| The perfect family adventure, and a great afternoon tour choice is Vancouver's very own alpine playground over
looking the city. During the ski season Grouse is one of Vancouvers' favourite hills, in the summer it and the
surrounding mountains are full of hikers on the many Alpine Trails. The latest attraction to the Peak of Vancouver
is the Eye of the Wind, a twenty storey high wind turbine providing 25% of the resorts' electricity needs. With its' own observation deck at the top. Breath taking views, a fun gondola ride, and fascinating attractions for any time of the year. |

This
afternoon adventure starts with a pickup at your hotel or cruise ship
(or anywhere else you like) and a drive across the famous Lions Gate bridge
to the foot of the mountains.
Our
first stop is the world famous Capilano Suspension Bridge (Admission
Included)
- Thrilling
Treetops Adventure and dramatic Cliffhanger Walk
- Interactive Living Forest exhibit
- Seven acre West Coast rain forest
- First Nations Artisans depicting their artistic techniques, skills and
heritage
From
there the Grouse Mountain Skyride whisks us to the top of the Grouse
Mountain alpine area (Admission Included). |
Once on top
you will be treated to an easy guided orientation walk of the many features of Grouse Mountain, followed by plenty of free time to explore on your
own. Several different lunch and dinner venues are available, as well
as souvenir and gift shops. We recommend this tour as a good afternoon option
because though technically this is a half day tour, your guide will have no problem
hanging round into the evening if you like. As we have mentioned with a
private tour we can be very flexible. Hey, sunset over English Bay from
Grouse is amazing. The tour fee includes complimentary access to the Theatre
in the Sky, snowshoeing, ice skating, The Peak of Christmas and sleigh
rides in the winter. In the summer, visit the Refuge
for Endangered Wildlife with its' resident Grisly Bears and Wolves, take advantage of complimentary scenic chair rides, Grouse Mountain's
World Famous Lumberjack
Show, Birds in Motion demonstrations and much more.
Time
and interest permitting we will also stop at the Capilano Fish Hatchery
where you will learn about the life cycle of Salmon, (up close) and the
Cleveland Dam. |
