About This Tour

Explore the North Shore + Grouse Mountain

Vancouver’s North Shore is more than just the majestic mountain backdrop for one of the world’s most scenic cities. It’s a year-round destination where the city and wild nature collide.

This is the place where landscapes, history, culture, and people connect in a region of varied experiences. From the mountaintops to our towering old-growth forests to the turquoise waters of our shoreline, let’s explore the North Shore!

Begin with a drive through Stanley Park to cross the iconic Lions Gate Bridge Continue Vancouver’s scenic North Shore, and onto Grouse Mountain, which offers up ever-changing views as the Skyride ascends to the peak. Explore the Wildlife Refuge, awesome chainsaw carvings and learn about the local wildlife at the Theatre in the Sky.

A quick drive to the Cleveland Dam to explore and capture pictures of the incredible mountainous landscape.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic drive to Horseshoe Bay for time to ferry watch, beachcomb or just to breathe in the salt air.

The last stop at Lonsdale Quay and its unobstructed views of Downtown Vancouver will satisfy your taste buds or shopping needs. Fresh food market with international and local products, artisan shopping and restaurants with menus for everyone.

Cleveland Dam

The Cleveland Dam located in Capilano River Regional Park is arguably the most picturesque sites on the North Shore. The water reservoir leads into a beautiful scenic view of the Lions peak, along the North shore Mountains. The lake water you see at the Cleveland Dam is pristine, which is why Vancouver has some of the purest drinking tap water in the world!
