PICTURE-
PERFECT
KAYAKING
ADVENTURES
There's nothing like
exploring Vancouver
in a kayak – natural
wonders, exciting wildlife
and breathtaking views
are all to be expected.
Join a guided tour
from Granville Island,
English Bay, Jericho
Beach or Deep Cove
with tour companies
like Ecomarine
Paddlesport Centres,
Lotus Land Tours and
Deep Cove Canoe
and Kayak. Or try
your hand at one of
the world's fastest-
growing sports: stand-
up paddleboarding.
Paddle your way around
the city on a guided
tour of Vancouver's
skyline or enjoy a
pastel sunset from
your watery viewpoint
with Ecomarine
Paddlesport Centres.
Take in coastal Vancouver's most breathtaking sights on a
scenic flightseeing adventure by floatplane with Harbour
Air, Whistler Air or Westcoast Air – British Columbia
boasts the largest floatplane network in the world. For
many, the thrill of a floatplane ride is a novelty in itself as
they experience their first watery takeoff and landing. But
it's the view from above that truly amazes visitors as they
zoom over Stanley Park and downtown Vancouver, then find
themselves gazing down on remote snowy mountain peaks.
Another option is to hop on a helicopter with Helijet or SKY
Helicopters for a private, airborne tour of the surrounding
mountains, the scenic coastline and downtown Vancouver.
Flightseeing
Sand, surf and sun
Did you know that
Vancouver's sandy beaches,
dotting the edge of Burrard
Inlet, earned the city a spot
among National Geographic
magazine's "Top 10 Beach
Cities"? On the downtown
peninsula, English Bay is the
most popular spot, offering
the perfect vantage point to
catch a Vancouver sunset.
Second Beach, along the
edge of Stanley Park, is a
family favourite with a large
saltwater pool and kids'
playground. Just over the
Burrard Bridge is Kitsilano
Beach, a major hub for beach
volleyball. Further west, the
expansive Spanish Banks
offers a tranquil experience.
And if you're looking to really
get in touch with nature,
head to Wreck Beach –
Vancouver's only clothing-
optional beach.
