Guides and tips for travelling around BC
Itineraries, tips and guides written by the Snow Peak BC team.
We write this guide for people planning a trip to Vancouver and British Columbia: what to do depending on the season, how to get between Vancouver, Whistler, Squamish and Victoria, and the practical details generic guides tend to skip, like real transfer times, weather, and what's worth booking ahead. As a tour and transfer operator based in Vancouver, we write from the route we actually drive every day, not from a generic list of attractions.
