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.

    Raising Stars Summer Adventure Program spent the day exploring Sovereign Park and Beach — a hidden, tucked-away shoreline far from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist season. This peaceful beach offered the perfect setting for a calm and engaging day of outdoor discovery. Our young adventurers explored gentle walking trails surrounded by nature, shaded picnic tables, a large open field, and convenient public washrooms. Along the way, we encountered incredible wildlife — including a deer and several Canadian geese — igniting curiosity and wonder in the children. At Raising Stars, safety is always our highest priority. During water play, children are only allowed in shallow areas, with water reaching approximately waist height. A teacher is always within arm’s reach to ensure active supervision and support. While the water may appear deeper in photos or videos due to floating or swimming movement, strict safety measures are followed. If families provide life jackets, they are used during water activities. We maintain a low 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio to ensure every child is carefully monitored and supported throughout the day. The Raising Stars Summer Adventure Program blends Reggio-inspired, play-based learning with meaningful outdoor experiences. Sovereign Park and Beach offered a perfect natural classroom where children could explore, imagine, and make lasting summer memories.

    Experience the breathtaking wonder of the Brockville Tallships Festival, a premier maritime event held along the stunning St. Lawrence in Ontario, Canada. Every 3 years, the port of Brockville transforms into a bustling hub of nautical tradition, where historic tallships arrive in full sail to kick off the festivities.

    First, explore the decks of legendary vessels and connect with sailors who bring centuries-old seafaring stories to life. Next, immerse yourself in maritime history through engaging exhibits, hands-on displays, and authentic artifacts. These displays are presented by knowledgeable historians and volunteers who are passionate about Canada’s nautical past.

    Meanwhile, Hardy and Centennial Park come alive with excitement for families. Pirates Village, face painting, petting zoos, and themed games await children of all ages. Additionally, Navy and Coastguard ships docked along the river wall can be toured throughout the day.

    Importantly, admission to this incredible event is only 15 dollars, making it accessible for everyone. The scenic backdrop of St. Lawrence Ontario Canada only adds to the awe of the festival.

    Ultimately, this historic gathering offers more than a celebration — it’s an experience that connects the past and present through the magic of tallships.

    One of the world’s largest online travel agencies (OTAs), known for selling tours and experiences, has just increased the commission it takes from Canadian and global tour operators—by anywhere from 2% to 7%.

    On average, their commission has jumped from 25% to over 30%!
    That means for every $100 a local tour earns, this OTA now keeps more than $30. That means 30% of every booking made removes 30% from the local economy. Add the triple effect of tourism dollars, that $30 translates to $90 removed from local economies.

    And who ends up paying the price? Not the OTA. Not Google or Meta, where the money is often spent on ads.

    It’s our Canadian travelers, towns and cities who pay a big price.
    Small, local tourism businesses can’t absorb those rising costs. So, just as the summer season kicks off, they’re being forced to raise prices—and you pay more for the exact same experience.

    All so large corporations can satisfy shareholders and increase their bottom line.
    Where does it stop? 40%? 50%? 60%? And we, as travellers, are unknowingly supporting this.

    It’s time to rethink how we book our adventures in Canada and beyond. Let’s take back control. Book direct when possible. When you book directly with tour operators:
    - You often get better prices.
    - You support local businesses more directly.
    - Your money stays in the community, not in Silicon Valley.

    That’s why EHCanadaTravel.com is a book direct website, with a planning element to extend stays. It is the largest privately operated travel website in Canada. Our platform features Canadian tourism businesses and our listings take you straight to the tour operator’s website—no middlemen, no commissions.

    Operators can upload their own videos, photos, specials, events and showcase their experiences directly to travellers—transparent, fair, and local-first.
    Together, we can build a better system that keeps prices affordable, supports small business, and gives travellers real value.

    Book smarter. Book direct. Support local.

    Thank you to my colleague, Martin Rosenberg, for bringing this to my attention.
