Visit Canada's West

BRITISH COLUMBIA simply has it all! From the Pacific Coast to the Rocky Mountains it offers amazing outdoor activities, wildlife viewing experiences, an assortment of wilderness resorts, lodges and spas, and stunning landscapes begging to be explored!

Without doubt it is one of the world’s prime destinations for both whale-watching (Orca, Humpback and Gray Whales) and Grizzly Bear viewing from unique locations. The active and adventurous are spoilt for choice - camp in the wilderness, kayak for days amongst the myriad of islands off the Pacific Rim National Park, surf the rollers of Tofino or mountain bike in terrain that will push your skills to the limit.

Visit cosmopolitan Vancouver City for exciting nightlife, fabulous shopping, fine dining and a range of outdoor activities including thrilling floatplane trips to view the spectacular scenery from the air. Alternatively visit one of the Okanagan's fabulous vineyards and sip on a cool glass of wine in the afternoon sun, surrounded by rich rolling countryside and sparkling lakes.

ALBERTA is in the heart of the spectacular Canadian Rocky Mountains where the scenery is unrivalled, the warm welcome palpable and where outdoor activities abound.

Fun-filled days can be spent hiking, horseback riding, white-water rafting, heli-hiking or the new trend of heli-yoga, walking onto a Glacier for an Ice Age adventure or visiting a working ranch to experience true western hospitality!

Calgary, the gateway to the Rockies is home to the world famous Calgary Stampede which showcases world class rodeo. Edmonton in the North is known for its scenic river valley, thriving music and art community. It also has North America's largest shopping and entertainment complex, West Edmonton Mall where you can shop ‘til you drop!
