All kinds of outdoor pursuits are available right on Vancouver’s doorstep. Where else can you ski in the morning then swim, kayak or play a round of golf in the afternoon without even leaving town? While the skiing, mountain biking and diving are world class, for many people the most rewarding and accessible activities are hiking and kayaking. A number of great trails lead up to panoramic viewpoints in the foothills of the Coast Mountains, with even better hiking through spectacular landscapes further north on the Sea to Sky Highway. No previous experience is necessary to enjoy a first-rate kayaking adventure right from town. There is also ample scope for golfing, fishing and sailing. Squamish to the north is a centre for climbing and windsurfing. Whistler is a skier's haven, with many other winter and summer sports available. The Gulf Islands are perfect to tour in a kayak or yacht, while Tofino has some of the best kayaking and surfing in the country.
