Touring in the belly of a hippo

Unique Victoria bus company offers tours from land and sea
Hippo Bus BOTC
A Victoria Hippo Tours bus enters the water at the James Bay Anglers Association ramp near Ogden Point. The company’s three converted school buses offers passengers a view from land and sea.

“Go, hippo, go!” an enthusiastic busload of passengers yells in unison. And with that, the bus drives down a ramp at Ogden Point and splashes into the Pacific Ocean.

Fear not – it’s no suicide mission; it’s a tourist attraction that provides a unique, one-of-a-kind tour of Victoria from both land and sea.

Victoria Hippo Tours is in its first season offering sightseeing tours in and around downtown Victoria.
