What season are you dreaming of visiting Canada?
March through May are great for sunny spring camping on Vancouver Island & nearby coastline, and slushy spring ski days on the mainland.
Spring in BC
From March to May, British Columbia comes alive. Snow gives way to rushing rivers, wildflowers bloom, and the forests come back to life. This is one of the best times to explore Vancouver Island, score some slushy spring ski turns, and explore BC’s quaint Gulf Islands
Why come now?
Spring is quieter, more affordable, and in many ways more stunning than summer. The mountains are still covered with snow, rivers and waterfalls are surging with snowmelt, and cherry blossoms and other greenery is in full bloom

Western Canada at its finest. From June to September, all of Canada’s high mountain passes, coastal paradises, and more are prime for adventure
Summer in Western Canada
Summer in British Columbia and Alberta is truly Canada at its finest. You’ll have consistent sunny weather, see massive glaciers peak their heads out from under spring snowfields, and sunlight until as late as 10PM at night. If you’re looking to hike in high-alpine passes, lounge on warm remote beaches, or go farther into the backcountry than you ever have before, this is the time of year to do so.
It’s Popular for a Reason
Summer offers the best weather, and is the best time to do a wide range of activities: hiking, mountain biking, water sports, off-roading, and more. But some of our guests have discovered a quiet secret: the magic doesn’t end when summer does. If your schedule offers a little more flexibility, the shoulder seasons in early fall and late spring offer a similarly spectacular summer FarOut experience.

From chasing British Columbia’s iconic Golden Larches, to cozy days on Vancouver Island, or a quiet and serene Banff National Park, there’s plenty to explore in October and November.
Fall in Western Canada
Fall is one of the best times to visit BC! Sunny summer days continue well in to September and October. Milder temperatures and kids going back to school means less crowds and lower prices. It’s the best time of year to fish, surf, and hike through fall foliage.
Who Fall is Calling
In addition to being the best time of year to fish, surf, and more, fall is a great travel option for young professionals, early retirees, or anyone with a slightly more flexible yearly schedule. It’s a unique opportunity to experience many of the best parts of summer in Canada, without the crowds.
