Day 01: Arrival at Vancouver
Arrive at the 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 Tour
After breakfast explore Vancouver on two feet with City Running Tours. The city’s year-round moderate weather makes it a great city for running, so today you’ll combine a workout with some sightseeing. Enjoy jogging through False Creek, Chinatown, Granville Island and downtown as your guide teaches you about the area. Later enjoy lunch at one of Vancouver’s many food trucks. The area around the Vancouver Art Gallery, down Burrard Street, and near Canada Place are all great for finding healthy lunch options, many of which are vegetarian or vegan. Later in afternoon spend sometime in the temperate rainforest of Lighthouse Park with Rockwood Adventures. Your guide will lead you through a hike, explaining the biodiversity of the area, before taking in the spectacular view out across the water. Later stroll through Vancouver’s most historic neighbourhood, Gastown. Not only is it home to some of the city’s coolest boutiques, coffee roasters, and galleries, you’ll also find some great restaurants for a relaxing dinner. Overnight at Vancouver.
Day 03: Vancouver - Granville Island
After breakfast proceed to Vancouver’s Granville Island, located opposite downtown on False Creek, is known to many as the city’s arts and culture precinct, and home to the Granville Island Public Market, where Vancouverites like to stock up on local produce. Then proceed to the kayak tours offered by Ecomarine Paddlesports Centres. The calm waters of False Creek make tours suitable for beginners and experts alike, and as you paddle along the waterfront, your guide will give you insight into the history of the area. After lunch, take a spa treatment to soothe any sore muscles, quiet the mind, and melt away tension. From Asian-inspired treatments at CHI, The Spa at the Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver, through to an Ayurvedic experience at Vida Spa, there are plenty of great choices. If spa treatments are not your thing, instead take SKY Helicopters’ Waterfalls & Canyons Tour for an indulgence of a different kind. Enjoy the soar over mountains, canyon cliffs and lakes before landing for a trail hike to the base of a waterfall. Relax with a short yoga practice on the platform, take a meditative moment, or just breathe the purified air. 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.
