Deciding on the best time to visit British Columbia depends on what you’re looking to do once you’re there. If you’re hoping to catch sights of the grizzly bears, time your visit from early summer (June) to mid-autumn (October). If you want to see whales, make sure you’re in British Columbia anytime between early-July (mid-summer) to late-September (early-autumn). Mid-July to mid-August is the busiest period in the province, but Canada’s weather reputation means fewer tourists than in other destinations during their peak seasons. You’ll have an easier time getting accommodation, but always make sure to book well in advance.
