British Columbia Holidays
Synonymous with dramatic landscapes, dazzling cities and flurries of wild animals, British Columbia is an adventure mecca.
Synonymous with dramatic landscapes, dazzling cities and flurries of wild animals, British Columbia is an adventure mecca that offers everything from remarkable self-drive journeys to whale-watching expeditions.
Visitors to Canada’s westernmost province will find themselves nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Canadian Rockies, in a place where bears are scattered throughout dense forests, indigenous communities like the Nuu-chah-nulth still thrive and sea planes are not an uncommon form of transportation. From joining an off-road 4×4 journey with black bear researchers to kayaking alongside orcas, there are few limits to the unique wildlife experiences of British Columbia.
Great Drives
