British Columbia
British Columbia is a land renowned for its remarkable diversity, giving rise to an endless array of places to see and things to do across the province. The challenge in British Columbia is not what to do, but how to do it all. The adventure is spread over all of the region and Canada As You Like It has a wealth of exciting activities and unique experiences to chose from.
Northern British Columbia -
This vast wilderness comprises more than half of the province and its jagged mountain peaks, roaring rivers and rugged coastline are perfect for canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting and hiking. The area includes a system of national and provincial parks which provide habitat for wildlife such as grizzly bears. You won't want to miss the Queen Charlotte Islands, an untamed land rich in Haida culture (aboriginal people) and with distinct flora and fauna which has evolved over thousands of years.
Cariboo Chilcotin Coast -
Thousands of lakes, rivers and the magnificent stretch of the Pacific Ocean make the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast the ultimate region for canoeing and kayaking. The Bowron Lakes Provincial Park provides an excellent canoe circuit which attracts canoeists of any ability.
Vancouver Island, Victoria and the Gulf Islands -
The Vancouver Island, Victoria and the Gulf Islands region is a large, sparsely populated area and is home to one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems including rainforests, marshes, beaches, mountains, oceans, rivers and lakes, ideal for bear viewing, whale watching and fishing.
