Download This Itinerary
Day 01: Arrival in Vancouver
Arrive at Vancouver airport and complete your immigration. Later transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day is kept free for leisure. Overnight at Vancouver.
Day 02: Vancouver - Grouse Mountain
Today early morning proceed
up to Grouse Mountain, just a 20-minute drive from downtown. After a
spectacular gondola ride to the peak, you’ll enjoy Breakfast with the Bears.
Home to two orphaned Grizzly bears, Grinder and Coola, you get to participate
in their morning feed and learn about them from one of the mountain’s wildlife
rangers before sitting down for your own breakfast. Then, get your heart rate
going with a zipline adventure, criss-crossing the mountain via five of their
lines, zooming over old-growth forest and taking in amazing city views. Later
after lunch enjoy the lumberjack show, the Birds in Motion demonstration, the
hiking trails, or just enjoy the view. Then head down to Capilano Suspension
Bridge Park. Along with the main attraction, a swaying 450 ft (135 m)
suspension bridge high above the Capilano River, the park is also home to the
Cliff Walk, a cantilevered walkway jutting out over the canyon, and a
canopy-walk of seven small suspension bridges anchored in the treetops.
Alternatively, take one of Rockwood Adventures unique North Shore nature tours
which focus on eco-tourism. An expert guide will take you on a trek, hike, or walk (depending on fitness), providing in-depth insight into the temperate
rainforest native to this part of the world. Overnight at Vancouver.
Day 03: Vancouver Experience
After breakfast proceed to English Bay on the south-west side of Stanley Park, your Vancouver Water Adventures guide will take you on a scenic kayak paddle along the rocky shorelines of the park, while you take in the vistas of the North Shore mountains and the city skyline. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife - you might spot bald eagles, seals, or even river otters! If you’d rather explore on two wheels, Cycle City Tours’ Stanley Park tour will introduce you to this 400-hectare green space via dedicated bike trails and easy seawall riding, while your guide covers the park’s history, biodiversity, and many stories. After lunch proceed to Canada Place for a less strenuous form of adventure – the FlyOver Canada flight simulation ride, taking you soaring over the entire country! If that still isn’t enough, transfer to Horseshoe Bay, on the coast north of the city, for Sewell’s Marina’s sea safari nature tour. Don a red survival suit and hop aboard their high-speed, Zodiac-style vessel and cruise the deep fjords of Howe Sound. The area is rich with wildlife, and on your tour, you’ll likely spot sea birds, eagles, otters, deer, and lots of seals. Later in the evening take a little time to stroll around the charming village of Horseshoe Bay. Then return back downtown. Overnight at Vancouver.
Day 04: Fly back to hometown
Post breakfast check out from the hotel and get ready to fly back home with loads of memories.
