Experience
Vancouver Aquarium at Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC 919
Old-growth rainforest is the setting for this guided hike, built for visitors to Vancouver who want to see the wild scenery that surrounds the city on every side. The intermediate route covers about 9 km of trails, following a creek past waterfalls and clear pools and crossing a suspension bridge along the way. Getting there takes no planning on your part: pickup and drop-off happen right at the curb. The trail includes stairs and some elevation gain, so a reasonable level of fitness is expected. If your trip to Vancouver has so far been limited to the downtown streets, this outing puts you among the towering trees, rushing water and quiet paths that make the region's natural setting famous with travellers.
