BC Adventure Travel: Explore the Wild Side of British Columbia, Canada

Discover British Columbia’s Top Tourism Activities, Adventures and Things to Do

Your Ultimate Guide to British Columbia Travel, Parks, Trails, Attractions, and Outdoor Adventures

Welcome to the Heart of BC Adventure Travel. If you're seeking unforgettable experiences in British Columbia, Canada, then BC Adventure Travel is your go-to guide. This west coast paradise is where rugged landscapes meet ocean breezes, where small towns and untamed wilderness offer endless opportunities for exploration. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a month-long journey, our BC Adventure Travel website is built to connect you to the province’s best accommodations, attractions, parks, tours, and trails.

British Columbia: Canada’s Wilderness Playground

British Columbia is Canada’s most western province, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. Over 50% of BC’s vast terrain is untouched by human development, providing a pristine playground for BC adventure travel enthusiasts. From the coastal fjords and alpine peaks to ancient forests and island archipelagos, this province is brimming with natural wonders. Furthermore, many parts of British Columbia have been recognized for their ecological significance. The Spirit Bear, the white-coated Kermode bear, is found only here. Additionally, BC is part of the Pacific Flyway—an aerial highway for millions of migrating birds. These unique characteristics are what make BC adventure travel a world-renowned experience.

Capital City Adventures in Victoria, British Columbia

Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Often called the “City of Gardens,” it offers a rich blend of natural beauty and colonial charm. Notably, Victoria is also the Cycling Capital of Canada, making it a hub for eco-conscious travel and urban adventures. Because of its mild coastal climate, Victoria is a year-round destination. Its harbour tours, heritage architecture, and vibrant cultural scene provide a more relaxed yet still adventurous side of BC adventure travel.

Activities and Things to Do in BC’s Parks and Trails

Not surprisingly, British Columbia boasts Canada’s second-largest parks system. With over 1,000 parks and protected areas, outdoor lovers will never run out of trails, viewpoints, and campgrounds. Some must-visit sites include:

- Della Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park (Canada’s tallest waterfall)

- Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary (Canada’s only grizzly reserve)

- Fraser River (the longest river in British Columbia at 1,400 km)

- Pacific Crest Trailhead (start your journey northward from Manning Park)

Many of these trails and parks are remote, and much of the information about them is still passed by word of mouth or through explorers like yourself. Therefore, your adventure in BC can be as off-the-grid or as guided as you wish.

Wild Highlights and Unusual Finds in British Columbia

Equally impressive are the quirky and surprising attractions scattered across British Columbia. Interestingly, BC is also a major producer of cranberries and blueberries—ranked top 3 in the world. And for history buffs, the last spike of Canada’s railway was driven in Craigellachie, BC. Meanwhile, wine lovers can explore over 870 vineyards dotting the province’s interior. These unique features make BC adventure travel both diverse and delicious.

    The capelin rolling in Newfoundland and Labrador is an event that always sparks a lot of excitment. These small silvery fish arrive in abundance in June or July bringing with them a host of seabirds, whales and other marine life that follow the capelin as a food source. The arrival of the capelin feels like the kick-off to summer and many beaches around the province provide spawning grounds for these little fish. In Newfoundland and Labrador, word spreads like wildfire when 'the capelin are rolling'. People flock in droves to beaches to try and catch sight of or to actually catch some of these wriggly fish. They are a traditional food source and I remember as a child my parents also using them to fertilize our lawn. According to the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador, there are over 30 different coves across the province with capelin in their name, demonstrating the importance of this fish to the culture of Newfoundland.On a kayak trip out of Chance Cove, Trinity Bay on Canada Day, I was lucky enough to witness schools of capelin darting this way and that underneath my boat. They move as a shimmering mass and it is mesmerizing to watch. The weather conditions that day meant I was able to paddle in close to shore to have an excellent view of the capelin in the shallow, clear water. I could see the females washing up on the beach to lay their eggs in gravel that had already been fertilized by the males. We are fortuante to witness this annual spectacle in Newfoundland and being in a kayak provided a really interesting and not commonly seen perspective on the capelin roll.

    I am proudly Canadian for several heartfelt reasons:

    Born and bred on Vancouver Island, BC — I grew up on Canada’s west coast, with a deep, lifelong connection to its landscapes and culture.

    A champion of Canadian tourism, I left a corporate job in Edmonton (and a stint in Germany) in 2002 to help build EH Canada Travel with my brother. I spent over a decade traveling coast-to-coast, researching, writing, photographing, and supporting local Canadian communities.

    Environmental and outdoor advocate—I am a wilderness backpacker, camping lover, snowboarding, golf, photography enthusiast, and regular voice on CBC and Global and other media talking up Canada’s great outdoors.

    Deep commitment to “boots‑on‑the‑ground” research—Colin and I visited 1200+ communities, explored thousands of parks and trails, and created Canada’s largest independent travel site out of sheer passion and perseverance.

    In short: I am proudly Canadian because I was born here, built my career here, championed Canadian tourism tirelessly, explored coast-coast-coast and I live and breathe Canada’s wild spirit every single day.

    Happy Canada Day!
