Vancouver Secrets of Stanley Park Walking Tour

Meet your guide and storyteller for the afternoon at a central meeting point, and get ready to learn the secrets of Stanley Park. Take a hidden path to the seawall, where you’re treated to views of Coal Harbour and hear the chilling tale of Deadman’s Island.

A quick break gives you time to see authentic First Nations totem poles before returning to the secret side of the park. Tales of a forgotten cemetery, a lost village, and Stanley Park’s most notorious crime compete for interest with the public art you pass, as you stroll past centuries-old trees that have grown in the park since the time before Captain Vancouver sailed up the Burrard Inlet.

Having seen a part of Vancouver even locals may have missed, your tour ends back at your starting point.

• Leave the Vancouver tourist trail and walk on paths through old-growth forests
• Learn the stories behind Deadman’s Island and the lost village of Whoi Whoi
• Take pictures of the strangest and most off-beat art in the park
• Start and end at a central point with plenty of time to sightsee

See Stanley Park in a way few tourists ever get to see it. This narrated walking tour of one of Vancouver’s best-loved spots gives you a look at secluded paths, a famous totem pole, weird and wonderful public art, tragic tales from history, and a visit to what remains of a village that was almost lost to the passage of time.
