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.

Plan Your Adventure Travel in British Columbia, Canada

For those searching for real, raw, and rugged adventures, BC adventure travel delivers on all fronts. From whale watching on the coast to heli-skiing in the backcountry, the options are as vast as the landscape. Not to mention, a majority of these experiences are designed to bring you closer to nature and local communities. Surprisingly, many of the best experiences in British Columbia are still undiscovered by mass tourism. As a result, travellers are rewarded with more authentic and less crowded experiences. This is your chance to explore BC, Canada, before everyone else does.

    Nature Walk on Whitefish Island - Nature, Rapids & Wildlife in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario

    Join us on a peaceful summer walk through the beautiful trails of Whitefish Island in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.


    This video captures the natural beauty of this unique island, located right in the heart of the St. Marys River - directly across from the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site. The trail system here is easy to walk, well-maintained, and rich with natural and cultural history.


    We started our walk at the boardwalk that runs alongside the St. Marys River, offering stunning views of the fast-flowing water. As we followed the trail, we were surrounded by lush greenery, wildflowers, and the peaceful sounds of nature. Interpretive signs along the way provide insight into the Indigenous heritage of the area, especially the Batchewana First Nation, who continue to steward this land.


    Whitefish Island is a designated National Historic Site and a fantastic spot for wildlife viewing - from herons and ducks to the occasional bald eagle. It's also a great place to spot fish in the river or sit and take in the view.


    Whether you're a local or visiting the Soo, this is an accessible and rewarding place for a quiet hike, photography, or simply reconnecting with nature.


    Location: Whitefish Island, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
    Trail Type: Flat, easy loop with boardwalks and gravel paths
    Highlights: River views, Indigenous history, wildlife, birding, peaceful scenery

    • I didn't know they had locks in Sault Ste. Marie, and they are much bigger than ours.

    • Thomas, check out my other video of the Soo Locks tour boat going through the Canadian Locks. Cool process!

      There are 2 sets of Locks in The Sault -Thomas, check out my other video of the Soo Locks tour boat going through the Canadian Locks. Cool process!

      There are 2 sets of Locks in The Sault - on both sides of the river / border:

      -> Ontario Side — Sault Ste. Marie Canal / Canadian Recreational Lock

      This is on the Canadian (Ontario) side, part of Parks Canada as a National Historic Site.

      The original canal and locking system opened in 1895. At that time, it was large and served commercial shipping.
      A major crack in the wall forced the commercial lock to close in 1987.

      In 1998 a smaller “recreational lock” was built within the old chamber. This is used by pleasure boats, tour boats, smaller craft—not by large freighters.

      -> Michigan Side — The Soo Locks (U.S.)

      These locks are located on the U.S. side of the St. Marys River, in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan - operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

      Their job is to enable large commercial and shipping vessels to bypass the rapids in the river and move between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes (primarily Lake Huron) despite the ~21 foot (≈ 6.4 m) drop in water level.

      There are multiple locks: Poe, MacArthur, Davis, Sabin, etc. Of these, Poe (rebuilt in 1968) is the largest, capable of handling the biggest freighters.

      These locks are in continuous operation during shipping season (i.e. not totally year‑round — winter closures for maintenance etc.).

  • Definately. It is worth it, just give yourself two days in case you miss the kayak on the first day.
