Description
Let's go hiking! Join a local guide on the ultimate day tour for active travellers that want to explore the rainforests and iconic outdoor attractions of Vancouver's North Shore Mountains.
Take in the natural beauty of Vancouver’s rugged mountains, canyons, and waterfalls on a day trip tour from Vancouver. Hike, take a gondola, and explore local spots that focus on ecological preservation and education.
First, meet your guide near Canada Place (Downtown Vancouver) and board the WoW Tours mini-coach. Drive out to Stanley Park, where you’ll enjoy a brief guided tour of the park on board the mini-coach. Then, prepare to cross the iconic Lion’s Gate Bridge.
Next, arrive at Grouse Mountain. Hop out and begin the 2.5 KM hike of Grouse Grind Trail and climb 800 m in elevation. Enjoy free time at Grouse Mountain, where you can choose to see shows like the Birds of Prey, Grizzly Bears, or Lumberjacks.
Then, hop on the Gondola Skyride and take advantage of your included download ticket (a ride down the mountain). Watch the thick cover of trees below you pass you by. Then, head over to the suspension bridge.
Finally, cross the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, and arrive at Lynn Canyon Park. Enjoy this free time to explore Twin Falls, the Pipe Bridge, or the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre before heading back to Vancouver.
