Make the journey across the magnificent Stanley Park and across the Lions Gate Bridge to the wonders of the North Shore. Discover the world-famous Capilano Suspension Bridge; experience the surrounding West Coast rainforest via the Treetops walkways; board the Skyride for a breathtaking 3,700 feet ascent to the top of Grouse Mountain. At the top, enjoy the “Theatre in the Sky”, visit the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife or simply roam around the top of the mountain taking in the beautiful scenery of Vancouver and Howe Sound.

Indian Arm Wilderness Paddle Adventure & Beach BBQ

Experience the natural beauty of Vancouver’s backyard! 
You will be taken to the Indian Arm, a 15km glacial fjord located 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Dispatched in a classic wooden sea-kayak or a traditional voyageur canoe, take into the calm and hospitable waters with breathtaking scenery and look out for the marine wildlife.  Top the adventure with an outdoor BBQ dinner in the picturesque Cates Park and return to the city, exhilarated and renewed!
