Solo Travel Package Victoria Canada: Visit Victoria for a top solo travel destination. Take advantage of British Columbia’s summer climate when the temperatures are soaring everywhere else.

Solo Travel Package Victoria Canada: History and Overview:

• Victoria is located on Vancouver Island. Hawaii or the Caribbean may be your first thought for an island vacation. However, Vancouver Island has repeatedly received awards as a top tourist venue. For solo travelers, this is a top destination with both multiple indoor and outdoor activities and not just an island for honeymooners.
• One advantage Victoria and the surrounding region has is its reputation for having Canada’s mildest weather.
• The Island has been inhabited for thousands of years before the English and Spanish discovered it.
• Two major groups living there at that time were the Coast Salish in the south and the Kwakwaka’wakw in the northern part of Vancouver Island.
• The Spanish led by Juan José Pérez Hernández were the initial European explorers arriving in 1775.
• They were followed by the first English explorer, Captain James Cook, in 1778.
• The major activity at that time was trading via the Hudson Bay Company.
• During the mid-19th-century, gold was discovered resulting in an influx of prospectors.
• In 1871, British Columbia became a province of Canada with Victoria as its capital.
• In the 20th and now 21st century, British Columbia has experienced dynamic growth and industry.
