Connect With Indigenous Cultures

Experience the art, culture, food, and natural wonder of Vancouver from an Indigenous perspective as a guest on the traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

Watch plumes of salt spray as the sun sets on the horizon. Listen to an orca mother and her calf exhaling in the dark near a fireside dock. Find yourself too close for comfort but just the right distance to witness something that feels like a primordial secret.

Discover some of the finest vineyards in Canada, and learn about the Indigenous peoples of this area, the NLaka’pamux, Syilx, and Secwepemc Nations, each with distinct cultures and traditions.

Leave Vancouver and follow the Fraser River east through Chilliwack to journey through BC history into prehistory. Search for the legendary white sturgeon, learning about the area’s rich Indigenous culture along the way.

Travel far away from everything you know. But not too far. Getting here is a beautiful, easy experience from present-day Vancouver. The drive from Vancouver to Lund includes two ferry rides and several short legs through seaside towns with an abundance of quaint pit stops and spectacular viewpoints.

Travel slow, stop often, and learn more on a trip that highlights Indigenous destinations on your way to and from the featured itinerary, a three-day sojourn at Big Bar Guest Ranch.
