Sunshine Coast Tour

Accessible only by ferry, boat, or plane, the Sunshine Coast is a spectacular stretch of coastline on mainland British Columbia that deserves at least a few days on your next trip.

There is something for all levels with boat tours, sea kayaking, hiking, and more. Don’t forget to make it to Skookumchuck Narrows to witness the great tidal spectacle for yourself! When you’re ready to rest after your adventures, head to the quaint seaside towns where you’ll find four farmers’ markets, a petting zoo, a historic theatre, and, of course, many locally-owned cafes and restaurants.
