Those cute little harbour ferries



You can't miss Victoria's harbour ferries. They ply the Inner Harbour constantly during the warmer months, and they are both practical transportation and tourist attraction.
The ferries stop at Fisherman's Wharf, near the Inner Harbour tourist centre and the West Bay Marina. In another post, I've already recommended taking a ferry to the marina and walking back via the Westsong Walkway.
If you only ride the harbour ferry once, I'd recommend taking the Gorge tour. Catch a ferry at Fisherman's Wharf or the Inner Harbour, then cruise up the Gorge Waterway and back. You'll get a look at parts of Victoria you would not otherwise see, and you can rely on the ferry skippers to give an informative spiel along the way.
On Sunday mornings in the summer, the harbour ferries do a water ballet performance to the Blue Danube Waltz. Yes, seriously. You've got to see it.
