My wife and I eloped and hitched things up in Vancouver. We did the deed at sunrise so we could make all the ferries to desolation sound for a 6 night sea kayaking trip. It was spectacular. Highly recommended.

My wife and I, usually with others, have done some fantastic tripping in BC. Several of our top ten trips ever were there. There's lots left we haven't done, most of which we won't have time or the skills to get to. There's a huge range of paddling possible there, tiny ponds, medium and big lakes, ocean, easy and hard rivers. Personally, I stay away from ocean stuff, realizing the sea is big and can kill my butt, so I'll leave that to others. Also lots of nice paddling in YT above it, as well as some in NWT. I haven't paddled in Alberta, but there's got to be some primo stuff there.
