What people love about touring British Columbia solo
- Vancouver Island Premium Tour
We loved the tour! Ian is a fantastic tour guide. He’s so knowledgable and makes things fun. It’s a long day but totally worth it. The Discover tour is the best. It’s a smaller group. Very personal. Just enough “tour” time as well as free time. Victoria is wonderful!

British Columbia welcomes solo travelers year-round with June through September bringing the most reliable weather and full activity schedules. These months offer prime wildlife encounters with grizzly bears in Toba Inlet from August to October and whales breaching off Tofino's coast.

Accommodations range from upscale wilderness lodges to well-appointed hotels that cater to independent travelers. The Klahoose Wilderness Resort in Desolation Sound provides private rooms while The Listel Hotel in Whistler offers modern comfort in the heart of the village. Many properties like Pacific Sands Beach Resort in Tofino put you steps from the ocean and close to daily activities. Past guests report: "the lodge accommodations were perfect for meeting other guests while still having private space to recharge after full days of activities."

British Columbia's diverse landscape sets the stage for group activities throughout the year. Summer brings whale watching expeditions off Tofino grizzly bear viewing at Knight Inlet and hiking through Strathcona Provincial Park.
