EXPERIENCE
BRITISH COLUMBIA
From mighty mountains and glaciers, to rugged rainforests and coastlines, British Columbia
is a natural utopia that bursts with wilderness waiting to be explored. Here are some of our
favourite attractions and places to visit:
WHALE WATCHING
Discover whales in a completely
different light, with a spectacular sunset
evening cruise from Victoria on
Vancouver Island. One of the best ways
to view these incredible giants, as the
evening departures mean less boats
and crowds and guaranteed whale
sightings – creating a truly unique
atmosphere, experience watching the
whales breaching as the sun sets over
the horizon. A truly unforgettable
experience.
CAPILANO SUSPENSION BRIDGE
Walk along the cedar scented rainforest
air and towering evergreens at Capilano
Suspension Bridge Park. One of the most
popular tourist attractions just outside
Vancouver, it offers seven different
suspended footbridges with breathtaking
views 110 feet above the forest floor. Try
the Cliffwalk – a granite precipice along
the Capilano River with a labyrinth-like
series of narrow bridges and platforms
with only 16 anchor points supporting the
structure – not for the faint hearted.

Coast Trail.

parks, Glacier, is a year-round paradise,
with exceptional alpine scenery and
deep valleys filled with ancient forests

old-growth cedars or hike through alpine
meadows strewn with lichen-covered
boulders. Take some time to learn about
