Things to do in Sidney
Hello BC
Its idyllic setting on the Salish Sea, sheltered waters, myriad islands and varied landscape all contribute to Sidney's role as hub for outdoor adventure.
Diving, fishing, ocean kayaking, whale watching and eco-tours bring pleasures of the sea. The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Butchart Gardens, Butterfly Gardens, golf, hiking, biking, shopping in "Booktown," and visiting Saanich Peninsula wineries keep landlubbers busy, busy, busy.
