A rainforest in the middle of our beautiful city. This place is one of a kind. Stanley Park is an amazing spectacle of nature, with amazing veiws of the forest, but also some fantastic beach views of the city. You can get lost here for an entire day. Run or bike the perimeter (counter-clockwise only) or take a scooter or car around the driving path. I suggest a bike ;)

A beautiful, sheltered, ocean cave town that feels like small-town coastal BC, but is close to Vancouver. There are some beautiful forest walks around here, at all times of the year.

One of the most iconic hikes that Vancouver has to offer. This is basically the Stair-Master in real life! Stairs carved out into the mountain get you from the bottom of the mountain all the way up Grouse Mountain. On the way down, you need to take the gondola, which provides stunning views of the hike you just finished! ** not the easiest hike **

A beautiful beach for sunsets in the summer. Also a good home base for an outdoor workout: run paths, workout on the rings and pullup bars, or hit the basketball courts. Also a great bbq spot

This is a really cool experience for adults and kids! Get a tour of what a mine looks like, even just stopping by and checking it out on the outside is cool! Very interesting, and built into the side of a mountain.

Getting Around

Take the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Vancouver Island, Bowen Island, or the Sunshine Coast. Ferry Rides themselves are AMAZING for viewing our land from the water.
