From the tranquil shores of Howe Sound to the alpine village of Whistler, we've wrapped the best of British Columbia into one amazing trip. In what the Canadians call "Sea-to-Sky Country," we hike and ride horseback through lush forests and above the clouds, raft rapids through sheer canyons, bike along cascading streams, and sea kayak among sea lions and whales. In fact, we discover why British Columbia is considered one of the most spectacular destinations in the world!
British Columbia Inn Highlights: Declared by National Geographic Adventure to be the "best place to stay in Squamish", The Howe Sound Inn and Brewing Company is a character-rich inn located in the town center. The secluded Swiss-style Chalet Luise Inn in Whistler offers colorful flower gardens, a fireside lounge, and both a sauna and jacuzzi.
