Indulge your sense of adventure in this exploration of two of BC’s most beautiful regions, West Kootenays and Osoyoos. We head to Nelson, one of the prettiest towns in BC, perched on the shores of the Kootenay River and surrounded by the rugged Selkirk Mountain Range.

Living up to its reputation Nelson boasts 350 heritage buildings, a thriving arts community, and oozes true storybook charm. We visit nearby Kaslo, Crawford Bay and Castlegar each offering something decidedly unique to the region, including an original Kootenay Lake Sternwheeler tour, and Artisan Village and an authentic Doukhobor experience. We take short walks, have ample time to browse and shop, and just soak in everything the area has to offer. Finish with two nights in Osoyoos for wine tasting and dining in Canada's Wine Capital. This tour is filled with stunning vistas so bring your camera for this one!
