Day by day

  1. Day 1 Arrive in Vancouver

    Vancouver, located on Canada's Pacific coast is spectacular by nature! Surrounded by ocean and a backdrop of lush rainforest, snow-capped mountains and fjords, this "city of nature" is an ethnically diverse, modern and laid-back metropolis renowned for its mix of urban, outdoor and wildlife adventures. There is no easy way to describe Vancouver, rated as one of the world's topmost live-able cities; you will just have to see for yourself. Drop your bags off at your hotel and head to FlyOver Canada located at the iconic Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. The experience utilizes state-of-the-art technology to give you the feeling of flight. You will hang suspended, feet dangling, before a 20-metre spherical screen while the film takes you away on an exhilarating 8-minute journey across Canada, from east to west. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride's motion to create an unforgettable experience.(Cruise ship terminal to hotel transfer available as an optional extra)

You'll be surrounded by Vancouver's coastal mountains, towering cliffs, marine life and endless photography opportunities. This "Sea Safari" experience has been welcomed into the Canadian Signature Experience Collection. After your ocean experience head to the skies on board Grouse Mountain Skyride. Take the tram to a 1200 metre (3700 ft) viewpoint above the city. At the top enjoy the orphaned grizzly bears at the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife. Next travel to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and walk among the towering trees of this temperate rain forest and learn the ways of the local Indigenous people. Walk across the world's longest foot suspension bridge to the other side of the river where you can climb to the tree canopy and stroll through the "Treetops Adventure" walkway high above the canyon floor and the river below.
