Tour Options
Itinerary
Travel over the iconic Lions Gate Bridge and enjoy scenic views of Vancouver's North Shore. Also known as the First Narrows Bridge it crosses the Burrard Inlet, a busy route for cruise ships, recreational boaters and seaplanes. Take a look back and catch a glimpse of the downtown Vancouver skyline and Stanley Park.
Experience the raw power of the Cleveland Dam as you stand atop its massive 300-foot spillway, where the rush of the Capilano River meets the serenity of the mountains. Capture the ultimate Vancouver photo with the turquoise Capilano Lake and the iconic twin peaks of The Lions providing a dramatic, postcard-perfect backdrop
Learn about the rich history of the area in the Story Centre and put your fear of heights to the test by crossing the suspension bridge spanning 450 ft (137m) across and 230 ft (70m) above the Capilano River. Other experiences to enjoy include the Cliffwalk, Treetops Adventures or venturing through The Living Forest. Don't forget to take a deep breath and appreciate the sky-high evergreens and cedar-scented rainforest air.
Just 15 minutes outside of downtown Vancouver, Grouse Mountain offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy. Take the Skyride up to the Peak of Vancouver, meet Coola, the resident Grizzly bear, visit the Theatre in the Sky or take in the views from Paradise Patio - there's something to "peak" everyone's interest!

Wonderful excursion! Kyle is the best; super-informative, witty, and a great driver on top of that! Hard to see how it could have been better…
This was a fun filled day, that just got more beautiful as the day went on and the weather cleared up. The Capilano Suspension Bridge was busy, but we waited max 5 minutes to go across to the other tree tops; we felt a little rushed to get through all of the things offered at the location, but there was no time left to go to the gift shop. The owl and hawk they had open discussions about were almost as amazing as the bridge and tree top walks. It was a very cool experience. The Grouse Mountain stop we were worried wouldn't be great because it was raining at Capilano, but cleared up just as we were headed to Grouse. The view from the top is breathtaking. The lumberjack show was hilarious. We would recommend this tour. The guide Alex did a great job of getting us to every stop and corralling all the guests; and the information along the way was great.
Kyle was super friendly and knowledgeable about the various places we went and was happy to answer any questions we had. He also gave great recommendations as to what to spend our time on.
Our guide was right on time. Very Knowledgeable and courteous showed politeness to customers even to those who were constantly late to the meeting points. He showed more restraint than I would have.
One of the best excursions, so fun to wrap up our cruise vacation seeing the sights in Vancouver! After meeting our guide at the cruise terminal, he secured our luggage in the bus for the duration of the excursion and took us to multiple sights around Vancouver including the Lions Gate Bridge, Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. The views and activities were incredible and our guide was very nice, entertaining and knowledgeable. After our day of exploring, each group was dropped off at their respective hotel, which was very convenient. We would highly recommend this tour!
Great tour. Beautiful scenery. Nice pace to complete it all. Guide was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, helpful and entertaining
Our tour guide was wonderful. He shared lots of local knowledge and good advice about each location. Highly recommend this tour!
A wonderful way to see the natural beauty of vancouver and pass the day after cruise and before our evening flight. our driver was flexible and accommodating, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
Our tour guild was Brent, he was very nice. I do wish that we would have gotten more time at the different stops we made. We went to a salmon hatchery, a foresty stop, and a place on top of a small mountain.
Great tour, Michael was an entertaining driver. Got to see some great attractions, and bonus was luggage transfer and drop off at Hotel. Made for any easy post-cruise excursion. Would've liked a wee bit more time at the top of Grouse Mountain but still got to see most of it.
