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.

Might be overstating it a little I thought learning to identify Canada’s 64+ species of seabirds was a hard, but it turns out that learning to recognize the 30-35 species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises that can be seen along Canada’s three oceans is even more challenging! These animals spend more than 95% of their time under water, often giving us only fleeting glimpses of a dorsal fin, tail, or blow. So excited to keep learning and put these new skills to the test!  More ...

    Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, is one of those cruise ports that instantly makes you slow down and soak it all in. Compact, walkable, and full of character, it’s an ideal stop on an Atlantic Canada cruise and an easy place to explore without feeling rushed.


    Our day in Charlottetown began at Founders’ Food Hall & Market, a great first stop for getting a taste of PEI’s local food scene. From there, we walked to St. Dunstan’s Basilica, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Its twin spires dominate the skyline, and stepping inside offers a quiet moment to appreciate the craftsmanship and history that make this church such a focal point of Charlottetown.


    We continued to Beaconsfield Historic House, a beautifully preserved reminder of the city’s Victorian past, before enjoying a leisurely walk along the Charlottetown Boardwalk. With harbour views, sea air, and that relaxed island pace, this part of the city really captures the charm that Prince Edward Island is known for.


    No visit to Charlottetown would be complete without sampling the local food. We stopped at John Brown Richmond Street Grille for classic lobster rolls, then wrapped up the day with a visit to Cows Ice Cream at Peakes Quay - a PEI favourite and a must-visit spot!


    Whether you’re visiting Charlottetown as part of an Atlantic Canada cruise itinerary or planning a Prince Edward Island getaway, this small capital city delivers big on history, flavour, and coastal charm - all within easy walking distance of the port.
