Itinerary
Stanley Park
Begin the day with a hotel pickup in a comfortable minibus/SUV. The group will drive through Stanley Park, which is a 405-hectare public park that borders the downtown of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, and is almost entirely surrounded by waters of Vancouver Harbour and English Bay. The park has a long history and was one of the first areas to be explored in the city.
Lions Gate Bridge
The group will drive over a prominent Vancouver landmark, the Lion’s Gate Bridge, a 5,890-foot (1,823-meter) bridge that offers unparalleled views of Vancouver Harbor, English Bay, and beyond.
Grouse Mountain
Grouse Mountain, which rises 1,250 meters (4,100 feet) above Vancouver and is only 15 minutes from the city’s downtown core, is a vast alpine playground with a variety of activities. During the 8-minute ride from the Valley Station to the summit, the iconic Red Skyride provides visitors and locals alike with the opportunity to witness the jaw-droppingly beautiful and majestic nature of British Columbia unfold in front of them.
When it comes to tourist attractions in Vancouver, Grouse Mountain is unsurpassed. It is the only four-season destination on the lower mainland, and it offers an extensive wildlife refuge, a diverse selection of dining options, thrilling outdoor adventure, and in the summer, a walk through the mountaintop meadows and a viewing of the world-famous Lumberjack show.
In addition to seeing Grinder and Coola, two resident grizzly bears, visitors can also take part in a ‘Birds in Motion’ demonstration at the National Wildlife Refuge for Endangered Wildlife. Visit the “Theatre in the Sky” and see if you can catch a movie before returning home. The best in local snow sports, as well as a whole lot more. One thing is for certain: there is no place quite like the Peak of Vancouver in terms of beauty and natural wonder.
