You will experience downtown Vancouver at leisure as the bus circles through a series of cultural districts, seaside points of interest, and Stanley Park. Clear top buses for stunning views, rain or shine, and full commentary in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. During your stop at Canada Place, we recommend the FlyOver Canada experience nearby. The show utilizes state-of-the-art technology to give you the feeling of flight. You will hang suspended, feet dangling, before a 20-metre spherical screen while the film takes you away on an exhilarating 8-minute journey across Canada, from east to west. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride's motion to create an unforgettable experience. During the other stops, we suggest exploring Stanley Park and see the Lion's Gate Bridge spanning the entrance to Vancouver's port. The longest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed it offers unparalleled views of the harbour and English Bay beyond. Travel to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and walk among the towering trees of this temperate rain forest and learn the ways of the local Indigenous people. Walk across the world's longest foot suspension bridge to the other side of theriver where you can climb to the tree canopy and stroll through the "Treetops Adventure" walkway high above the canyon floor and the river below. To top off a fun-filled day, we have the 2 hours long Hydrobike Explorer experience that allows these eco-friendly watercraft to safely and effortlessly bicycle on water. Water biking makes for a cool and fun adventure, and is a truly unique way to spend time with family and friends, and without worrying about getting wet...unless you want to of course! The water bikes are fun and safely enjoyed by people of all ages as you cruise around at your own pace while taking in all the vibrancy of Vancouver from the ocean. Although no guarantees, keep your eyes open for marine/wildlife as well. Native birds, seals, beavers and even whales on very rare occasions can be seen. Arguably the most beautiful time to explore Vancouver from the water is the evening. Come ride and witness a stunning Vancouver sunset, while gliding across the water and taking in all the gorgeous scenery. Bring some snacks and dress appropriately for a fun evening.
