Optional activities

Canada Place & Jack Poole Plaza

Start your journey today with a stop at two iconic landmarks situated side by side along Vancouver’s waterfront. Canada Place resembles a sailing ship, and it serves as both a symbol of Canadian pride and a hub for tourism and events. Jack Poole Plaza, named after the visionary behind the 2010 Winter Olympics bid, features stunning views of the harbor and mountains, making it a popular gathering spot. Here you will see the Olympic Torch, which was lit during the 2010 Winter Olympics, and represents the four host First Nations of the games. The entire area stands as a testament to Vancouver’s cultural vibrancy.

Stanley Park & Brockton Point

Continue on and stop at Stanley Park, one of Vancouver’s top attractions, offering a coastal rainforest walk with a rich diversity of lush plants and rare trees. Explore the park as you are surrounded by local mountains and the beautiful cityscape. Here you will have the option to join a short guided walking tour of the First Nations Totem Poles. These represent a number of Indigenous Nations near Brockton Point. Some of these beautifully carved Totem Poles have been dated back to as early as the 1880’s.

Walking
Optional walking tour

West End & English Bay

Drive away from Stanley Park and into the city’s urban area. The West End offers a captivating blend of urban living and natural beauty. As Vancouver’s trendiest neighbourhood, it has a vibrant and diverse community and a lively atmosphere. English Bay, also called First Beach, is known for its sandy beach and breathtaking sunsets. This is where the annual Polar Bear Swim takes place every New Year’s Day since 1920, where brave participants take a cold plunge into the water.

Granville Island

Cross the bridge onto Granville Island. Situated in the heart of the city, this little peninsula is home to a quaint public market featuring fresh produce, artisanal foods, and unique crafts. Have free time to stroll through the area’s lively streets, explore the galleries and shops, and find the perfect lunch/dinner spot. This must-visit destination for both locals and tourists will be the last stop of your tour. Then, you will be dropped off at the same spot you were picked up from at the beginning.

False Creek

  • From Granville Island you can find the best spots to relax along the seawall to catch picturesque water shots of False Creek.
