Stanley Park Totem Poles

The Stanley Park Totem Poles at Brockton Point are one of BC’s most visited tourist attractions. These towering monuments are brought to life through First Nations artistry and are one of the most recognizable cultural symbols of Western Canada. Since the 1920s, the Vancouver Parks Board has been collecting intricately carved totem poles from remote locations in BC. Enjoy other First Nations art including “Raven: Spirit of Transformation” which was constructed from a Douglas Fir stump that was left after the 2006 windstorm that devastated Stanley Park.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Vancouver blends urban culture with jaw-dropping natural landscapes beautifully, and nowhere is this more clear than within Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Take a relaxing stroll beneath the shade of temperate rainforest, and soak up spectacular Capilano River views from the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge. The Treetops Adventure* course connects seven viewing platforms to massive 1,300 year-old Douglas Fir trees. And for those who prefer the views from terra firma, take a stroll along the Living Forest Trail to learn the stories behind the forest’s native flora and fauna.  *Rider Update: Treetops Adventure at Capilano Suspension Bridge is undergoing maintenance February 5th - May 31, 2024

Famously colorful, with a vibrant, West Coast vibe, Granville Island is a must-see destination. So go with the flow and enjoy this modern cultural hit! 

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!

Chinatown Vancouver

Vancouver is a wonderfully diverse place, with people and cultures from across the world rubbing shoulders happily. Chinatown Vancouver showcases this diversity beautifully, and with its bustling markets and busy streets it’s the largest Chinatown district in Canada. On your spin through this must-see neighbourhood, see the Chinese markets and coffeeshops, and admire the distinctly Eastern architectural designs. Chinatown Vancouver is also home to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden, an authentic 15th century-inspired haven of tranquility.  

Canada Place

If sustainable architecture is of interest to you, your jaw will drop when you see the buildings of the Vancouver Convention Centre. Even though the original East Building at Canada Place is an impressive sight on it's own, the West Building, constructed in 2002, is of a design that will inspire the environmentalist in everyone. You may notice the "living roof" covered in vegetation, but what you won't see is that the building's waste water is treated and recycled for irrigation of the roof. You also won't be able to see the building's LEED Platinum certification in sustainable design, or the building's PowerSmart designation, or it's GO GREEN certification for environmental best practices, but they are indeed all there!

Gastown

For Vancouver’s 19th-century settlers, Gastown is where it all began. This historic neighbourhood boasts cobblestone streets lined with hip boutiques, inviting restaurants and traditional First Nations art galleries — and has been entertaining residents and visitors alike for over a century. During your spin through Gastown, your knowledgeable guide shares insight into the area's history and contemporary influence.
