 “Rare in BC”

is a curated, purposely small and different travel guide, highlighting relaxing cottages, artisan makers, indie cafés, craft shops, and small-town gems.

“Rare in BC” is not a road map designed to lead you to a destination; it is a companion designed to reveal exceptional experiences on your way or once you arrive.

 “Rare in BC” is highlighting places that embody genuine hospitality, warm, welcoming, and inspiring.”

We are featuring local makers, chefs, festivals, farm stays, etc. Rare like handcrafted, one-of-a-kind, rooted in place. Taste, touch, and feel some rare flavors of British Columbia.

Rare in BC exists for travelers who already know where they want to be, like Bowen Island, the Sunshine Coast, the Gulf Islands, the quiet corners of Vancouver Island, and want their time there to feel intentional, nourishing, and beautifully uncommon.

Instead of generic travel-guide noise, we offer:

  • Rare places — tucked-away beaches, artisan studios, local-only spots
  • Rare experiences — small, thoughtful, sensory-rich moments that make people feel grounded
  • Rare care — offerings designed to support wellbeing, presence, and connection

Our promise is simple:
Wherever someone chooses to spend their precious time, you help them feel like they chose exactly right.
