About Canada: British Columbia
|
British Columbia is a spectacular Province lying on the west coast of Canada between the majestic Rocky Mountains and the shimmering waters of the Pacific Ocean. With a mild and pleasant climate throughout the year – it's a fantastic destination in every season. We now have flights to Vancouver 12 months of the year. Vancouver is a truly vibrant multi-cultural city. This is reflected in its hectic night-life, fantastic shopping opportunities, real café culture and great entertainment. You can also sample delicious cuisine from all around the globe. |

Warm summer afternoons can be spent lazing or in Stanley Park – an ancient cedar forest uniquely situated at the edge of downtown Vancouver – or going hiking along scenic trails. On chilly winter days it's great to go skiing on the nearby slopes of the picturesque Grouse Mountains.
Make your holiday the experience of a life-time by taking an incredible Alaskan cruise, or travelling on the legendary Rocky Mountaineer, both of which depart from Vancouver.
Whistler is rightly one of North America's favourite ski destinations, with its miles upon miles of pistes, fabulous scenery, and fantastic aprés ski but it's also a great location for a summer holiday. It's an outdoor lover's paradise, with an incredible range of activities.
Vancouver Island, the largest island off the west coast of Canada, is a special experience during every season. In summer enjoy hiking or swimming, and in winter skiing on the magnificent slopes of Mount Washington.
Victoria, the Provincial Capital is situated on the south shore of Vancouver Island, and has a stunning Inner Harbour where the best hotels and most famous landmarks are found. You can venture on a whale-watching trip, try kayaking or even scuba diving. If it's relaxation you are after: how about a leisurely round of golf, or maybe just basking on a pristine sandy beach.
Whatever you're after, British Columbia really has it all, in every season.
