus some sea safari trips. Try to go their with some extra time as they have a shop that assures you to show whale in their ship.

Kayla Shaw

Great location to wat and walk around, be aware you can no longer walk through the housrboats due to covid 19

David Yelligadu

Good spot for lunch! Very cute little floating shacks. Parking was super hard to find! Literally drove around the block a couple times. They have ice cream shop, pizza place, tacos, fish n chips , a souvenir store and tour shop. Washrooms are available on the docks as well. Free to visit!

The Eggsorcist

Nice little park overlooking the harbour.

Ryan Secours

Bit crowded but overall a great place.

Christina Amy Morris

A really fun thing to do with family or friends. Have a good lunch and a nice walk to visit all the cute shops and little houses in the water

John Arella

Great place to hang out and have a great meal. Very peaceful environment.

Diamond Life Academy (Scotty Hulshof)

Absolutely spectacular this place is so beautiful I was fortunate enough to have a contract with my moving company gorillamoves.ca to move a lady here

Aidan Knight

Has a fun, tall slide with rubberized floor play material (very fun for little kids to climb), a few springy animal chairs and the ubiquitous Eiffel Tower rope structure. Nice partial views of the ocean and sometimes very quiet. Also very very close to the best seafood in Victoria (Finest At Sea) for a snack!

UTO LEE

peaceful atmosphere itself especially during summer season. So Canadian landscape in all the corners???????? 정말 아름답다, 다만 여름에.

Mr. Li

Highly recommended. Very authentic place. Delicious food @The Fish store.

Mark Sanchez

Clean and fun. Bright colors bustling, with a vibrant crowd.

John Pickersgill

Just a funky fun place , love ths taco shop.

Cody Praud

Busy little waterfront area with a bunch of outdoor restaurants and boathouses to walk around. The nachos were nothing special but the fish and chips were very good. There were a bunch of seals there that you could get chopped up fish and feed, that was pretty neat. Some of the houseboats were very interesting as well.

Michelle Wyman

Cute waterfront with tons greats foodie spots. Amazing seafood!

Paul Pipes

Thought it was great. A little smaller than expected but worth the time.

jd teachers

What a nice little Wharf where artisan shopping and local food come together for a great experience. If you decide to visit, make sure that you give yourself ample time....the standard 45 minute double decker red tour bus drop off doesn't cut it. Give yourself 90 minutes to take it all in while you enjoy the food, sightsee, and shop.

Jennifer Thompson

Beautiful, clean and varied. Lots of restaurants. Colorful House Boats. Stunning.

이도현

Good place to visit! And fish and chips

Carina Ng

Lovely area for fish n chips

Ric Johnson

It's a fun place to visit, especially if you haven't been there before. Several really good places to eat, including fish & chips, BBQ, pizza, Mexican, and ice cream. Nothing fancy; you sit outdoors at picnic tables and enjoy the sights, such as the colorful house boats, the fishing craft, and the tourists. Great for a family outing. Tough for wheelchairs, as there is a steep ramp down to it from the street and no accessible bathroom.

Nadine Loucks

A must do. Take a water taxi over to Red Fish Blue Fish.

Marta Fracek

Lots of restaurants, got to listen to life music and walk down to see the boats and more quite place to sit and talk

Carter B

It's cute. A bit busy during the summer, but enjoyable to people watch. Also you can view seals which I have seen on multiple occasions! You can walk among many boats to escape from the crowds, but there are some nice shops. Definitely worth a visit!

Ben Hilborn

A lovely spot, if a bit crowded. The playground is great for the kids, the wharf has some really tasty food.

Mike Dennett

Fun location on the water.

SheriandRex Robertson

Great on a sunny day! Lovely green space, many food choices down on the wharf and access to the Harbour Ferry.

Simply Dusty

Such a great place to walk and spend the day! Very cool!

Hitankar Ray

Visiting this place was a much needed change for those feel stuck at home due to COVID. Some of the places are closed off but the restaurants are open. Tables are cleaned after customers have left to keep things sanitary. Weekends brings lot of people and social distancing can be difficult. Masks were recommended and most visitors wore them. All in all a good experience.

Chris Stephan Trouillot

Love the colors, the little shops and houses. It's a cute spot

Herb Betschart

Always a nice place to visit.

Stacey

Nice park to sit or being kids. Good shade where some picnic tables are. Had a nice time.

Vancouverite111

Nice place for an educational day for kids about the see life as you walk down the ward to check out the crabs , lobsters, fish and squids . …

Gilly M

One of my favorite places to visit in Victoria. The colorful house boats, the local food, and the location is just wonderful.

Kristina M

Love this place. Great food and amazing atmosphere ????????

Fouad Zarifeh

Great to walk around. Lots of shops and restaurants. You can feed the harbour seals. You can buy the scraps from the oyster shop there.

James Gonier

Awesome place. Love all the boat homes.

Francisco Javier Barrios Babilonia

What a place! Colorful little town. Beautiful. You can go for lunch. Bunch of places with delicious seafood.

Mustapha Rachidi

I just loved it, it is very nice to walk around, you can see floating houses, great food, a little bit expensive, you can see seals, you can feed them.. was a great experience as a first visit

Lee Wendy

This place is soooo beautiful❤️ I can sit here all day just enjoy the gorgeous landscape in front of me. There are many nice restaurants nearby. So you can come down here, take some walk and dig in some tasty food. If you have some free time in afternoon, then you should come here to enjoy the fantastic time.

sean knowler

My Dad and I went here. We had the best sea food we have eaten. Really cool Atmosphere ,music to sometimes

Jess W

Very cool experience! Barb's fish and chips are amazing! Highly recommended

David Blanks

fun place with eclectic food options for when the weather is nice!

eyup tunc

So many places are close...but its good..

Rob Weath

Good eateries but not a whole lot else to do

Logan Miles

Really cool place to visit with family and friends. Parking lot is usually full but if you drive a few blocks away you may find a spot for free (good for 2 hours). Not many, if any gluten free options for food.

Tabassum Miki Rabeya

This place is so nice. Love the vibe , colors and food options.

Marta Borowska

Great colorful spot to visit by the Harbour with a lot of food shops, personal residences, and boats. It’s a fun place to visit and grab some food. There is parking on site or you can walk here from downtown. Not a lot of parking. Wheelchair accessible entrance.

Linda Rodgers

Love this place. Great food and lovely location. Beautiful boat houses to look at and a fun place to stop for a bite to eat.

Debra

OMG you have to taste their FISH...best in Victoria!!

Ahmad Pirani

Must visit here if you are in Victoria BC. Not too many restaurants by good ones. Some of the paths to residential areas are closed (due to COVID, I assume).

Viviane Côté

Beautiful spot for a quick walk around and some pics and some snacks if you are so inclined.

Ross Ferguson

Cute little tourist trap! And the prices of food there aren't nearly as high as you'd expect for a tourist destination.

Tuna Steve

Great place to buy directly from the fisherman who caught your meal,when in season.

Renish Mathew

A great place to enjoy some great fish and chips. Its quite busy but it worth a visit.

cheryl

The food and ambience was fabulous! I had the Chicken Quesidia from the Mexican place and the most delicious French fries seasoned with garlic and rosemary with dipping sauce from another food place (first one down the ramp and to your right). My furbaby and I enjoyed a picnic in the park over looking Fisherman's Wharf, walked along the board walk after to the Inner Harbour. We saw a seal eat a Seagull. Loved the boats, planes, ocean side, looking at all the condo's and landscaping. We walked back to Fisherman's Wharf and listened to quiet music laying in the park where we had our picnic. A great doggo date and we met really nice people!

Angelo Fernandez

Really nice place, not so nice places

Rob Kwalheim

Fun place. Eateries and souvenirs abound.

Brielle McKendry

wow, its gorgeous! we walked from downtown Victoria and it was totally worth it. it's fun to walk along the decks and there's lots of food options. we got some delicious oysters at the fish store.

Jamie Robert

Very cool little float community with food venues and places to get kyaking or whale tours. Also a place to buy fish to feed the local seal population and there are some otters also.

Iris Ph

Perfect for a walk to explore this area. Many places to stop for a snack.

Brian Tucker

Many little food places, harbour tours, whale watching etc but it lacks something to do more than just food. Long hone is undersea gardens and other attractions in the area. Nice when warm and calm.

MAi Quyên Nguyễn Thị

Interesting lifestyle. So beautiful and advanced

Julian Worker

It is worth visiting simply for the floating homes alone however the other sights are worth the walk or the water taxi ride.

Eleonora VI

Lot's of interesting floating homes and delicious food.

K Carson

What a cute place to visit!! Great food as well!

Hong Ngoc Trinh

Fish and Chip was good and the views are beautiful.

Cloë Vetsuypens

Cool place to visit and go have some fish and chips!

Brian Gray

Nice spot to see the Victoria harbour. We took the little water ferry across to the Empress Hotel. Then watched the Ferry Boat Ballet twirl in the harbour with music. Recommend.

Rosco Daily

A short walk! Awesome service "good food and cold beer" at the Smoke n Anchor. On your way out pass by Sweets, The herb garden and Finest at Sea through the park.

Mark Hoy

A nice place with plenty of outdoor seating with about half a dozen food places for meals along with an ice cream place and candies. Parking can be tough.

J J

Nice place to stroll around

TheBrenno1981

Great spot to go for a bite. SeaTaxi makes all the difference.

Barb's makes a good fish 'n chips. Clam chowder is great. Fisherman 's Warf is a nice place to visit. All the residents have floating colorful houses.

Melissa Fu

Very relaxed atmosphere, had delicious oysters here! Saw many vendors for whale watching & kayaking

Mohammed AlSamak

This is a really nice place to either take your family or go and hang out with some friends. There's something for everyone with many restaurants and many choices. Its nice to watch the water taxis ride in and out, picking up and dropping off tourists and locals. I will have to come back here!

Dom Lebel

Great place to go for lunch, dinner and/or ice cream then walk the calories off along the inner harbour to take in the views. Food is a bit pricier than at other places in Victoria, but all vendors have excellent offerings. It is to be expected as the experience of eating outside on the floats makes this a unique thing to do in Victoria. As it stands, tables are set outside and well distanced from one another, some of them are covered and some uncovered, and most vendors serve their food on 100% compostable wares. I highly recommend a visit, you can check out the menus online for most if not all of the vendors too so you have an idea of what there is on offer and prices prior to heading out. It is Robbins pay parking right at the top of the access ramp to the doc, 2 hrs will run about about 2.50 at current rates, and there are public washrooms about 50m down from the main restaurant area. Currently, masks are recommended but not mandatory due to the wharfs being outside.

Erica Fritch

Lots of spots for a meal or treat, cute houseboats, great views. Good for family or solo.

Jonatan Almanza V.

Very nice place to go for lunch, dinner or just walk around, people still live in their floaring houses and you can even taken the Water racionalista that will time you around the locations. Come and visit. Really worth it. 10 minutes walking from the cruise ship pier and 5 minutes walking to go downtown from there. Very centric.

Trena Laine

Fun. Trendy. Cute. We visited. Drank beer. Ate food. Toured around. Came back 2nd day for our own personal family photoshoot with hired photographer. Its busy but accessible by foot, vehicle or our fave transportation WATER TAXI! Restaurants and washrooms clean. Wheelchair friendly as mother in law was in hers.

Chris

Good place to grab some food and enjoy the peacefulness of the waters. It’s smaller than I thought and we visited just after lunch so there was really nothing left to do here. We spent 10 minutes top.

Traci Sam

Very interesting here. Went on tour of inner harbor today. Get to go try some food next. Great atmosphere fo sure!

Kyle James-Patrick

I picked a great day for a wonder. Very cute place.

Gay Family

Great time with the kids. Went in for breakfast or lunch great ambiance and people are not packed and within safe distance. Good for fish and chips, ice cream, burgers, salsa or just a stroll around the block

Julius Goros

Beautiful place !!! Stopped here on our Alaska cruise

Shireen khan

Amazing sea food , service a little slow. Shopping is great at the gift shops , can bargain for a deal . Friendly Korean stores .

Zain Ul Abideen

Beautiful place to enjoy alongside sea. You will get the freshest seafood there.

Gordon Allison

Lots of space for social distancing

Jennifer Lynn

Not much to do here but eat, so it's a good place if you're hungry. Outdoor seat is plentiful. There is one store to shop in but it was closed the weekend we went. …

Victor Gandon

Really cool to check out but it is very small and pretty busy. I was expecting it to be a bigger market but its a few food stands. Very cute though!

Angel Armamento

Good food and upbeat atmosphere. Would recommend the fish and chips there. Multiple outdoor tables with shade available to bring your take out food during covid season. Nice display of ships on the other side. Paid parking.

Noemi Belotti

A perfect place for rest and eat some good fish! There is a market inside, where you can have a lot of different meals. The view is also amazing!

Derek Jamieson

Really cool place to check out! Restaurants and walking paths. They have the nicest portable washrooms ive seen in a public park.

Teresa M

Quiet due to COVID, so it was a great opportunity to take some really nice photos.

Robs Fpv

Beautiful, Serene, place to eat or shop with sea life all around you

Klaus Dengler

Great please for sightseeing.

Cinder Woods

I knew this park when it was a dry, scratchy, uncared for playing field. Now, green grass, a help-yourself community herb garden, playground for young children, food vendors on both sides, and it's a dog park from 7:00 till 9:00 am! Really lovely.

Atis Metuzals

Fantastic atmosphere for a tourist to stroll and take in the scenery, the many foods, tours and all amenities that go with a fisherman's wharf. It is not only a working area but a residential setting for the ample colorful houseboats right in the middle of everything. Parking is small and an ever lurking meter man is always nearby to catch that 'illegal" parker. Lots of little ferries to bring you across the harbour. Barb's fish & chips are must to try out. This area gets extremely busy during the summer so be ready.

Bennett Holgate

First time visiting Victoria and this was one of my favourite spots. Really cool place with lots of options for food and drink. Really is a one of a kind spot.

Inderjit V M

If you are in Victoria, don't miss this beautiful place.

Quaint little place with shops and seafood restaurants.

Robert Wolf

A very nice to visit and there are several restaurants for a lunch or dinner. Allocate 30 minutes. There is paid parking.

Carlos Diogo

Beautiful floating market with beautiful floating houses. Fun place to hang out and watch the seals. Always full of people. Great food and great vibes!

We have been coming here since it was actually a fisherman’s wharf. Now we enjoy taking the kids there for a nice meal and enjoying the atmosphere.

Gabriele Milione

Amazing place! I love spending my Saturday there!

Rita McDade

Great day for fish and chips at Barbs!

Vivian Schirripa

Cute area with plenty of food shops and a few stores. Closes from dusk to Dawn.

Rachel Deng

Shrimp Tacos is the best ????

Marie-Andrée Ouimet

We really enjoyed our visit. We parked at the near public parking (very cheap). We brought our dog (great decision, people stopped to pet him, there were water bowls everywhere, a very friendly dog area). We had the best fish and chips. Overall, a great stop in Victoria!

Karsten Mendoza

Beautiful place to visit while in Victoria.

Deborah Insook Kim

Was good place but those foods are not really various to choose. Even closed very early time. We couldn’t get the oyster. But the seafood pizza was pretty nice! Very windy about 6pm. Please get your windbreaker for there. And take the sea taxi. Great experience.

karthik varadarajan

Scenic Place- Candy shops and many some fast food restaurants too.

Deiva Canali Magalhaes

Most places were closed, not a good place to visit in the winter; the houses were interesting though

Jehangir Syed

Very cool place to check out for an hour or so. The colour houses are picturesque and the shops offer decent seafood choices. Must see during a Victoria visit.

lya k

One of the most charming attractions in Victoria - piers with beautifully painted boathouses, views of Victoria inner harbor, with several restaurants on water (fish n chips, icecream, mexican food etc), seating area, fishing boats docked …

Daniel Elliott

Great food, beautiful buildings and loved the animal life.

jenefa de souza

Afternoon tea harks back to that time and sets it apart. Its great when you are in Victoria BC

Dan Davies

Cool place for a walk, with beautiful views of the harbour.

Yup Poong

Fisherman's Wharf has very lovely and lively atmosphere. There are many good places that serve affordable food and you will be able to see the seals. Go there and chill with your food.

Yulia Litman

If you are looking for simple and delicious street food, you are in the right place. We enjoyed 4 different meals and will be happy to come back again and again!

Arthur Kanaria

A must see place. Simply beautiful

Aaron Krause

Great place to just relax and grab a bite to eat.

Will Reiher

Great place to eat fresh and affordable seafood. Lots of options and places to sit. Can get a little busy on hot days but it's worth it.

Dimitris Protsios

Quaint little place for a quick stop. Full of colors and floating houses / shops. It becomes way too crowded early in the afternoon so my is better to visit as early as possible. There is a nice gift shop to buy some souvenirs and a variety …

Rinat Haque

Such a vibrant place to visit. Parking is available and lots of food options.. (they can be expensive)

Pankil Bhavsar

Great experience & great food. Awesome Mexican live music at mexican seafood restaurant. Enjoyed salsa dance too.. visit every Friday till September to enjoy live music.

Prakash Sivananthan

Beautiful setting and really good food options.

Adam Boroniec-Maslis

Lots of food options and places to sit. The view is lacking, however the ambiance is white nice. Masks are not required on the wharf itself, but may be required at some of the shops.

Nancy Bryans

This area is a must ????see. Lots of charming boats and food boutiques to explore for fish.

Barendina Smith

This place is amazing! Or at least it was. Then they decided to take the privileges away from us that they've allowed us for so many years. We used to be able to come here and feed the seals and it was such a awesome experience for not only the parents but the kids especially. Last year they decided they were going to create a barrier so that we couldn't feed them anymore. There was no reason given. That was the one biggest reason we continue to visit the Fisherman's Wharf. The food is very good and the atmospheres friendly. One day I hope to own a float home right there :-)

Allie’s voyage

Amazing location for a quiet walk on the docks and photography. Sundays at 9am is great! Nothing but the sounds of birds and ocean air. We will certainly return on a sunny day.

Ashik Mahbub

must stop. can get mad windy

Kate Bowcut

What a cool place! It was so pretty here! The shops were interesting with great prices! Got some great souvenirs! Fun to see homes on the water too! Lots of choices for food! Lots of fun!

Karl Negrave

Really cute, but bloody expensive.

Dennis Gane

A lovely trendy area. For a romantic or just a change of pace evening, take the water taxi over from one of its many locations and have meal outdoors on the wharf. We did Barb's Fish and Chips.

Jorge Billsy

Super neet place. Love it.

Chad P

Cute collection of boat houses. Several tour groups have booths thier and a few restaurants. Nice boardwalk near there that follows the shore line.

Emily Alarcon

Surprising colorful wharf in Victoria. Should be amazing in summer time

Ross

Great place to grab a bite to eat by the water

Heather C

Such a fun spot to visit for lunch. The floating houses are charming and the selection of food is great. Barbs fish and chips is highly rated and definitely lived up to their reviews. From 4pm-5pm 'The Fish Store' offers buck a shuck ($1 per oyster)

Ross Ferguson

Cute little tourist trap! And the prices of food there aren't nearly as high as you'd expect for a tourist destination.

S. B

I love this place. You can do some seal watching. A good chance for Instagramming some photos. Restaraunts and takeaways with varied food. A really cool place to hang out for a while.

Mustafa Farah

Beautiful family outing.

George Moss

Great place to run around with kids, there's some good shade when it's hot but the playground is a little sparse in the equipment is dated. There's some great food done at the Wharf.

Stephanie Kersey

Can be pretty crowdy but the food and view was great. Aside from some tasty food options, there are also some nice little shops for some souvenirs if you are visiting.

Spencer Rice

It’s such a beautiful place to bring family and gather. Love the park and atmosphere. Truly recommend visiting!

Victoria Lara

Cool place to see, but not sure if I would recommend this to be visited in November. We got there at 11 am (time that restaurants should be opening) and everything was closed. We waited for 30 min and it was still totally dead... we heard that in the summer is better.

Andrés Peñaloza

I loved this place. Lots of good food with amazing view and environment. I wish we had something like this in Vancouver!

Mathieu Malette

Even if lots of places are closed. It's alway great to eat at Barb's and watch the port with the salt water breeze.

土萠ほたる

A wonderful place to enjoy the scenery and spend time with my kids. Definitely not as busy with the pandemic in effect and lack of tourists, so I try to see it as a moment to connect with locals and the community instead of being bored at home.

Peachey Family

Such beauty. These floating homes were stunning.

Tony Whyte

Went for lunch, it was awesome! Busy, but not too busy. I had the seared wild tuna burger...very yummy!

MJS

Cute. Nice to see. Very touristy

Cathy Moore

The wharf is home to many eclectic and colourful floating homes with an assortment of small container plants and flowers. There are several eateries, such as Barb's, that offer a variety of foods and then top off your meal with soft serve or hard ice cream or sorbet at the ice cream shop. If you're lucky, a harbour seal might poke it's head up and entertain you.

Jenna English

Cute park with a lot of food options. Loved the Tacos!

Brendan Hood

Victoria is a city of parks and gardens. The views from the small knoll are gorgeous and the gardens are lush and full of life. When the wharf itself is bustling and busy, this little gem of a park offers a quiet spot to consume fish and chips, ponder life or just take a few minutes of peace and quiet.

Richard

A must see place when visiting Victoria. Great little shops to have food. You can take the water taxis there for $7.50 per person which is also a fun experience.

Howard Jackson

Very unique place to see Small venders, with lots different items, Places were you can sit to eat all the sea food you want Views of the boats, yats and wildlife it's just at aww. Other areas so close just walks away. Cattle point.

Andy Hope

Fishermen's wharf is definitely a must if you go to Victoria!

Rhea Mae Dungog

This is why I love victoria in general!!

Kat R

Very nice place. We saw a seal swimming too. There’s also a washroom in the wharf. It seems like a lively place and it’s near the Breakwater District. There’s also a water fountain beside the whale watching stall.

Gerry Chifamba

Loved this place. It has cute little restaurants and ice cream spots all floating on this beautiful wharf. Vibrant colors, friendly people, great ambiance. The only thing is if you drop something it's going straight into the water (I dropped my bank card and it slipped through boards, never to be seen again).

Maria Mainart

One of the cutest places ever, reminded me a little bit of Amsterdam's vibes. Delicious options to eat, such as the famous Barb's Fish & Chips. Take the boat from there to save a walk back to downtown and enjoy the landscape. It gets pretty busy but still manageable to find places to sit. Delightful corner of Victoria with the gorgeous boat houses!

othello tuason

Nice walk from the inner harbour, capped off with a lunch.

Vanessa Liew

Must-visit if you’re touring Victoria. Colourful house boats and a lovely wharf is a delightful experience for the family. Lots of food options too, beyond the expected fish & chips.

Ivy Loly

Nice little attraction. Nice walk from Downtown Victoria

Morgan Davies

Cool spot. Bright floating homes, boats and unique tasty spotsto grab a bite.

Ariane Genet

So pretty. Lots to eat. Prices ok for the unicity of the place. Does not provide a long activity. But the walk to get there along the port of Victoria is awesome.

Rodger Cartagena

A great place to relax and unwind. Not to mention all the different choices of food if you're hungry. What more could you ask for. The smell of the ocean breeze and the light rustling of the trees. This location is amazing no matter what the weather entails.

Jen Blake

A must in Victoria! The tiny homes on the water are each so unique plus great food options. If you look close enough you might even see a raccoon along the water edge!

Lisa

Quick stop as their isn't much to do but the pier was clean.

c sealy

Even on an overcast day this place offers an easy stroll down the boardwalk. You can buy live crab, lobster, and shrimp. Or you can have fish and chips, while chilling right beside the water.

Jamie Dargusch

Cute area overlooking the water. Stopped to pickup the water taxi. Many places to grab a bite to eat, get some sweet treats, or a cold beverage while overlooking the water. Nice playground for the kids to play at too!

B Moore

This is a must see place! Order some food and enjoy your grub on the wharf!

Cody P

Very nice park with a playground for kids. There are several different food vendors on the docks, including Barbs fish and chips which has been a local favorite since 1984. Fresh seafood is also sold, both from a shop and off of fishing boats.

Emily Hamp

A nice little walk along the ocean to get here from downtown, lots of cute little food options and even some places to buy little Knick knacks, local art and pottery and such! A nice place to just walk around, check out some of the privately owned houseboats

Bruno Gruber

Absolutely lovely place to get a bite and a beer. The eateries are on floating houses and have something for everyone. From pulled pork sandwiches to authentic fish tacos, gelato and fish & chips. Walk around the wharf and check out the floating houses, but make sure to stay away from private property as people actually live there!

Nolastname Tysonchu

Awesome place

farzod darzi

Cute little food court floating on water. It's good to have a meal and take some pics????

Laura Doucette

Such a beautiful spot to check out! We took the Water Taxi over and it was such a nice ride!

Prabin Rokaya

This is one of my favorite places in Victoria! I really like the colorful dock houses, which gives a bit of Venice feel. Sadly, there was restriction this year against walking around the houses, but you can still walk around few restaurants (on dock). If you are lucky, you can also see seals!

Bernard Rozario

Great place and great food. Fish and chips or crabs are the best you can get there.

Rohit Srinath Bharadwaj

Nice place to walk around and have good lunch. Ferry taxi to this place was good ...

Celine Balleza

Quirky colourful houses and a selection of stalls to pick up food from. A little bit further from downtown than expected (esp walking in the heat!) so i would recommend hopping on a water taxi on your way back.

Marieta C.

In a sunny day in Victoria it is a the place to be and enjoy halibut fish & chips served from a floating restaurant. Faceing the see and the boats. Than take the see taxi and navigate to other enjoyable places.

Mark Nunez

Was fun to walk around and I like the famous fish and chips while I was there.

Elaine MacRae [Staff]

Very quaint, cute place to have lunch. Love all the houses on the water. Very colorful. We wanted to visit the Blue Crab but they were not open until dinner time. Easy to walk to the wharf but consider taking the water taxi from the other …

Dana T

Lovely place as usual.

AEW Designs

Awesome place to just grab a bite to eat and relax!

Carole Felipe

A nice experience to go to Fisherman's Wharf Park. Lots of different food vendors to choose from. If you go during peak hours prepare yourself to wait and line and look for a table. The food is good and the experience of eating and supporting local is worth it!

Oscar Velez

Cute place to visit, classic touristy spot but has good food options as well defs worth the visit

Tiago Cotrim

I only visited this place after the 4th time I came to Victoria, and it was an amazing find! Those floating homes are absolutely amazing, what an incredible living experience that must be! It is an awesome place to eat if you like seafood, and you can buy fresh crabs for a great price. You can arrive here by taking the water taxi from the marina in front of the Fairmont Empress hotel, or you can walk/drive there.

Santhalingam Jeyagaran (Jey)

Not much than the busy downtown atmosphere. We got food from the Mexican place and not very good for the price tag.

Hazel Hye-Jung Im

it was very happy to visit here. my first time

Ricardo Guzman

Lovely place with many different lunch options and stuff to buy.

Francisca Echeverria

Beautiful place!! We love it! Water houses and restaurants!

Bud Burrell

Touristy but still nice? I had fish and chips from Barb's. It was decent.

Alex Stewart

Great little place to check out they've got a couple places you can grab a quick bite and its just overall a very neat place to see.

connie leung

Very nice park to walk around and have some fish and chips.

Sharad Kumar

Close to inner harbour, excellent destination for a foodie...Especially for the sea food lovers, fresh sea food available ...One can watch floating homes, fisherman boats ...Could be a novel destination fir many...

Josh Nahmias

Tourist trap. Small and not super interesting. Fish and chips was good though.

Jordan Kroeger

Plenty of parking but get there early. Lots of tasty food options and ice cream. You may even find a beer or two if you're looking ???? Oh and the scenery is spectacular if you like the ocean.

Alex

Nice place to bring the kids. Great fish and chips. The new rule not permitting to feed the resident seals is a black mark. Hope the city reverses this.

Natasha Lencewich

Such a beautiful spot. I cannot wait to try all these foods!

Christian Ardito

Beautiful park in Victoria, BC.

Bartosz Scheller

Great place for some views of the city escapes, fish and chips and to go on a whale watching tour. A must see place in Victoria, along with Chinatown.

Pattie Pierre

Been twice! Very good food and vybz!

John Sheret

Busy with Tourists but always so nice to visit

Ridhwaan Murad

Nice little gem on Vancouver Island not too far from the BC legislature. A wharf with a marina full of different sea going vessels of varying sizes along with residential house boats. A lot of restaurants offering a wide assortment of foods and a great place to bring the kids or in my opinion to spend a lazy Sunday. I tried a little bit from as many places as I could, fish and chips, pizza, Mexican and even the mini donuts and kettle corn. There is a lot of pay parking available and a lot of outdoor seating available. I enjoyed my time here and recommended a visit to the for anyone who finds themselves on the island.

Thibault Lecres

If you are wondering: It is a food court. Within a small fisherman village you can't really explore since those houses are private properties. Really nice place with its own atmosphere in Victoria: A must go for a quick (And original) meal.

Marina M

Loved it! Your photographs turn out beautiful.

Kenny G. Music

Kind of a disappointment. Nothing special here at all. Expected far better for a seaside village in the capital of British Columbia. humph.

Heika Smith

Fantastic time! So pretty and we'll kept!!!

Deepak Rajput

Don't expect the whales to jump around you. Will just show whales from 200-300 meters as they are endangered animals ...but it was worth going. And the person on deck was awesome and the owner was so cool .. I would recommend going there.

Matt Ward

Barb's 4 the win. She's not fooling me that everything on the tray is compostable however.

Nathan Hale

Great food and cute houses. Watch as planes take off right of the bay next to you.

Brian Scutt

Had a fantastic time on the Wharf. Great food and shop selection.

Mona Shehzad

A beautiful and serine view. Because of winter not much hustle and bustle. But we enjoyed our time. I am very amazed to see floating homes. Very well kept beautiful properties.

Lorna Archer-Quinn

Great place to visit..of friendly. Great food and views.

Reet Padda

Very lovely place for all ages. Yum food with so many options. The Mexican food was delicious. I had guacamole and chips with crispy tostada (chicken and pork) and pork was my fave.

Aviram Oren

One of the best botanical gardens I have ever seen

Mr Wolf

The Fisherman’s Wharf Park is a very neat and unique, especially if you are experiencing the coast for the first time. The colours are amazing and the atmosphere is market like in feeling. A few places to eat and a quick glimpse at some …

Leon Loo

A fun way to spend a few hours.

Jaat on wheels

If you want to see the floating house's in Victoria than this is the best place for him

Kelly Sendall

Lots of great food outlets and sunny patio tables on the wharf. But don't feed the Harbour Seals waiting for handouts.

Allan Bernard Fernandez

When compared to places like White Rock, Richmond (Steveston), and even Coal Harbour, Fisherman's Wharf Park in Victoria is so much better. Great food and surprisingly low prices (unlike most every "tourist trap" in BC.

Ray Archer

Quaint location very pretty area, very crowded though can be hard to move around in a group. Lots of restaurants, didn't eat there though there was no seating available, and found crowd overwhelming.

Killian

Beautiful little floating houses :-).

Guy McLean

Nice place to hang out

Enakshi Samanta

Beautiful place with great fish and chips.

David Mills

I really love this park. The city has transformed what was once very ordinary into a great park, returned in part to its natural state. A perfect park for a picnic, close to Fisherman's Wharf and Finest at Sea.

Lindsey Koenig

A cute little wharf to see floating B&B super cute. Good food and yummie slushies not whole lot to do but still a cute little place to check out ????

kingxl10

There isn't much to the park itself besides a harbour themed play area and some grassy hills but the main attraction is the actual wharfs. The houses on the wharves are cool to check out and the different eateries are all good (but naturally overpriced). There are some good pathways to walk around the park if you just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the ocean.

Nazmus Sakib

Beautiful place to hangout on a sunny day

Marilou Tolentino

We were there early in the morning so the stores were closed and it's just the cruise passengers meandering around. Just by the look at it, it's a very small business community on float homes.

Bertha Ethier

Very pretty but very touristy. Good food and nice to visit. Children loved looking at the floating homes.

Gail Boyce

Beautiful and colorful. So interesting to see the homes on the water. We just strolled through but I'd like to take more time again and explore.

Paulanne Peters

What a cool place to visit and have lunch. Food was great and you can't beat the scenery.

LANMonkey GC

A wonderful almost hidden treat to visit when exploring the Victoria downtown harbor. Use the passenger ferries or walk from any of the hotels. Plentiful selection of great food and beverages, and a family friendly, clean location.

Peter Chung

A fun place to visit. Unfortunately, we didn't see any seals when we were there at noon.

Don Beaudin

My wife and I had visited the Wharf many times while on vacation in Victoria. Very beautiful and a must see

Emma Chrenek

Nice place to sit and have a snack with a friend

Joy Jung

Beautiful place to visit in very colourful area.. fish and chips and ice creams are awesome!!

Matthew Hutchinson

Great place to eat fresh fish! I recommend the fish store! For fish and chips!

Mason Bennett

Most of the time pretty busy but good food and a really good whale watching tour with very nice people

Mike Lynds

Great spot to stop for a bite to eat or a drink or two. Right on the water.

Kim Lewis

Beautiful scenery. Not too crowded. The food that we had at Barbs was not great however.

Antonio Vidal

Great place to hang out with lots of great food options without being overly expensive.

Alice Hernandez

Beautiful walk and great day. Stopped for some fish and chips!????

Laura Roman Yoga

Super busy place but lovely vibe

Sean Payne (Envirofog Solutions)

Stunning ambience, great food!! Water taxis to Old Town a must

Patricia Parsons

For me, it was an unexpected find. I had no idea this was there until the habour tour dropped us off and told us we could grab any tour boat or taxi to get us back to downtown. For that, we could have paid $8.50 each instead of $30 ea for a #harbourtour we didn't finish. The wharf is so colourful. The food at The Fish Store was fantastic. They the chowder. Super tasty.

Mrinmoy Chakraborty

Best part of this location is - FISH and CHIPS. Go and get it and enjoy. Note: Please check the timings and their season of operation. In winter and fall, there are few shops and restaurants which were in operation. You get a stunning view of the boats and docks as well. Try to get there at golden hour (when there is a golden/warm hue in sunlight) to enhance the viewing experience,

rose o'neill

Beautiful area. Too bad you can't look at the peoples homes due to COVID-19 but still worth the visit

CiDYYJ

Unexpected and interesting. A short distance from the downtown Inner Harbour and there's a walkway along the water (about 25 minutes walk). Transit bus #2 will also take you there. Super busy in high season, nice relaxing in off-season with only a couple eating places open. Still, fresh fish, fresh air, great harbour traffic views - taxiing seaplane, water taxis, ferry traffic - and wonderfully bright and constructed floating homes. Highly recommend!

K C

Colorful marina, nice walking paths and some good restaurants

Leticia Hargreaves

So colourful & unique! Beautiful little floating houses and all the food here is great. Highly recommend the salmon burrito from the Mexican food place. Soooo yummy.

Genesis Paroco

Beautiful place to have a walk and patio time in a sunny day.

Sasha “Big Becky” Emamali

Me and my friends came down here on the weekend and it was very nice to be down there. The water looks very clean. The ice cream there is very appetizing and they have many treats and variety of candies that I love. The restaurants there are very delicious I like the seafood and the cotton candy of course. I like the look of the houses all together and I thought it was very cool that there were floating houses there.

Gerald Law

Worth seeing. The boat houses are very colorful and the environment is very clean. A bit commerical though.

Sanjiv Save

Vibrant place. Found difficult to get a spopt seat during.lunch hr..incredibly busy

Ernie Polsom

I suspect this is a lot more fun in season. With the numbers of people wandering about it did seem a bit of a lost opportunity though. Still a pretty part of a walk around the inner harbour.

George Hern

What a lovely fisherman's wharf, and the cool little water taxis are so cool.

Sandy Garrett

This place was something that you would see on a postcard. It was absolutely beautiful.

Maranda Nielson

Very cute tourist attraction in Victoria. We came in the off season, so everything was closed. It looks like there is a lot of restaurants. I am looking forward to going back in the summer when they ate open!

franz Pinto

Great seafood and ice cream you may see an occasional seal

Angie A.

The Sea, the yatches, the view, the boats, the people, the ambiance and the delicious fish and chips. All worth the visit.

Lanny Auger

It's a great place for a walk and scenery. Sometimes the seals are around and very friendly for all members of the family, even the animals....and lots of great choices for snacks, meals and treats! So if your thinking about it, don't think too long? Or you may miss out on a great experience?

LILY CHAI

Beautiful attraction in Victoria ! Very nice sunny day as well ! We all had a long and great walk together ! Absolutely loved it ! Fall is the best season in Victoria !

Omelett é

Possibly because this time of the year is NOT when most people go on vacations, almost every store was closed. There was only 3 other groups other than us for the one hour we were there and only 2 or 3 restaurants open. It was extremely empty and the dock kept on rocking on the water making it hard to just stand still or sit still. Definitely will not recommend. Maybe give it a try in the summer if you really want to.

Justin Hiscox

This place is super cool boats and sea life what more can you ask for.

Eric Phipps

Quaint little wharf with actual house boats and four to five restaurants. We did get a quick visit from a seal. The weather was raining at the time but the restaurants provide a covered place to sit while you eat.

Ah-Yeong Jo

One of the must go place in Victoria. It's got that market place vibe except it is on the shore. We originally got there to get fish and chips but it was the day the heat warning was issued and we were soooo exhausted from the sun so we ended up just having only cold beverages. I would like to go back to try food and dine in again.

Philip G

Seemed totally fine, mostly sells on location from the looks of it though.

Laurent Duveau

Nice for a quick visit, go there with the taxi boat!

Edmonton Alberta

Best fish and chip I have ever had

Greg Tabak

This is a very colourful and interesting place to explore. Nice little shops and restaurants along the water. Overall very nice place spend an afternoon

Lynn Brumby

A positive atmosphere as you walk amongst the cafes, stores and houseboats at Fisherman's Wharf. A

Sara Burke

Beautiful place to visit. If your coming to visit Victoria BC, then this is a must stop by before you leave here. It's so beautiful, peaceful. There is a water taxi you can take to different parts of Victoria. You can eat really yummy food. They have icecream. Seafood. Whale watching. Paid parking. Lots of parking. There is a park near for the kids to play. An absolute come check out this place.

Rita Omogolor

Always love the different mix and vibe here

Judinelly W Nimer

Such an adorable place ! Lovely to walk around, eat, and drink! Also love that there is many options to order from and a family friendly environment. Very quiet and busy place depending what time but the afternoon was full of people. Lots …

Finn G

Great place to stop for a lunch floating on the harbour with great ocean views. You can always Take a kayak tour at Kelp reef or Whale watching at Eagle wing, either way great spot to check out

sayar samanta

I just love the beauty of the place. The location was great. The food served here is exceptionally well. They have whale tour also from here. Must visit with family. If you want to taste the local fish food then definitely it is a must visit place. Will definitely recommend to all of my friends and others.

Addy Babs

Beautiful atmosphere, and a nice friendly community. You can also buy sea food here, raw from the fishermen or cooked from the restaurants. You can also book for your whale watching or book online. Since COVID, there are restrictions in place. You can't go close to the homes, which is very understandable. Store and restaurants are still open so don't worry you can still have fun and still take some lovely pictures.

Leland Falk

The food was delicious! There wasn't much else although due I imagine to the 2020 issues

Nash Nobley

Cool place to see if your on vacation, nice little shop there too, but not much to do other than that!

Jason Newton

I ended up eating at Barb's but my son went to Mexican Seafood. The food was great, we went around 5pm so it wasn't too busy. Funny enough, I grew up in Victoria and I've never been there before. I'll need to go back and try out the other restaurants. It had a good vibe and is family friendly.

love Wright

We love this place and the Fish and chips here are delight ????

Earl of Sandwich

What a beautiful little spot on the water. Ate at the Mexican restaurant there and it was really good. There's whale watching, kayaking, ice cream and some oyster bars. Plus a little Nick knack store.

Rupal Kalra

Barb’s fish and chips And Pizza on plank (if I remember it correct) Great food!!

Maleeha M.

Nice place with flaoting houses and boats and sea food!

Mags

I hiked from the cruise ship dock to downtown Victoria, then stopped at Fisherman’s wharf on my walk back to the boat. I love this whimsical pier with floating tiny houses, bnbs, restaurants, and shops. Not only did i have a chance to rest and grab some delicious food, I also found some funky art and jewelry, and i was able to wander up and down the piers to enjoy the cleverly decorated homes, the colorful water taxis, the boats, and the happy people. I spent about 2 hours here by myself and though i could have spent more time here, i saw everything, got a snack, gifts, photos, and enjoyed it all tremendously.

Adam Giles

Cool neighborhood!

Melo Momentz

One of my favorite places on the island

Joanna Dee

Strolled around the area early while the shops are still closed, its okay! The views are nice and relaxing.

Josh

Another pleasant example of how a City can manage its social issues for the benefit of all. I'm sure there's more work to be done, but it seems like they're well on their way. …

Thomas Guerrero

Best tourist attraction in Victoria in my opinion. It is fun. On the harbour and a great places for locals and visitors to get something to eat.

Patrice Fortin

Small but nice

Shelley Hodgson

Super amazing to walk around and check out all the shops and restaurants

Haley (haley)

Lovely spot full of colour . loved fisherman’s wharf park . Will go again

W.J.G. [Hans] Oudshoorn

Nice walk. Nice views

Meghan Oxenbury

I love coming down here to visit the seals. It's great for a nice walk on quiet days. Really cute little boat houses.

Octavio Gil

Cool spot, about 1floating restaurants. No shops, just a easy walk on the warf

Josh at The Barrel

Cool to see while walking by but jammed packed with tourists on the inside. None of the restaurants here are anything to write home about (standard fish and chips) so this one is better observed from the shoreline trail.

Christina Fong

Delightful! 2x fish & chip, 1x Mexican seafood, 1x pizza & mini donuts/ice cream vendors w/ many outdoor picnic tables immediately adjacent. Colourful boat house provides a lovely setting. Park across parking lot has a good playground. Handy for young kids & a picnic.

Mike Congdon

Lovely little quant wharf with several gift shops and excellent seafood huts. Seating is primarily outdoor picnic tables, there are some tent coverings for light rain, or bring a slicker and enjoy. Some vessels sell live crab from the dock.

Manuela S

Nice to spend sometime, walk around, take some pictures, have a beer and maybe eat. They also have booths where you can purchase tours like the whale watch for example. Food choices are mostly snacks like pizza, fish tacos, etc. One of the vendors had half price happy hour on oysters, which was a pretty good deal and very delicious. There was also a mini donut stand and they were really good. Stroller friendly, public toilets, near a nice park. Very small amount of seats available.

Josh Nahmias

Tourist trap. Small and not super interesting. Fish and chips was good though.

maritoni010592

Always on top of my list everytime I come visit

Aubrey Ramos - Beebe

Gooooddd Fooood and Good Ice Cream

Great place but alot of people

Kris Hadis

Lovely place. Cute colorful small houses. Lots of restaurants to enjoy. A good place to spend an afteenoon in Victoria B.C.

Anita Hoogerhyde

First time I had fish tacos, and they were very good! Made with fresh caught fish. It was also very scenic. Resident harbor seal hanging out and looking for handouts.

Rob Richards

Lots of green space, great views, peaceful for sitting on a blanket and eating fries.

Shannon Shields

Ate at the Smoke and Anchor tonight. I had the tuna bowl, my friend had the pulled pork on a bun. Both were amazing and the price was good! Will be going back for sure.

Thiago Hinkel

Great place for a walk. Good options for food.

Ann Marie L

Superb fresh oyster! Will return for the oysters ????

Jeff Pozin

It's just a must visit on a warm summer day. Lots of different restaurants... Down by the water (obviously). It just has a great feel to it.

cheri g

Wonderful place to visit while in Victoria. I didn’t eat at any of the plentiful restaurants but I really enjoyed the colourful buildings and gift shops.

Elizabeth Morris

Such a cute area in Victoria. They have fish & chips, ice cream, and other great restaurants. There is very little shade here so WEAR SUNSCREEN. You'll find a lot of charm here walking around, eating good food, and seeing the cute house boats.

Giselle Denis

Cute little places to eat right on the pier and check out the rows of small houses & fishing boats. Th Ing’s like fish and chips and tacos & sandwiches and ice cream. You can also catch a water taxi for a tour or to get around to places close by.

Lora Lonesberry

One of my favorite places. It's a different experience every time!!

Instinct to Heel

Took my girl here for a visit. Def worth checking out. ????

Aleksander Tsvetkov

This was an awesome spot to visit! We took the water taxi here from outside where the empress hotel is. The shops and snack spots on the water were great, and the slushee / popcorn and cotton candy guy made our kids day. Getting off the dock there is a nice park too. Would definitely be going back.

Elizabeth Matthews

Great place to go and meet new people and great food.

O'Neil

Was a interesting experience. Kinda fun for walking and see homes on water. Colorful and interesting. Lots of ice cream huts and fast food spots. Fun little place to walk around.

Candice Clark

Such a neat place to visit and the fish and chips at the fish store was amazing.

STM Billiards Installation & Repair Services

It's a beautiful place to just walk around a grab some food!! There are food booths set up and there's places to just sit and relax!

Juan Geldres

If you like colourful marine settings this is the place to go, even in Winter time. Friendly restaurants, water taxi, lots of boats and actual people's residences on the piers (please be respectful of them). Great pictures specially on sunny days!

Patricia Wu

Cute floating houses and business. A nice walk and view into the harbour. The roads leading to and out of the wharf is also a relaxing walk. We walked from the wharf to Breakwater lighthouse, totally doable with a nice view!

MattAlive

A destination where all of your Victoria experience dreams come true

Asad “Arcane”

Really awesome place to visit in Victoria. The food and gift stalls are nice but the highlight of this place would be the seals you can feed and see up close. They sell small fish at the black shack for $5 that you can feed the seals. One of the most memorable experiences of my life.

MJ Sanchez

A very cute place! We couldn't go on the water taxi due to limited time. Just going around looking at the house boats and eating kalamari were nice enough ????

Nami

Colourful, good fish & chips restaurants. But quite crowded.

dale erhardt

Great food, not a lot of places to sit though...

Michael Major

Beautiful part of Victoria with a small fishing village feel

Chris Malek

Must visit place in Victoria. Had the best halibut dinner and seafood chowder at Barb's... Highly recommended.

GJ Pineda

We saw seals here!! Great place to see some seals

Tyler Bergen

Had a nice walk and saw the sea at fisherman's wharf park

Sylvia Moores

Very pretty place to spend a few hours at

Travis Mason

Sweet Place for a Nice Time to Hang Out and Waste Some Time. Alright Eating Establishments Here as Well as a Drop Point on the Water Taxi. Lot os Seals getting Large over Here. Just Watch Out for Seagulls.

craig Jolley

A really interesting and eclectic mix of floating houses in the harbour. Great to eat some fish and chips at the waters edge whilst watching the seals and sea otters swimming around.

Rick

Was still very nice place to visit despite most of it still being closed because of Covid.

ENAKSHI PAUL

Fresh food and local gift shop.

Mauricio Cortina Silva

Really nice place where you'll able to have fun, and maybe eat some good food !

Nathan Roques

Cute houses but not a lot to do there. Many restaurants for tourists. Part of the wharf is not accessible because it is a private property where people are living.

Thiago Hinkel

Great place for a walk. Good options for food.

Dafne Lopez

I'm not a huge fan but at the same time it is a place you have to see at least once, it was really charming and colorful, the floating houses where the thing that caught my attention the most, a nice place to have a drink and food

Robert T

Unbelievable gem at the wharf...incredible world renown place to eat...highly recommended either as a local or visitor...and...you get free refills on your drink!!!

Catherine Rogers

This urban park borders on a unique community. There is plenty to explore while you walk and see the sights but be sure to recognize the privacy of the locals who live here.

Digital Loop

If you like getting caught in a tourist trap you willove this. Overpriced food vendors and private docks so you can't actually check out the houseboats (although people do live there so that's not a fair argument). Even still, it was interesting to see, but not worth the time it took to get there.

Leah Fjeldstad

Lots of choice. Good food but pricey. Unique experience worth the cost. Clean.

Andrea Salmon

What fun, and the fish and chips were awesome

jn0504

Charming place that puts a smile on your face! Barbs fish and chips is a must!

Rosângela

This place is amazing! A place for you to walk and visit beautiful and colorful houseboats and try the delicious " Fish and Fries".

Gordo Mcfly

Tourist place with trinkets, nic nacs, beer , ice cream , mexican food , fish and chips , it's a groovy place to visit

Z W

I love fisherman's wharf! There are some great food options, and seeing the seals is awesome! Sometimes a worker will come from the fish shop to feed them. A must see in Victoria for sure.

David Williams

Small but quaint collection of businesses. Also water taxi service for inner harbor.

Oliver Drust

Not worth the visit, unless you are into fast food

Danielle Valcourt

Nice gluten free options! I found very happy, kind people working here

Serge Zaharoff

A very nice place to visit. A lot of various attractions and food.

Geoff “Island Life 2015”

Sunny day, a little cool outside of the sun but totally magical facing away from the people, you are in your own little world.....

Aaron Sigurgeirson

Really crowded and a bit of tourist trap. Pretty there, but be prepared for lines and crowds.

Flavio

Must-go place if you visiting Victoria! I got so amazed with the floating homes and restaurants over there, it’s very unique

Barbara Gresli

Quaint, quirky dotted with eatery's and shops for all tastes.

Colleen Magee

Must see when in Victoria. Great place to grab a bite, a drink and relax.

John Nohr

Lots of amazing people and food what more could I ask for:)

Joseph Batty

Great walk amongst the boats and small ships Lots of small businesses with food and knick knacks

Sam Laberge

Nice place, perfect for fish N chips

Lee Scott

I hope when Covid is under control we can go back to seeing all of the amazing places.

Emjay Jones

I only walk through and along the water. Beautiful view n ppl

V S

This is a cute place on the bay to grab a light bite and look at the the marina. There are some tour agencies that offer from kayaking to whale seeing. It is quite small for the amount of visitors that go, so keep in mind that large groups may not be a good idea. There is plenty of entertainment for kids and the place is quite instagramable. I do not recommend this place for single travellers just looking to explore places.

Kristin Macdonald

Very colourful and fun to visit.

Mark Zanstra

Great place to visit!. Take the watertaxi to the other side of the harbour. For only seven dollars!!!????????

Mona Javed

Loved the atmosphere here. There was a Mexican band playing beside the restaurant and i loved the vibes.

Sunny Pahooja

A great place to spend the afternoon or evening. Great food, floating restaurants and diverse crowd. There's also a park across where you can sit and enjoy your meals. Ample parking and washroom facility also available.

Matrisha Wong

Such a fun place to visit! We walked around aww some fish and even an eel. Had some icecream and enjoyed the sun

Will Stein

Lots of small fast food type restaurants. Some knick knack type shops. 30 minute walk from the Fairmont Hotel. Ok food. ? worth the trip unless you are looking for the eats.

anthony ball

Went to barbs fish & chips very nice not to busy

Chris Ruthven

As expected, a great place to kill some time and look at boats and stuff. It got busy at dinner time, but otherwise it was not to bad. Only 1 seal though..

John Wazlawik

Had lunch on the wharf at Barbs. Many place both at the wharf and downtown Victoria to eat, depending on how much time you have.

Antonia Matousekova

Fresh fish and nice place

Michelle Chow

Great little place to come and play during a visit to Fisherman’s Wharf.

London Renée Johnson

It's OK. Workers are constantly cleaning. Would be nice to have other places and more open places .

Mark S

This is a very adorable area, with the floating homes. Nice places to eat and a good place to catch a small boat taxi to other parts of Victoria.

tDoe bedo

Off-season but still not much there. It was a little disappointing.

Richard Hodge

Beautiful spot to enjoy lunch and scenery

JP Cebuana

Beautiful place with colourful boathouse A must see if you are in Victoria.

Terry Bodaly

Easy to walk to from the Inner Harbour. Follow the water. Barb's fish and chips were excellent. Pricing was great - 2 pcs $16 with fries and coleslaw. Small place but bright and colorful. Park across the street to eat in.

Anmy Ho

This cute little area is always fun to visit. The colorful houseboats are so photogenic and there are some good food options as well. It is best to go there in the morning as it starts to get really crowded after noon, especially when there are cruise ships in town. If you're heading back to downtown Victoria area afterwards, I recommend taking the water taxi back. It's a great ride, giving a wonderful view of the inner harbour.

Elizabeth Lum

Food taste great but prices are very high. Especially the chowder which was delicious. But really small amount for the price.

Kathy Otten

I ate at Barb's restaurant and it was very excellent! Very fresh!

Randy Gwilt

Fantastic! You didn't have to have the passport although you needed it to do anything else in Victoria.

Jody Cole

Fun place to explore and eat!

Malak Dwaidari

Very crowded in summer time

Stacy Mathieson

Not many shops, huge line up for a public washrooms. Mostly private residences.

Stan Smith

Marek Jarzabek

Hannah Heard

We just took a walk around! We were disappointed that we had already had lunch because the restaurants looked really yummy.

Fanny Lo

Lots of yummy eateries and washrooms. A wonderful view of the ocean

Romy Coombs

Great time. Long line up for ice cream, but worth it

G Reid

A great walkabout reading all the boat names

Paul Needelman

Went there for whaling tour and enjoyed walking around the wharf looking at the boats and floating homes. A numbers of restaurants serve decent food. We ate fish n chips at Barb's which hit the spot. Water taxis are available for tours. Pontoon planes take off from this location. Our tour went well. Dress in layers..hat , thin gloves as the winds is brisk on the open water when moving. Great experience !!

Ron Fitzgerald

A great place to eat.

philipp hawkins

Just a very cool and interesting place to see.

Lorraine Shepherd

My cousin-in-law ate oysters deep fried, me I passed. It was raining but I felt the floor moving to find it actually a floating boat. The colors were nice on the stores but too wet to actually shop. Pay for parking. I don't think it's fair, we visit the wharf in the rain, don't feel like shopping, if it rains parking should be free.

Dmitri Kogosov

The food is great!

Chris Shipway

Was great!! Food was fantastic!! Was very clean and staff were super quick to wipe tables.

Joanne K

Due to covid-19 access to the lovely houseboats was restricted. Great place for a waterfront dinner at a reasonable price

Mitch Washington

Cool place to walk around. Great food, beer, also a spot to have some wine. The little floating houses are cool to check out as well. The water taxi comes out of there too

Andrea Fernandez

Beautiful, colorful and delicious.

D'Arcy O'Byrne

M G

Love. Can't wait to go back again. Great place for families. Live music. Plenty to see and do. Great choices for food.

Irene Mclean

Love it here!!

Rick Harrison

A fun way to spend 3 or 4 hours when in Victoria. You can walk around and see the floating homes, have an ice cream cone, or a variety of food. You can catch a water taxi to other areas on the harbour. The co-ordinates to the parking lot for a GPS or map program are: 48.42225 N, 123.38258 W (Decimal), --or-- 48° 25' 20.1" N 123° 22' 57.29" W (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds )

Fabián Martínez

Is no very big but is nice to stop for diner or lunch, there is a couple of option to have a dessert. There are some floating houses there it's public washrooms and tables to sit down.

Nicholette Devenney

Gluten free fish and chips were amazing. YUM! A bit on the pricy side for a 2 piece meal though.... $26

Viktoriya Stuart

Great place for lunch. Very fresh seafood. Reasonable prices and wait time. A bit hard to find parking but lots of free street parking within walking distance.

Cecilia MacLean

Even on a cold day, a walk in this area is entertaining and invigorating.

Webster Cheong

Great place to wall, fish and chips are amazing and they sell fresh catch seafood as well

Beautiful spot by the water with a handful of restaurants with outdoor seating. Playground and dog park near by. Great little spot.

Risa Sorenson

Enjoyed the ambiance and fast food places, it was a bit crowded though!

Bob Long

Great place to eat reasonably-priced seafood on the water at Victoria Harbour. Busy, so come midday, midweek if possible.

Jaji Paji

It was a nice walk to get to the wharf...the boat houses are so colourful and pretty. You can book boat or kayak tours from here and there are some great restaurants as well. Would love to rent a boathouse next time we visit.

David Porfon

Nice has become very commercialized since last visited -- 15yrs ago

Paul M

Great Place to enjoy Fish n Chips and an ice cream after!

Ben Schmidt

We go here everytime. May be time to check out other parts of the city. The water taxi is cool.

nelson guzzo

It was pretty cool to see all the different houses that were floating on the water. Not many Of the shops were open. Only a couple of the fried food places which we did not feel like on this particular day. I will also say that the houses were pretty cool to look at. They all have their unique styles and most seem to have a little fun with work and I only imagine being visitors year round.

Giuliano Soncini

Very nice corner in Victoria, a must visit place once in town. Nice private floating homes visible from the outside. Several simple places to get some food and drinks, seals and otters in the water often visible from the piers.

wolfgang isken

Great for seafood..ice cream..fun atmosphere for all..

Sheryl Parkin

Fabulous sights, bustling area. Great icecream! A must see in Victoria.

My first time back in YEARS. Beautiful location, lots of great food kiosks with very diverse food offerings. A great place to spend an afternoon or evening.

Dario Fusco

It was rainy day but still a fun area to go see and eat fish and chips at.

Helen Martindale

Great place to relax with friends and have lunch after a walk . Love the tortilla soup from the Mexican place.

Frank Robinson

Wonderful place. Beautiful view of the city. Great treats and places to eat. Whale watching tours. Harbour taxis. Parking is poor...and 3 bucks an hour....but the time spent here is worth it.

Lordclaw

Great little area,just missing live music

Jennifer Hornberger

Nice place for a walk and lunch

krishna kumar

Must visit when you are in Victoria. Brightly painted buildings. There are private residences which is offlimit to tourist. We had lunch at Puerto Vallarta Amigos, superbly good. Took whale watching tour with Eagle Wing Tours..Highly recommend if you are interested. We were lucky to see 2 Humpback Whales breeching and 2 familes of Orcas, Steller Sea Lions and California Seals. The Captain (Jeff) and the guide (Mel) were so friendly and explained in detail. The tour lasted for 4 hours.

Patrick Turner

Love the ambiance, picked up fresh shrimp this time but its the halibut fish and chips with hand cut fries is our go to.

Tim Silveira

No campers, no needles, wonderful view. Great place to sit with a cup of coffee while the kids burn off their quarantine induced energy.

Rachel C

Several great food options. We went for smoke and anchor however they were closed so we had tacos from the Mexican restaurant. Prawn and fish tacos were our fav.

andrew lank

Pretty neat place to walk around, good food selection.

dave stephen

Floeting restaurants and a quaint decor. Great for eatong and relaxing pn the flaoting wharves

W.M. Stark

Love Fisherman's Wharf! Home to Barb's World Famous Fish and Chips!

Santino Marazzo

Great place to go for eats. It is situated in James Bay, Victoria. Many different kinds of food to choose from. Outdoor dining only.

Alec Kozloff

Unique setup to have a fresh local seafood.

Anita Frederickson

Beautiful day touring the city!

Marty Yatzko

"touristy", yes, but we loved it for its ambiance!

Steven Luft

Lively and colourful wharf in Victoria's harbor lined with multiple food outlets for almost any taste. Unfortunately parts of the outdoor boardwalk were closed due to Covid hysteria.

Mike Byers

Great walk never know what you will see

Jess

Super cute walk. Best time to go is on sunset to enjoy the beautiful view!

Becky

Really cute and good vibe area, seen a sea lions so that was fun. People actually live in those boat houses so you can't walk right by om the docks, you only have access to the restaurants and such at the front

Kajyu

An easy stroll beside the sea with various food stalls. Within walking distance from various hotels. There were stalls for whale watching, but they were closed when I visited in September. I'd recommend the fresh and fried oyster from The Fish Store. There is plenty of picnic tables for outdoor dining.

Kat R

Very nice place. We saw a seal swimming too. There’s also a washroom in the wharf. It seems like a lively place and it’s near the Breakwater District. There’s also a water fountain beside the whale watching stall.

Tahni Fortin

Neat little area and amazing fish and chips! We saw a seal and an otter as well!

jill mccord

Fish and chips were great.

Elizabeth Jones

Great place to watch the boats and great fish and chips .

Mark Ratclifffe

Really good fish and chips at Barbs place.

Sirach Lanquino

My dining experience today at this place was amazing - ambience food and beverages services people weather and of course affordability and efficient service. I enjoyed every blessing received. Thanks to all who work in this place. While healthy measures are carefully observed, the wharf is truly a soothing relaxing and satisfying place of date in Victoria.

Jose Lazaro

Has a variety of food in a nice little location. Wife and I had the Barb's fish & chips and can say that was one of the best we've ever had. It was so tender yet crispy so can see why they've been selling for a long time. Also tried the mini tacos at Puerto Vallarta Amigos and were quite disappointed. No flavor at all. The staff was amazing though and their live music was spectacular!

Roya Shahab

Cute place . Food was good a bit pricey. Fun atmosphere

Logan Saunders

It is a beautiful park in the Harbour. We got some excellent pictures as we walked along the path. Lots of food options if you get here early enough. I wish there was more lighting along this path at nightfall. I highly recommend this walk on your first night in Victoria as it is very close to the core spots of the Empress, Legislative building, and Museum.

Calcite Anna

Today the fisherman's wharf is quiet, maybe now is non peak season, most shops closed and even the famous fish and chips "Barb's" were closed today, so we went to tried "Fish Store" but fish n chips made us felt disappointed ????. Lucky, salmon chowder soup is tasty

Alexey Petrov

Nothing special, very overcrowded place, tons of tourists.

Jason Rollans

The food! The ambience! Great place to go for lunch or an evening stroll.

Allayne MacCara

Quaint and vibrant. Sweet place to visit. My son says they have the best gluten free fish and chips he has had.

Jan Vdbrande

Good place for a casual quick meal on the water !

Mark Wilson

Yes it is touristy, but we had a great time and we are delicious scallops and drank local cider in the warm sun.

Virginia Li

Nice place and good food.

GGCC78

Fun place to visit. Not sure about the claim to fame about the best fish and chips though.

Subrata Chakrabarti

This is very pleasant place to visit in Victoria. It is about 20 minutes walk from Quebec and Oswego, near the Parliament building. …

Rebecca Simms

Colorful and playful area that highlights some of the best Victoria sightseeing from a central point. Great food with plenty of options, exciting adventure vendors, and child and pet friendly.

Wendy Mcloughlin

We didn't eat there but plenty of places to eat . Fish and chips looked really good .

Jacquie Restall

Beautiful way to spend an afternoon. I will be back as often as I can. Great food and plenty of space to sit and relax. Loved it!

Ann Lowery

Barbs place! The best!

pachana hernandez

Delicious food at Puerto Vallarta sea restaurant

Sophia

Small park beside the floating wharf area with plenty of seating options (some red lounge chairs and plenty of lawn). Good place to grab a bite from the wharf takeout but get away from the crowds. There is also a well-equipped kid’s playground area.

Tara Herring

Awesome and the whale watching was freakin fantastic totally will do that again (used EagleWingTours)

K G

The food is great, but the wharf has lost all its appeal with no longer being able to walk around and view the beautiful floating homes. Used to be a staple for us to bring visitors, won't be anymore. Disappointing.
