Become acquainted with Vancouver by exploring one of the most scenic park in the world by bike or on foot via the trail that separates it from the sea before hopping on the Aquabus for a quick crossing to Grandville Island. While there, enjoy the sites and smells of the food markets and the many interesting shops. On subsequent days, head into the mountains to take in the natural wonders around the city. After a daring across the Capilano Suspension bridge, a gondola can take the group to the top of Grouse Mountain for stunning views during lunch and a visit to a bear sanctuary. Whistler, and the short journey there, is another option that groups love. More outdoor activities await followed by an afternoon in a relaxing spa.
Vancouver is close for so many and offers a great deal of appeal and variety for groups. It is a city that won’t disappoint!
