Visit in mid September
After USA Labor Day, do the crowds lessen , the ferry service easier to access and most importantly the lodging options become more affordable … or does that not really happen until October?
I’m beginning to plan a trip in a month. I’m thinking that waiting until October would probably increase the chance of weather impacts. So mid-September is the choice for now.
Oh and we are trying to avoid the bigger cities and see the nature and small town attractions. (Already been to Victoria and Butchart)
