About This Tour

Explore Grouse Mountain + Capilano Suspension Bridge

This tour is all about adventure, as you take in the natural wonders surrounding Vancouver & the Burrard Inlet. Begin with a traverse through the green urban oasis of Stanley Park, and across the historic Lions Gate Bridge to Vancouver’s North Shore.

At Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, stand above an old growth cedar forest and the Capilano River. Experience the awe of natural surroundings, view First Nations artwork, and feel the rush of adrenaline at the Cliffwalk attraction.

Spectacular Grouse Mountain is next, offering 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.

EXPLORATION STOPS

Next stop: Adventure! Step off the bus, stretch your legs, and explore at your own pace. We've created our itinerary to give you the perfect amount of time at each unforgettable stop! Not sure where to start? Our guides are always happy to show you their favourite hidden gems!

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

One of the things that makes life in Vancouver so fantastic is how the city is able to balance urban culture with jaw-dropping natural landscapes, and the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is both jaw-dropping, and natural. You will be strolling among the trees of temperate rainforests and traversing the Capilano Suspension Bridge itself, towering over the breathtaking Capilano River. The Treetops Adventure connects seven viewing platforms to massive 1,300 year-old Douglas Fir trees. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, enjoy the Living Forest Trail, an interpretive walk along boardwalks and pathways that will have you learning about the forest before you even know it.

Grouse Mountain Resort

Your stop at Grouse Mountain is sure to stoke your inner mountain adventurer, even if only from the safety from a tram. The Skyride Gondola is your ticket to the top of Grouse Mountain where year-round adventure awaits. Catch a show in the Theatre in the Sky, hang out with the bears at the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife or experience the Birds in Motion demonstration. Whether summer or winter there is always much to do on top of Grouse Mountain! Did we mention that the views of the City of Vancouver are breathtaking? Don't forget your camera!

Capilano Fish Hatchery

Learn about salmon sustainability practices of the hatchery and local area through their observation gallery, where you can see how salmon climb the fish ladders by jumping from one pool to the next.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Each of our tours shine a spotlight on the region's most iconic landmarks, neighbourhoods, and culture — all with live narration from our expert guides. Don't forget your camera! Our oversized, tinted windows are designed for sightseeing so you won’t miss a thing!

Stanley Park

Celebrated as Vancouver’s first official green space, Stanley Park compliments the business of the city with an expansive array of forest, field and path known as Stanley Park. Driving through the park you will experience life on the Vancouver Seawall where runners, walkers and cyclists all stretch their legs along this barrier protecting the shores from erosion. Stanley Park is a true wonderland of forest attractions including the quaint Teahouse Restaurant, views of the endless Pacific Ocean over sandy shores, even an outdoor summer theatre. You will want to return to visit the iconic Vancouver Aquarium and decipher the stories wandering through the First Nations Totem Poles.

Lion's Gate Bridge

A photographers paradise, the historic Lion's Gate Bridge is one of Vancouver's best known landmarks. With stunning views over the Burrard Inlet and the mountains of North Vancouver, you are sure to be inspired by the long history of the bridge and its picture-perfect setting. Famously known for the lion statues that protect the south entrance, travelling the Lion's Gate during the day provides much to see, but you'll want to come back at night to witness the sparkling array of thousands of lights donated by the Guiness Family, lending the skyline a recognizable night time glow.
