British Columbia

Self described as "Beautiful British Columbia," the title is well deserved. Head east for rugged snowcapped mountains over in the Rockies, or relax in wine country in Kelowna. Head over to the orchards for a picnic in Summerland or go near Kamloops to see the Hoodoos or to immerse yourself in lake country. Farther west, try your hand at river-rafting along the Thompson.

Ski-enthusiasts? Don't miss Whistler-Blackcomb - home of the 2010 Olympics where world class skiing and snowboarding await. Like rock climbing? Check out the Chief in Squamish. Go sailing around English Bay in Vancouver before settling down for an evening for amazingly fresh sushi at great prices.

If you want to take part in a classic British tradition, be sure to stop at the Empress Hotel in Victoria for afternoon tea before going on a stroll along the seawall. Love epic hikes? Don't miss the West-Coast Trail along the far west of Vancouver Island. Interested in Storm Watching? Tofino in November is where it's at. On the way back to the mainland, don't forget to keep your eyes out for Killer Whales!

What about native art and culture? The Queen Charlotte Islands - sometimes dubbed as the Galapagos Islands of the North is also the ancestral home of the Haida Nation. In the area, fly fishing is a popular activity.

Whatever your interest, there's something in British Columbia for everyone.

1. Kelsey's Tip on Tofino

Tofino, British Columbia, Canada

I lived here for a month and there is not much to do for nightlife except for grab some " Lucky's" beer and set up a bonfire on the beach. However, Whale watching was awsome! Try surfing...its crazy and Check out the Clayoquot Sound Hot Springs. If you like Sushi, Tough City Sushi is the freshest you'll ever have in your life! Delicious . And i recomend ordering and Eggs Benny from Schooners restaurant..the best one i have ever had. If you have a lot of cash then spend the night at the Wickaninnish Inn...gorgeous view and just an awsome Hotel

6. Emma's Tip on North Vancouver

North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Best Greek Restaurant: Antatole Souvlaki, bottom of Lonsdale Avenue. Chicken Souvlaki with rice, roast potatoes, greek salad, tzatziki, and pita bread: $17 (pricey for Greek, but the quality and atmosphere make it well worth it.) Try the Strawberry Daquiri or the Sour Apple Martini! Raglans, nearby is a genuine Tiki Bar with Monsoon Bowl cocktails and bar snacks. Just up the street a couple blocks and accross the street on the corner is another bar with a massive cocktail menu. Drinks are pricey for Vancouver but reasonable for the creativity involved. Lonsdale Quay is fun to wander around and shop, and outside there is live music in the summer. It is also a main transit hub of North Van, as all the busses that go everywhere stop there and you can catch the seabus, either for practical purposes or for the view. On the otherside at Waterfront Station, don't have the paninis at Jugo Juice, I got food poisoning. Lynn Canyon suspension bridge is FREE compared to the expensive and touristy Caplino Suspension Bridge.

7. Brianna's Tip on Fort Nelson

Fort Nelson, British Columbia, Canada

Another part of Canada that SUCKS. Hotels suck. Restaurants suck. Roads suck. People suck. Avoid it at all costs. Unless of course you're driving to Alaska and you can't avoid it, it's the only place with gas for maaaannnnyyyy miles.

8. Zunie's Tip on Vancouver

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Robson ave is a blast. To bad the Canucks suck. Give China town a visit.

9. Melanie's Tip on Vancouver

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Great city to visit and it reminded me a lot of Auckland with the harbour and ranges like the Waitakares. Great public transport with ferries and buses (some on cables) as well as a light rail system. Fantastic shopping (if you still have money when you get there). I would recommend going to the aquarium to see the beluga whales as well as many other sea creatures and the museum at the University has many treasures from the first nations as well as from Maori and Pacific people. Fantastic totem poles. Take a walk through Chinatown as it is worth it and stock up on souvenirs made by the first nation peoples of British Columbia.

10. Lexy's Tip on Malahat

Malahat, British Columbia, Canada

Fantastic drive with scenery points on the way. Magic trees that will mesmerize drivers along the way.
