Harrison-Agassiz Circle Farm Tour
If you're staying in the Fraser Valley and have time to explore Agassiz and Harrison, we recommend the Harrison-Agassiz Circle Farm Tour. This self-guided tour offers a unique opportunity to visit local historic sites, artisan shops, cideries, and picturesque farmlands.
Othello Tunnels
Located in Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park near Hope, British Columbia, the Othello Tunnels are a series of five historic railway tunnels carved through dramatic canyon walls. Built in 1914 as part of the Kettle Valley Railway to connect the Kootenay Region with the BC coast, the tunnels are now part of the Trans Canada Trail, and an easy 3.5 km walk. Best of all, they’re just a 30-minute drive from Fraser River Lodge—perfect for a day trip during your stay!
E. C. Manning Provincial Park
Only a 45 minute drive from Fraser River Lodge, E.C. Manning Provincial Park located in the North Cascade Mountain range, offers great hiking, camping, and water activities.
Kitsilano Beach
Just minutes from downtown Vancouver, Kitsilano sits along the edge of English Bay, bordered to the north by two of the city’s most beloved beaches—Kits Beach and Jericho Beach. The neighbourhood has a laid-back, coastal feel, with two vibrant commercial strips filled with local shops, cozy cafés, and great restaurants.
Stanley Park
A popular tourist destination that features nearly 1,000 acres of lush greenery, scenic seawall paths, and attractions like the Vancouver Aquarium. One of the best ways to explore the park is by renting a bike and riding along the seawall, where you’ll enjoy stunning views of the city, ocean, and mountains.
Lonsdale Quay
A popular hub located in North Vancouver, offering a mix of specialty shops, fresh food vendors, and waterfront views. The market is easily accessible via public transit. You can take the SeaBus from Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver, which provides a quick 12-minute ride across Burrard Inlet directly to Lonsdale Quay.
Whistler
Whistler is a mountain town about two hours north of Vancouver, best known for skiing and snowboarding in the winter (it was a key host for the 2010 Winter Olympics), and hiking and biking in the summer. The village is walkable and has a good mix of restaurants/pubs, cafés, and shops. Just outside the village (about a 6-minute drive) is the Scandinave Spa, which is a personal favourite. It’s easy to get there by car or shuttle, and there are plenty of accommodation options.
Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island is easy to reach from the mainland, with regular ferry service from Tsawwassen (south of Vancouver) to Swartz Bay near Victoria, and from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo. Victoria is the provincial capital and offers walkable neighbourhoods, cosy restaurants, and a mix of heritage buildings and coastal scenery. If you're heading west, Tofino is renowned for its beaches, surfing, breweries and distilleries, and access to Pacific Rim National Park.
Kelowna
For our guests looking to explore BC, we recommend Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley. The region is famous for its wineries, fresh fruit, lake views, and farm-to-table restaurants.
