British Columbia is the heart of the First Nations culture and traditions. The Nuu-chah-nulth have been fishing in these waters and hunting sea lions and whales for 10,000 years. Their legends, songs and art have not just survived but flourished over the years.

Tofino is a jewel on the west coast of the province, located in the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Join the locals surfing - an extremely popular sport here.

If you're thinking of a winter ski holiday, the 2010 Winter Olympic venues Vancouver and Whistler are full of elegant lodges tucked away in the mountains.

British Columbia is also a major wine-producing region. More than 200 wineries range from family-run vineyards to magnificent estates.

We are specialists on the unique side of Luxury British Columbia Holidays and will be delighted to help you plan your adventurous experience.
