Head north from Vancouver on Highway 99 towards Whistler and enjoy one of the most scenic drives in all of North America! Beginning at sea level and winding along the shore of Howe Sound, the route offers spectacular ocean views, exciting outdoor destinations like the Sea to Sky Gondola, and famous hiking trails. From the cliffs at Whytecliff Park to the breathtaking turquoise colour of Garibaldi Lake – there is something for everyone to discover!

Stanley Park

Stanley Park

When first coming to Vancouver, you will certainly notice the city’s special layout – the Downtown area is actually a peninsula and fully surrounded by water. Adjacent to Downtown Vancouver, you’ll find Stanley Park, a sprawling urban park like no other! Renting a bike and riding the Seawall should be a must on your Vancouver bucket list, just like discovering its interior trails and cultural attractions on foot. Whether you want to watch Canadian sea life at the Vancouver Aquarium, take stunning shots of the Vancouver skyline, or dip into the heated 80-meter pool… spending a day at Stanley Park is always a great option!

Granville Island

Granville Island

If you are looking for a relaxed afternoon stroll with unique shopping opportunities, take the short ferry ride (called Aquabus) to Granville Island. Nowadays, the area is known for its distinctive atmosphere with artists and retailers offering their goods in converted warehouses, alongside houseboats, theaters, galleries, and breweries. Visit Granville Island Public Market for fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood or other ready-to-eat delicacies.
