British Columbia is Canada's second-most-visited province for a reason.
Johnstone Strait, a glacier-carved channel between mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island, is especially beautiful — and you might even see a humpback whale in the water if you visit at the right time.
One of my favorite experiences on the province's Vancouver Island is kayaking around the shores in the morning.
I watched Steller sea lions glide through the water, and a river otter play on a nearby dock.
Once you're done with the water, venture along to visit some of the nearby picturesque communities like Telegraph Cove and Hanson Islands.
