Why take this tour?

After picking you up from your Downtown Vancouver accommodations, your adventure begins with a narrated drive through the beautiful city of Vancouver. Enjoy the sights as you pass through Downtown, Gastown, and Chinatown on your drive. Upon arrival at the Vancouver Lookout, you will be whisked up 553 ft. in a glass elevator to experience a 360 degree view of the city and its surrounding beauty.

Once you are back on the ground, experience the natural beauty of the west coast as we drive through Stanley Park. You’ll have many photo opportunities along the way including Prospect Point, the famous Totem Poles, and stunning views of the nearly 400 hectares of rainforest.

Next you’ll set sail through the waters surrounding Vancouver aboard the Vancouver Harbour Cruise. On this scenic 1-hour cruise across city’s stunning harbour you will enjoy picturesque views of the city skyline, Lions Gate Bridge, and the North Shore Mountains.

Your final stop will be a visit to the famous Granville Island Public Market. Here you will find many local, fresh and satisfying food options. You can choose to relax at a table next to the water, check out the local art shops or explore the historical areas during your free time.

After your morning of exploring, your guide will drop you off back at your accommodations in Downtown Vancouver.
