Adventures on water Sea kayaking There's nothing like exploring Vancouver in a kayak – natural wonders, exciting wildlife and breathtaking views are all to be expected. Guided tours leave from Granville Island, English Bay, Jericho Beach and Deep Cove. Whale watching The waters off the coast of Vancouver and Vancouver Island offer some of the world's best whale watching – March through October is prime viewing time for Orcas and grey whales. Rock Climbing Rock climbing The Stawamus Chief near Squamish is a granite monolith offering rock climbers the ultimate vertical fix. Challenging climbs are also found on Vancouver's North Shore, in the deep gorge of Capilano Canyon, at Lighthouse Park and on the bluffs of Deep Cove overlooking Indian Arm. Golf It's a little-known fact that Vancouver is one of the world's top golf destinations. With everything from links-style courses to mountaintop layouts – plus a mild climate that makes golf a nearly year-round activity – Vancouver's golf courses offer a wide variety of memorable greens in spectacular settings.
