Perhaps BC’s most photogenic waterfall, you have to see Helmcken Falls and the dozens of other waterfalls inside Wells Grey Provincial Park. It’s at least a five-hour drive to get to Clearwater, BC, so put this spot on your bucket list.

4. Toba Inlet Waterfalls

The Klahoose First Nation can take you on a tour to see the supernaturally stunning waterfalls of Yekwamen or Toba Inlet. To see falls cascading into the inlet like this feels like you’re inside a magical land.

5. Moul Falls

Also in Wells Grey Park, you have to hike down for a good view of this sunken waterfall. It’s worth the trek. There are at least 41 other waterfalls in the park to find, too.

Hidden on Sombrio Beach, this Vancouver Island waterfall is tucked inside a cave. There are no marked trails or signs, but you can find it by walking the shoreline until you find a creek, following it upwards towards the falls.

7. Shannon Falls

This popular park off of the Sea to Sky Highway is home to the soaring Shannon Falls. It’s close enough to Vancouver to see in an afternoon, so it’s perfect to bring out-of-town guests to see.
