Tours in British Columbnia and the Yukon
In the vastness of British Columbia and the Yukon the possibilities for adventure tours are almost overwhelming. Small group hotel and camping tours make it fun.
Blessed with breathtaking landscapes, British Columbia is home to a geographical diversity that lends itself to a huge array of activities and adventures. There are mountains to climb, rivers to run, beaches to comb, forests to hike, parks to stroll and warm summer lakes to laze about.
The province generally enjoys a temperate climate but where there are mountains, there is snow. BC is renowned for the steep slopes and deep powder snow of its world-class ski terrain.
Northern BC’s vast wilderness comprises more than half the province – approximately 500,000 sqkm (193,051 sqmi). It is larger than California or Japan and twice the size of the United Kingdom and a population of about 5 million. Northern British Columbia is a land of unlimited adventure that extends 1,000 km (621 mi) from east to west, following the legendary Yellowhead Highway. It is filled with jagged mountain peaks, roaring rivers, serene lakes, green valleys, rugged coast lines and ancient island archipelagos.
We already selected the most outstanding sights and destinations for our small group tours in northern BC and in the Yukon Territories. Our camping tour into northern Canada starts in Calgary with a week of some of the best hikes in the Rocky Mountains of Banff and Jasper, then a flight to Whitehorse and two weeks of adventures in the Yukon and Alaska. For the round trip with hotels we start in Vancouver and leisurely cross BC into for a few days of fun and sightseeing in the Rockies. Now we head northwest through the mountains of the BC interior all the way to the northern coast. The cruise with BC Ferries takes us to Vancouver Island and we finally end the round trip adventure tour back in Vancouver
