Overview

Enjoy a stay in one of our favourite cities. Located on the edge of the ocean with the magnificent backdrop of mountains, this is a beautiful city to explore on foot. Or by bike. Or by bus. We’ve created this suggested itinerary, with various activities included such as a foodie tour, a whale watching cruise, a float-plane experience and a hop-on hop-off bus tour. But we can tailormake it to suit you, and if you want, we could add a few days in Victoria just over the Georgia Strait or a few days in the charming mountain town of Whistler. (JV - TM)

Highlights

  • Half day whale-watching cruise
  • Walking tour of Gastown
  • Float-plane scenic flight over Vancouver, Horseshoe Bay and Deep Cove

"Seeing Vancouver from the air is an amazing way to see the city! Audio description can be booked with the flight and is given through personal headphones and individual devices. The flight gives an unparalleled view of Stanley Park and gives you a better idea of just how big it is. You also get good views of Vancouver harbour, English Bay, Lions Gate Bridge, downtown Vancouver and beyond to North Vancouver and the mountains."
Emma, North America Specialist

Day 1

Fly to Vancouver

Fly to Vancouver and take a private transfer from the airport to your chosen hotel. We recommend the Georgian Court Hotel as a comfortable base in a good location, but there are lots of other hotels to choose from to suit all budgets, including the impressive Fairmont Waterfront or the luxurious and historic Rosewood Hotel Georgia

Day 2

Vancouver – City Tour

After a leisurely start, take a hop-on hop-off bus tour of the city to orientate yourself and decide the neighbourhoods and sights where you would like to spend more time. There are 23 stops on the route, and we recommend you “hop off” at Granville Island for a wander around the fantastic market, the Robson Shopping District and Chinatown for a spot of lunchtime Dim Sum.

Day 3

Vancouver – Scenic Floatplane Experience

A real signature experience, today we’ve booked you onto a floatplane flightseeing trip. You’ll take off from Coal Harbour and enjoy a complete aerial view of the city, with the ocean and mountains in the background. You’ll fly over Horshoe Bay, English Bay and Deep Cove and then have that unique sensation of landing on water at the end of your experience.

Day 4

Vancouver – Whale Watching Adventure

Hop aboard the Ocean Magic Express Cruiser for a guided whale watching and wildlife viewing tour from downtown Vancouver. You’ll see several different species of whales in the wild as well as various sea birds and marine wildlife. The 74-passenger vessel has heated indoor cabin as well as two open air decks, plus snack bar and washrooms. There are several different whale watching experiences that we can book for you, with different durations, locations and vessel-types.

Day 5

Vancouver – Gastown Tour Walking Tour

Your final day to tick off a few more of the sights. Later in the afternoon, discover the shady past of Vancouver on the "Lost Souls of Gastown" walking tour. You will learn about the history of Vancouver as a wild frontier town filled with hustlers, thieves, and vagabonds. Amid the swirling lamplight and darkened alleys of Gastown, your guide brings Vancouver's murky past to life!
