There are hundreds of things to do if you choose to explore the nooks and crannies of beautiful British Columbia. Of course, you could also just admire the sights from your deck, drink in hand, appreciating the hard work that got you here.

Check out some of the top activities we recommend while staying with us here:

Fishing Charters
