My family and I went to Alaska on Explorer in 2018 and when in Victoria, my family went to Butchart Gardens and then shopping. I went to The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa and played golf. It was a $55 CAD (~$40 USD) cab ride to the hotel - about 30 mins. With the exchange rate, I would HIGHLY recommend this if you golf. We have three sons and none of them appreciated Butchart Gardens and they all wished they came with me. I can give you more details if you're a golfer. But even if one is an occasional golfer, the views from the golf course of Victoria (including where the cruise ships are docked) were amazing. And the golf course itself (I played the Mountain Course) was a fun track.
