Northern British Columbia covers a huge region of BC, making it great for exploring on self-guided driving tours. See wildlife and glaciers on the drive, or delve into the vast wilderness as part of a guided adventure tour.

Self-Guided Driving Tours

Discover the area's history while following driving routes such as the Gold Rush Trail or the Heritage Discovery Circle Route. Travel back to the time of dinosaurs along the Great Northern Circle Route. No trip to Northern British Columbia is complete without seeing some amazing wildlife along the Stewart-Cassiar Highway or the iconic Alaska Highway.

Guided Adventure Tours

Venture out on a guided ocean kayaking tour along Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands), which is known for its rainforests and First Nations history. To spot wildlife, join a whale watching trip from Prince Rupert, or look for grizzlies on a Khutzeymateen bear watching excursion. Learn about ecology on a forestry tour, and bounce along the northern BC rivers on a whitewater rafting trip.
