Overview
Take a trip to British Columbia on your Canada Vacation
The wild lands of British Columbia push one agenda, and that is to get you outside and moving. Mountains cover over 75% of the Western Canadian province, providing plenty of hiking and biking opportunities in summer from the peaks of the Rockies to the rainforests of Vancouver Island. In winter, the ski towns of Whistler, Revelstoke, Nelson, and Fernie provide endless alpine adventures covered in sparkling fresh powder, with charming local centres to boot.
Explore the cosmopolitan streets of Vancouver, where nature and urban culture live in harmony. Travel up the Sunshine Coast along the paradisiacal Georgia Strait, famous for its tranquil beaches, artsy seaside towns, and whale watching on both sides of the water. BC’s pleasant climate allows for perfect fruit-growing conditions, which you can discover in the vineyards and orchards of the plentiful Okanagan Valley. Local fruit sellers line the country roads towards Kelowna, making for an abundant drive through Canada’s sunniest pocket.
