LET'S PLAN YOUR TRIP TO

West Coast Canada

The West Coast is the name given to the western most area of Canada that stretches from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes the province of British Columbia. British Columbia is a land of spectacular beauty that encapsulates the sheer peaks of the Rockies that line the entire eastern border, the lakes of the interior, the stunning city of Vancouver with the back drop of the coastal mountain range and Pacific Ocean, the abundant wildlife and the fascinating historic city of Victoria, on Vancouver Island. In addition to the astounding beauty of the province visitors can immerse themselves in first nations cultures, engage in adventurous activities and more.

Discover West Coast Canada tour packages with Vancouver sightseeing, Victoria city tours, Vancouver Island bear watching, Great Bear Rainforest trips & Okanagan wine tours.

Know Before You Go

Climate in British Columbia is influenced by latitude, mountainous topography and the Pacific Ocean. This diversity causes wide variations in average rainfall, snowfall, temperature and hours of sunshine, sometimes over very short distances. In general, however, temperatures are warmer in the south than in the north, and rainfall is heaviest along the coast and lightest in the southern interior. BC is a large province, and therefore has a number of different climatic zones.

Winters on the coast are temperate, and if snow falls it doesn't stay long. A warm coat and umbrella are sufficient weather protection in these mild coastal climes. Most of BC's interior, on the other hand, experiences freezing temperatures and snow lasting from November to March, so full winter wear is necessary for comfort: a heavy coat, a warm hat and gloves or mittens.

Spring and fall can often be very warm and pleasant, especially in June and September. Daytime temperatures - particularly in southwestern BC and the southern interior - allow for dresses, shorts and short-sleeved shirts; however, it is advisable to have sweaters, trousers and a light coat or jacket on hand as well.

Summers are hottest in BC's interior, particularly in the south where temperatures frequently surpass 30°C/86°F. Nearer the coast, temperatures range from 22 to 28°C/72 to 83°F. Recommended clothing for both regions in summer is the same: shorts, short-sleeved shirts and light dresses in daytime and sweaters and trousers in the evenings.

Just a quick note to thank you for planning my trip to Saskatchewan. I enjoyed my stay there, beautiful province. The hotel locations were perfect, made going around easy :-)

Norma W

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Vasil. He is incredibly patient with my changes and put together the most amazing itinerary.

J Revesz

We had a really great time! The group of 8 was the perfect size. Our tour leader did a stellar job of engaging the group and working behind the scenes to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We dog sledded, snowmobiled and at the end of the night witnessed a dramatic Aurora show dancing across the sky while parked on the frozen lake. It was unreal. Meals were all fantastic as well. The winter clothing package was a must. We will definitively return to Yellowknife, a great winter destination.

Would go on another trip (with Anderson Vacations) any day.

Camile J

This is the second Canadian tour we have done with Anderson and both have been an experience we will never forget.

I love everything Anderson Vacations does and stands for. I am a travel professional in Vancouver. Anderson Vacations assists me by creating amazing custom journeys for my clients. The service is heads above and beyond their competitors. Yesterday Darcie Guarderas our Business Development Manager hosted an educational and fun seminar for her agency partners. With a true passion and customer focus with a lot of humour Darcie led us on a magical trip to Vancouver Island. From academy work at home desk in Vancouver I felt I was having tea at the Empress, I saw the amazing totem poles in Duncan and I visited Chemainus an Coombes. I lived on the island between 1979 and 1985 and I felt that I had gone home again. Thank you so much. It made my whole week.

Philip Beck

The tour was wonderful, and our guides were top notch!!

Debbie

Just want to say I enjoyed all aspects of the tour - to me everything was excellent ............. tour guides (yourselves), hotel (loved it), food (so good), and sightseeing tours (entertaining and informative). I was so impressed with the winter clothing gear - never felt cold at any time other than when I had to take the gloves off sometimes to use the camera. This trip was number 1 on my bucket list so will enjoy the memories!

Marita

The Yellowknife trip was great – the food – your tour guides – the tours – the display of northern lights and Yellowknife itself was just wonderful.
