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 Grinder and Coola, the two resident Grizzly bears, visit the Theatre in the Sky or take in the views from Paradise Patio - there's something to "peak" everyone's interest!

We were met after departing our cruise and escorted to the bus. Driver (Alex) was friendly and knowledgeable. The Capilano Suspension Bridge was an experience! And there were fun activities on Grouse Mountain. It was nice to have our suitcases stored on the bus. We were dropped off right at the airport after the tour. Great way to spend the day.
This was a great opportunity for us to see the sites in Vancouver after our cruise ended. We had a really late flight and did want to waste the day. We could have used more time at the Suspension Bridge, there were so many things to see and do there. We loved it and it was the highlight for my husband and I. Grouse Mountain was really cool. It was sunny and warm at the ticket area but we wished we would have taken our jackets to the top because it was much cooler and we were cold. Lots of options to pay for add ons at the top such as the mountain coaster and ski lift. We didn’t do those things because we were cold. Take a jacket and enjoy! Overall we both loved the tour and we are glad we booked it. Great for families!
This was a fantastic way to end our Alaskan cruise trip. We had a late night flight and this filled our time with many interesting sights. Alex was a great tour guide who provided excellent information and entertainment.
This was a perfect post cruise experience. It allowed us to see some beautiful portions of Vancouver in a relaxed manner with our suitcases safely stored on the bus. After the tour we were dropped off at the airport.
This excursion was fantastic! Our guide was very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality as a guide! He took us to additional stops to show us extra sights beyond what was listed on the tour and did his best to ensure everyone had a terrific experience!
Very entertaining and informative. Our guide, Alex, was so personable and fun. We loved Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and our experience on Grouse Mountain. It was a perfect way to spend our last Vancouver and the bonus was being dropped off at the airport at the end of the excursion.
This experience gives you a "whole day" experience at some places that are well worth seeing. For us, it was also good to be collected from the cruise port, and be able to be transported to the airport at the end of the day, meaning that we did not have to organize our own transport. Our driver was actually a good driver! (some are not, and it is nice to feel safe when navigating through traffic). Sarah also appeared to be very knowledgeable about all of the places she took us to. At times, when out on foot, she had started giving information before the whole group was present, which means that we did not all get the information that was being imparted...but on the whole she was great. I would definitely recommend this trip. And also, the bus seats were very comfortable...good lumbar support!
This is fantastic way to fill in time after your cruise if you have a late flight to catch. We were catching our flight at 10.30pm and disembarked from our cruise ship by 9.30.am. Our tour started at 11am
Our tour guide, Tim was outstandingly awesome! He was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about all the stops on the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vancouver.
Alex was highly organised, knowledgeable and informative of Vancouver and the local area. Excellent communicator, friendly and this tour was a fantastic way to end our time in Vancouver. Was dropped off at the airport at the end which was so helpful
