Adventure
tours to Canada including Vancouver
Vancouver - A gem on the Canadian Pacific coastline,
Vancouver is one of everybody's favourite cities, managing to perfectly
balance nature with modern, cosmopolitan living. The first thing that
is apparent is its scenic setting. Placed between mountains and ocean,
the outskirts of Vancouver host numerous outbound activities such as
walking, climbing, mountain biking, and not so far away is the skiing
and snowboarding mecca of Whistler, the hikers paradise of Grouse Mountain
and the pristine beauty of Vancouver Island.
Closer to the centre is Stanley Park, a 1,000 acre urban paradise,
the largest in Canada and the pride of all who live here. Aside from
all the active possibilities, no visit to Vancouver would be complete
without catching a ferry boat to explore the markets of Granville Island,
soaking up the electric atmosphere at an ice hockey game, or strolling
the streets around Gastown.
Combine all of the above with a fine selection of top-notch restaurants,
great shopping, plenty of cultural events, and a fantastic public transport
system, you will soon see why Vancouver has earned its reputation as
a place to both visit and live.
