British Columbia travel, tours and Vacation packages

A short guide about British Columbia

From snowy Rocky Mountain slopes to sunny beaches in downtown Vancouver, Canada's southwest coast offers an unparalleled tourist destination. Whatever excitement you crave, you'll find it in British Columbia. Shouldering the Pacific Ocean on the western coast of Canada, British Columbia (BC) is perhaps the country's most culturally and topographically diverse province. Its ethnic depth and scenic beauty are simply astounding. Not only does the province have one of the country's highest rates of foreign immigration (and wonderful communities and traditions that accompany this), but it's also home to countless waterways, mountains, farmlands, forests and cities.

In one trip to the province, a visitor can fish for salmon off the sun-bleached shores near Victoria, lounge in one of Vancouver's 5-star hotels, ski or snowboard the slopes of Whistler Resort in the Coastal Mountains and tour the world-class vineyards in the Okanagan Valley. If Canadian culture interests you, then travel through southern British Columbia’s beautiful little towns, to experience some culturally unique parts of Canada. Towns like Nelson are full of heritage buildings and friendly local population.

Tourabout has vacation packages exploring British Columbia ranging from Self Drive Tours to sitting back and taking in the scenery from the Rocky Mountaineer Train; a classic rail journey from the Pacific Coast to the Canadian Rockies. Moderate adventure activities for families can include canoeing, walking, hiking, river rafting, river float, horse riding and even river kayaking for beginners. But the most fun can be had if you journey through the Icefields Parkway and take a thrilling ride aboard a snowcoach on the Columbia Icefield. Enjoy sightseeing in Banff National Park and Yoho National Park, as well as a visit Fort Calgary is a must.
