North Shore Capilano and Grouse Mountain Tour (Hotel Guests)

Experience overview

If you are staying in a hotel in Vancouver and have a day free, take some time to explore Vancouver's North Shore and have a day full of adventure while in this scenic region surrounding the city. Visit the Capilano Fish Hatchery and learn about the interesting life cycle of the Pacific Salmon. Travel to great heights above Vancouver while exploring Grouse Mountain. Also, visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge and enjoy the many treetop trails and cliff walks that await you. Begin your tour with a slow drive over the Lion's Gate Bridge, which spans the entrance to Vancouver's port. The bridge offers unparalleled views of the harbor and English Bay beyond. Once across to the North Shore, head to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Trek along the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which is raised 230 feet above the Capilano River and crosses a span of 450 feet. Enjoy the park's Treetop Adventures and venture across a series of elevated suspension bridges, while walking among magnificent Douglas fir trees that cover the forest floor. While on your North Shore tour in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, brave the Cliff Walk. Suspended walkways meander through rainforest vegetation and jut out from granite cliffs. Many of the high, narrow walkways feature glass floors, which are all that separate you from the magnificent canyons hundreds of feet below. Continue on to your next stop at the Capilano Fish Hatchery. Wonder at nature's incredible ability to sustain itself as you are shown how salmon are helped through man's intrusion on their habitat. Learn about their life cycle and watch them as they leap their way upriver and through the glassed-in fish ladder. Next, you will ascend 3,700 feet above Vancouver as you ride up the Grouse Mountain Skyride. From this impressive height, view the city, the Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf Islands below as they get smaller and smaller as you ride higher and higher up the mountain. Once at the top, take the opportunity to enjoy Grouse Mountain's many attractions. Depending on the season you travel, you will see lumberjack shows, grizzly bears at the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife, and even theatre presentations.
