Recorrido a pie por los árboles antiguos de Vancouver
Descripción
Este es el único tour antiguo de árboles grandes de Vancouver. A poca distancia del centro de Vancouver, será guiado por el conocido buscador de grandes árboles Colin Spratt a través del último bosque antiguo de Vancouver ubicado en el histórico Stanley Park. El recorrido dura alrededor de 3 horas y en ese período de tiempo visitará cedros antiguos gigantes de más de 800 años de antigüedad, abetos imponentes tan altos como rascacielos, y también aprenderá sobre la historia del parque. Usando mapas antiguos, postales de más de cien años de antigüedad y fotos del archivo de Vancouver, reunimos la historia del bosque antiguo y el entorno urbano. Esta es una oportunidad completamente única para experimentar la última parte restante del paisaje antiguo original perdido de Vancouver.

Brilliant! Colin is supremely knowledgable. His enthusiasm is boundless and I would recommend his tour to anyone who loves trees.
I strongly recommend this tour to anyone with even a passing interest in trees. Colin is incredibly engaging and knowledgeable about old and new growth trees, Vancouver and Stanley Park history. The forest is beautiful already, but you will come away with a deeper appreciation for the trees, their history, their impact and their contribution to the ecosystem
This tour was outstanding! Collin has a true passion for trees and science, and he gets you excited about it too! We learned SO much! We highly recommend this tour! A must-do!
Bucket list item. Had a wonderful experience. Tour was led by a passionate and expert professional. A 2.5 hour walk through forest...mostly shaded and even pavement... to see and learn about the magnificent trees and historic area. ...a must do!
Phenomenal experience. Guide Collin is fantastic. He has vast knowledge and passion for forest preservation. An amazing opportunity to be with him.
It was such a pleasure to learn from someone with such a depth of knowledge - very unique experience. We all agreed it was the highlight of our trip.
Get a REAL taste of the original forests of Vancouver with a guide who knows Stanley Park inside and out. You'd never guess what lies hidden just steps away from the main thoroughfares! An easy walk, with lots of stops to hear the history of 400 to 1000 year old giants from the original Vancouver forests, you come away marvelling at these ancient survivors and a real understanding of the challenges they faced to survive so long. The stories of Stanley Park and its inhabitants interweave facts about climate, meterology, biology, indigenous and western settlers and gives you a true appreciation for this marvellous park and the amazing resiliency of its precious forest in the face of both mankind and nature.
So glad I booked this tour! A great mini escape from civilization while staying in the city. Our guide Colin's passion for trees and conservation shone through his extensive knowledge of old and new growth areas in Stanley Park. It was a pleasure catching a small glimpse into the world of ancient trees in beautiful BC.
My partner and I went on the Ancient Trees Walking Tour on June 8. It was the last day of a two-week trip to the Pacific Northwest; we'd already had lots of amazing adventures, but I have to say this was one of the highlights of our travels. Colin is so knowledgeable and incredibly engaging. We both learned so much, were awestruck by the beauty of the areas Colin took us too (right there in Vancouver!), and it was quite moving to stand beside trees that towered over us and had been there for 1000 years. The time flew and we would have happily listened to Colin for another three hours. His work in the world, to bring attention to and save the last ancient trees on earth, is inspiring. A gem of a tour - HIGHLY recommend! ... Thank you, Colin, for a great experience and for being you!
Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We all were so impressed, even with the rainy setting. Dress appropriately and you will enjoy the lack of crowds if you end up with a rainy day.
