BC is an amazing place to explore—by land, air, or water.
With hundreds of hiking trails, mountains, and lakes to discover, this province is an adventurers dream—though there are a few places that even the hardiest of snowshoes, hiking boots, or rock climbing shoes can’t get you to, and when water is the only way to go, kayaking is your best bet.

All those hard to reach paradises scattered along BC’s extensive coastlines and rivers are just waiting to be docked at, and you may even find yourself a view that you’ve never laid eyes on before.
Remember that safety comes first and to always wear a lifejacket.
Grab a paddle, rent a kayak, and get out on the water—before we’ve completely run out of these beautiful summer days.
