Half Day Tour of Stanley Park and its Gardens

On this tour, we will experience one of the world's finest parks with 1,000 acres of west coast rain forest, manicured lawns, lush gardens, quiet trails, stunning views and beautiful beaches. Stanley Park has been the territory of the Coast Salish people of three local First Nations: the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh. Many of the natural formations in Stanley Park have important First Nations stories and relevance. The Coast Salish artwork seen in the park reflects the history of the land and the people who lived here, as well as in the surrounding regions. But besides this cultural significance, there are many glorious gardens throughout the park to entice your eyes! Rhododendron Garden blooms from March to early summer, while The Rose Garden has grown to over 3,500 shrubs, at their best from June till October.

-We’ll start with a pickup from your location and head to Stanley Park. -Once there, we will stop at the Brockton Point Interpretive Centre and spend some time admiring the Totem Poles. -Next stop will be at the Brockton Point Lighthouse, where we'll take in the splendid view of the magnificent North Shore Mountains across the Burrard Inlet. This spot for me is like watching a cast of characters passing by: either on foot or bicycle or boat or even flying overhead in a float plane. -Afterwards, we'll reach the Prospect Point Lookout to gasp at the view overlooking the Lions Gate Bridge towards Ambleside Beach in North Vancouver. -We will continue to the Rose Garden, and then visit the Perennial Garden. -Later, we'll meander around the Stanley Park Pavilion and the Malkin Bowl. -Finally, we'll visit the Shakespeare Garden. -At last, we'll return to your accommodation and say our goodbyes.
