Leisure Activities

Rocky Mountains

The Rocky Mountains stretch for 3000 miles from British Columbia to New Mexico in the USA. There are various ways to discover this spectacular range, including hiring a bicycle and organised hikes or you can take a trip on the Canadian Rocky Mountaineer Railway.

Vancouver Island

Separated from the mainland by the Strait of Georgia, Vancouver Island is known for its flourishing arts community and mild climate. It also has large areas of protected unspoilt wilderness, making it the perfect destination for such activities as bird watching, whale watching and fishing. There are many organised wildlife excursions which can be taken with experienced guides to direct you.

Pacific Rim National Reserve

The ideal place to visit if you’re looking for a sense of adventure. Try your hand at surfing, hiking, or kayaking in this stunningly beautiful park of Canada. Take the chance to hike the 75 km West Coast Trail, described as “the hike of a lifetime” - you will pass through wide expansive beaches and cross magnificent suspension bridges which traverse over streams and rivers.

British Columbia has a wide choice of other activities including watersports, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife watching, zip lining, mountain climbing and river rafting.
