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.

Nice was to see the park without walking - The guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the Park, the plants and animals living there and about history of Vancouver. The driver treated the horses with care and respect. There is a short stop at the Totem Poles. Nice views throughout the tour. Tours Run every 30 minutes and there was no wait for a seat.

A great 1 hour tour. - A great 1 hour tour of the park. Saw all the prime spots in the park. Relaxing, informative, and enjoyable. Highly recommend if you don't have a car, we used Lyft to get there and walked afterwards to lunch just a couple blocks outside the park.

Underwhelmed. - I had high hopes for this tour based on other reviews but it really fell flat. I had hoped for a more comprehensive tour of the park but it covered just one corner of the park. The other disappointing aspect was the narration. It was very rehearsed and almost robotic as you can tell that the driver has repeated it many many times. I was very glad to hear about the care of the horses as they seem to make their care a top priority. Foe the price - which is rather pricey for an hour - I would suggest finding something else.
