British Columbia

Few places on Earth can rival the breathtaking beauty and diverse landscapes of British Columbia. From emerald forests that cascade down rugged mountain slopes, to sparkling coastlines, mist-shrouded fjords, and ancient rainforests on secluded islands, British Columbia offers every traveler a blend of serene landscapes and exhilarating adventures. Touch down in Vancouver or Victoria, two vibrant cities surrounded by majestic mountains and ocean, where you'll find lush gardens, stunning waterfront views and world-class attractions.

All year round, British Columbia offers endless outdoor activities. Carve through the powdery slopes of Whistler's ski resorts in winter, hike the dramatic coastline of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, or kayak on the tranquil waters of the Gulf Islands in summer. And don't miss the chance to go whale watching off the coast, where you might encounter orcas, humpback whales, and other marine animals in their natural habitat.
