Vancouver Shore Excursion: Pre-Cruise North Shore Tour with Port Drop Off

Vancouver Cruise Terminal, Vancouver, Canada

Start your Vancouver half-day pre-cruise shore excursion with a drive over the Lion’s Gate Bridge, a 5,890-foot (1,823-meter) suspension bridge that offers unparalleled views of the harbor, English Bay and beyond. Once you get across the North Shore, it is a short drive up the mountain to the Capilano Fish Hatchery (11am departure only). Learn about the life cycle of salmon and watch them (in season – July and August) as they leap their way upriver.

Next, head to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Meander among the towering trees of this temperate rainforest and learn the traditions of the indigenous First Nations’ peoples. Then walk across the 446-foot (136-meter) bridge to the other side of the river, where you can climb to the canopy and stroll through the Treetops Adventure walkway high above the canyon and river below. For those seeking a more thrilling adventure, try Clifffwalk, the newest attraction at the bridge. This heart-stopping journey will take you through the rainforest on a series of suspended walkways jutting out from the granite cliff face to unexplored territories of the park.

At the Grouse Mountain Skyride, take the tram to a 3,937-foot (1,200-meter) viewpoint above the city and enjoy nature’s spectacular view. In the summertime, amble along the mountaintop meadows and witness the Logging Sports show. Get up close to grizzly bears with only a thin wire fence between you and them. On top of this beautiful mountain on a clear day, you can see Mount Baker and Vancouver Island off British Columbia’s coast.

When your tour is over, you’ll be driven to your cruise ship terminal, where you and your bags will board your ship.

We would highly recommend this tour to anyone going on a cruise out of Vancouver. From start to finish it was exceptional. Our tour guide, Paul, was absolutely superb! Friendly, helpful, knowledgable. Could not have asked for better! The company picking up our luggage at the hotel and delivering it to the cruise ship for us was a real help. Then they drop you off right inside the cruise terminal. Could not have been better. Also loved the places the tour took us to. Each stop had adequate time to get a real feel for what they had to offer. Will definitely do it this way again on our next cruise.
