Vancouver Bike Tours

There are many ways to enjoy discovering Vancouver, but one of the best is by bike, allowing you to explore the city and its various highlights at your own pace. You can hire bikes and self-guide or join a guided tour where a local guide will share insights about Vancouver’s history, culture, and landmarks. For an extra boost, you can even hop on an e-bike to help tackle the occasional hill (though there aren’t many in the city). Whether it’s cycling through Stanley Park with a coffee in hand or stopping at Granville Island for a bite to eat, there’s a cycle tour to suit every type of traveller.

Seaplane Journeys Over Vancouver and Beyond

For the ultimate views of Vancouver and Vancouver Island, there are few better ways to experience them than from the sky. With seaplanes zipping around the area, ferrying commuters and tourists alike, there are several tours available that will take you to the skies. Whether you’re soaring over Vancouver’s bustling harbour, flying over the picturesque Gulf Islands while keeping an eye out for whales, or heading down the Strait of Georgia with towering mountains and lush rainforests on one side and Vancouver Island on the other, the experience is unforgettable. However you choose to take to the air, the breathtaking views will leave a lasting impression and offer a perspective of British Columbia that you simply can’t get from the ground.

Exploring Vancouver on Foot

Wandering around Vancouver, you’ll find countless hidden gems waiting to be discovered, from charming neighbourhoods to fascinating historical sites. A fantastic way to truly get to know the city is by joining one of the many walking tours available. These tours are designed to suit all travellers, with varying lengths, durations, and themes to match different interests and tastes. For food lovers, there are tours that take you through Vancouver’s culinary hotspots, where you can sample everything from fresh seafood and international cuisine to locally crafted treats. History buffs can dive into the city’s fascinating past with guided walks through historic districts like Gastown and Chinatown, uncovering stories of early settlers and cultural milestones along the way. Culture-focused tours shine a light on Vancouver’s vibrant diversity, introducing you to its Indigenous heritage, artistic highlights, and hidden local haunts. For something more niche, you can even find tours that explore specific topics, such as architecture, street art, or ghost stories, offering a unique perspective on the city. Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in the food scene, uncover the city’s rich history, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll with stunning views, a walking tour is an engaging and enjoyable way to explore Vancouver like a local.

Whale Watching from Vancouver

Join an exhilarating whale-watching trip aboard either a high-speed Zodiac or a covered boat, departing from South Vancouver at various times of the day. Head into the Strait of Georgia to search for the magnificent whales that feed in these waters. Cruise through the Gulf Islands as a professional guide provides fascinating insights into the area's ecology and the diverse animals that call it home. Depending on the season and conditions, you may spot porpoises, orcas, sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and other seabirds. Whether you choose the thrill of a Zodiac or the comfort of a covered boat, you’ll have opportunities to observe these incredible creatures from either the open-air observation deck or the enclosed seating area.
