Highlights

The touring carriages depart from the newly built and custom-designed departure station right next to the information booth for Stanley Park, overlooking Coal Harbour and the downtown core of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia.

The friendly and knowledgeable guide narrates the tour while traveling along Park Drive, overlooking the Seawall and the ocean. Go past the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and Deadman’s Island, also known as the HMCS Discovery, a Royal Canadian Navy Reserve. The ride includes a 5-minute stop at the famous totem poles. Feel free to get out and capture some great photos of this popular site.

Note: Please return to the same carriage to continue the tour.

The next stop is at the famous Girl in a Wetsuit Statue and the Empress of Japan Figurehead. Then the ride continues on the north side of Stanley Park with views towards North Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge, a suspension bridge that crosses the first narrows of Burred Inlet, connecting the City of Vancouver.

Overview of park, but short with only one stop. - Quick overview of Stanley Park with some interesting historical background. This is an OVERVIEW which you could use to plan additional time at various locations within the park. It is rather short with only one brief stop at the Totem Poles. If you are able, plan a walk along the famous seawall and enjoy the various sites and markers. If time or physical ability limit you, this tour does provide a sampling of Stanley Park.
