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.

    Experience Corner Brook, Newfoundland, from a completely unique perspective - the water! ?

    Join us as we sail down the Humber Arm aboard Holland America's Volendam, capturing views of the coastline and surrounding landscapes that you simply can’t see from land.

    From the calm, reflective waters to the rugged cliffs and forested shores, this journey showcases the natural beauty of Western Newfoundland like never before. Whether you’re a cruise enthusiast, a travel lover, or just looking for some stunning Canadian scenery, this video brings the magic of Newfoundland sailing right to your screen. 

    We even got to watch the pilot boat come alongside our ship! The pilot then boarded and expertly guided us safely into port. ⚓

    Once we were anchored, we hopped on a tender boat to the port and spent some time exploring the cute little town of Corner Brook.

    These are the kinds of views that make sailing in Canada unforgettable — peaceful, scenic, and full of maritime charm.

    Stay tuned for thrilling close-up views of the coastline & Humber River. We spot a Bald Eagle and the Old Man in the Mountain!

    Ontario Crown Land At Monarch Point Conservation Reserve

    Ontario • Conservation Reserve • Crown Land • Lake Ontario

    Point Petre Part of Monarch Point Conservation Reserve is one of Ontario’s most meaningful natural spaces, newly protected to preserve its rare shoreline beauty and ecological value. After a full environmental assessment and evaluation were completed—and after listening carefully to feedback from Ontarians—the 3,971-acre (1,607 ha) area once known as the Ostrander Crown Land Block and the Point Petre Provincial Wildlife Area was officially regulated as a Conservation Reserve under the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006.

    Moreover, this new designation strengthens long-term protection for wildlife, habitats, and the unique ecosystems surrounding Lake Ontario. As a result, the Monarch Point Conservation Reserve is now recognized as a vital sanctuary where natural heritage will be safeguarded for future generations. While conservation reserves usually experience lower visitor traffic than provincial parks, respectful public access is still permitted.

    Furthermore, Monarch Point offers exceptional outdoor opportunities. Hiking, birdwatching, and responsible hunting can be enjoyed across this diverse landscape. In addition, visitors are encouraged to explore its rugged shoreline, rare alvar formations, and peaceful Crown Land forests.

    Above all, anyone visiting should treat this Conservation Reserve with great care. Sensitive plants, wildlife, and shoreline features must be protected by staying on durable surfaces and packing out all waste.

    Watch Video To Learn More to help protect Point Petre and celebrate one of Ontario’s most extraordinary natural reserves.
