VANCOUVER COASTAL RAINFOREST ADVENTURE
$62 Per Person

Your tour, fortunately, begins with a brief introduction to Vancouver's downtown business district, along with a ride down Robson Street, the area designated as a shopping extravaganza. You will even see the impressive residential area, loaded with restaurants and interesting architecture, before you head out to Capilano Canyon.

Actually nothing will matter once you enter this impressive rainforest with unbelievable views of the canyon below. These guides are heavy on knowledge and personality and will entertain you with their energy. The information on the survival of the fittest fascinated us and you will be astounded at the significance of some of these species in the medical field. For instance, the YEW tree, known for Taxol and Tamoxifin, will make you feel instantly young as you stand next to the oldest known to exist in British Columbia.

You are also going to venture into Lynn Canyon, an idyllic setting that provides easy hiking for city escapists. Unlike the more famous Capilano Bridge, the suspension bridge here is not crowded and hangs 50 meters above the canyon. Make certain someone takes your photo participating in that - you will only want to do it once!

Last but not least, you will visit the Capilano Fish Hatchery. Whether in season or not, this exhibit, set in the wilds of the canyon, is the perfect way to understand how nature works it's magic.
