More About British Columbia

From the stunningly beautiful Rocky Mountains to the tranquil wilderness of Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC) has something for everyone. BC is Canada‘s westernmost province and it's bursting with lush forests, stunning lakes, incredible wildlife and, of course, the incredible 'Rockies'.Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America and skiers flock to it year after year. The Blackcomb area has a good selection of shops and excellent restaurants with visitors enjoying the hustle and bustle of the resort as well as a laid-back and friendly welcome. British Columbia has a wide choice of other activities including watersports, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife watching, zip lining, mountain climbing and river rafting. BC is home to half of the world's bear population so it's a wonderful place for a unique holiday experience - you can book a bear-watching cruise or tour and see these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. It's certainly an experience you'll never forget! Head over to Vancouver Island which has a flourishing arts scene and is home to the Royal BC Museum which is chock-full of fascinating exhibits and historical displays which will fascinate the whole family. To see more of Vancouver Island, there are plenty of guided tours you can take plus hop-on-hop-off sightseeing buses. If you don't want to limit yourself to just one amazing location, you can book a multi-centre holiday instead - maybe Vancouver, Banff and Calgary or Vancouver, Victoria, Tofino and Seattle or a journey on the famous Rocky Mountaineer train.
