Inside Passage Ferry
Cruise through BC’s famed Inside Passage along the northwest coast. On the 15-hour ferry journey between Port Hardy and Prince Rupert, enjoy spectacular scenery – misty fjords, tiny islands, and vast stretches of uninhabited shorelines – and take to the deck to watch for Orcas and porpoises in the channel.
Hot Springs
Slip into hot springs pools with spectacular natural settings for instant relaxation. Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park and Hot Spring Island are two soaking highlights.

RV Adventure
The romance of the open road is a draw for many couples, and the Alaska Highway is one of BC’s best road trips. Discover small towns, friendly locals, and wildlife watching from the comfort of an RV.
Waterfalls
Looking for a heart-pounding picnic setting? Nothing beats a cascading waterfall. There’s no need to disappear into the woods for days to find a waterfall in Northern BC (though that’s possible, too). Many falls, such as Quality Falls near Tumbler Ridge, are easy to access from towns.
Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands)
Honeymoons, proposals and romantic holidays have all taken place on Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands). Explore these remote and mythical islands by kayaking along unspoiled shorelines or strolling 100km/62mi of beach at Naikoon Provincial Park.
Canoe Trips
Paddle one of Northern BC's canoe circuits to enjoy long summer days and night skies blanketed in stars. Between the soft sound of paddles dipping into the water and good conversation, watch for wildlife like moose, deer, wolves or otters.
Northern Lights
Stay at a remote wilderness lodge along the Alaska Highway and keep an eye on the sky for ribbons of blue and green Northern Lights. Though it’s never possible to guarantee an Aurora appearance, late fall is the best time for spotting this phenomenon. The open skies and zero light pollution make star gazing here incredible.
Wilderness Lodges
Unplug from everyday routines at a wilderness lodge in Northern BC. Accommodations range from quiet lakeside to deluxe fly-in lodges. Keep busy with fishing, spa treatments, heli-skiing, hiking, horseback riding, or just relax in front of a crackling fireplace.
Bear-watching Tours
Share an intense experience on a bear-watching tour. Search for the mythical-sounding (but very real) all-white Kermode (Spirit) bear, or glide quietly through the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Sanctuary to look for giant mother bears with cubs.
