British Columbia Holidays

British Columbia is an impressive province that stretches from the picturesque Pacific Ocean to the mountains of the Canadian Rockies and north to the Yukon and Alaska. With some of the finest, and most accessible, scenery in Canada, British Columbia is best explored by road and numerous wilderness areas and state parks can easily be reached from cosmopolitan and urbane Vancouver. This welcoming city has it all – great food, lovely parks, excellent shopping and world-class museums and galleries. From here it is also a short journey to the winter sports capital of Whistler and neighbouring Vancouver Island and its history and unrivalled marine life. The interior of British Columbia, with its vast mountain ranges, dense evergreen forests and pristine turquoise lakes offers breathtaking scenery at every turn and there are few better ways to experience this than on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train. For outdoor enthusiasts there is excellent hiking and abundant wildlife whilst, for the less intrepid, the pretty Okanagan valley is renowned for its vineyards.
