Day 1 – Arrival in Vancouver

Today you’ll arrive in the bustling city. Jump in a taxi and you will shortly reach your comfortable, centrally located hotel in downtown Vancouver, near Robson Street and Stanley Park. You’ll be close to the many shops and cosy restaurants; perfect for a bite to eat. You’ll be close to the waterfront where you can take an evening stroll to see the city lights sparkle next to the sea. If you’d rather stay in our boutique hotel just let us know!

Day 2 – Explore the city

Today it’s time to enjoy the delights of the city and we’ve arranged a bike ride with a local guide to show you the sights of Stanley Park. Cruise along the sea wall, taking in the stunning views across the water and admire the First Nations Totem Poles. The rest of the day is yours to spend as you wish – you could explore Granville Island, a peninsula of old warehouses, now a hub for cafes, restaurants and artist studios.

Day 3 – Depart Vancouver

Today, it’s either time to head to the airport to start your journey home or to pick up your hire car and begin the rest of your Canadian adventure. From Vancouver, you can either head across to Vancouver Island to see the wide array of wildlife such as whales and bears or continue your trip into the interior of the vast British Colombia province.
