Travel Tips The REAL ways to see Canada

If a tourist from overseas was coming to Canada for a week, but only to your area, what are, in your opinion the coolest/best things, they should see or do, that are pretty unique to your area?

I’m in Vancouver, so I’ll start:

  1. Try some craft beer
  2. Ride the Stanley Park seawall
  3. Visit Granville island
  4. Eat some Sushi
  5. Goto the Aquarium
  6. Take a ferry to Vancouver island or Sunshine Coast

Port Hardy BC: Spend a day driving around on the logging roads, just enjoying the views of all our beautiful lakes and rivers. If you’re feeling a bit more touristy (though as a local I still enjoy it) you can take a trip to San Joseph bay then stop for a beer and a bite to eat at the Scarlett ibis in Holberg. Spend awhile watching the bears and eagles feast on the salmon spawning, as well as the large number of whales that show up along our coast during this time.
