We had a great day going to Grouse mountain. Lots of fun activities up there. Really enjoyed the birds of prey, the grizzlies and the lumberjack show was fantastic. Then off to Capilano Suspension Bridge for a fun walk across the wobbly bridge . Lots of boardwalk to explore also. The salmon hatchery was also very interesting . A great day overall.

Itinerary

Your half-day excursion into nature begins right in Downtown Vancouver: In the morning, meet your vehicle at Canada Place, and head straight to some of British Columbia’s most dramatic scenery. Before the main event, you’ll make a bonus stop at the Capilano Salmon Hatchery, where you’ll have the special opportunity to see salmon swimming up-stream.

After that introduction to nature, continue to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, with all park fees and taxes included for your convenience. You’ll have more than an hour to walk among the treetops at this popular Vancouver attraction, and capture photos of the sweeping views.

Next, this time-saving, two-in-one tour will take you straight to Grouse Mountain, another of Vancouver’s most in-demand destinations. After a ride on the Grouse Mountain Skyride (the highest aerial tramway in North America), explore mountaintop highlights from wildlife exhibitions to lumberjack shows, all at your own pace.

Finally, with round-trip transit included, this tour will end right at your original departure point.

We were picked up at our hotel at 10am and taken to another bus to meet rest of coach party. Up to Grouse Mountain first and weather was amazing and we could see for miles. The bears Koola and Grinder came out to play when we were there and were so close. Beautiful big animals. The birds of prey show was really good with lots of different birds flying to keeper. There was also a lumber jack show too which was quite funny. Lots to do and see. Gondolas run up and down all the time and we didn't have to wait long. Next part was on to Capallino Suspension Bridge. We were actually quite lucky that park wasn't too busy so there was plenty time to enjoy all it has to over. The bridge itself was an amazing experience and very wobbly but fun. Treetop walk was great too. Plenty time to do clifftop walk also. Final part was on to Salmon Hatchery. My husband is a keen fisherman in Scotland so he enjoyed the visit and we were lucky to see salmon waiting to go up through the ladder. Our driver was very knowledgeable. A must do trip for anybody thinking about a great day out. We took our own food with us although there were plenty places to eat out. Fantastic day out. We were dropped back off at hotel around 5pm......exhausted!

Nature infused tour

Anita_A, Apr 2026
We had a wonderful experience. The pick up process from our downtown hotel was completely hassle free. The stops were beautiful in nature and fun. Our driver was very informative as well. Cell phone charging in the cars would have been helpful.

Great way to spend 6 hours! So much packed into half a day. Book it!

Alan_L, Apr 2026
Very informative and fun! Short ride to Grouse Mountain. Gondola ride gives you panoramic and amazing views. Lodge at the top had a small cafe and a coffee/food area. There was also a gift shop and mountain apparel store. Short walk on paved walkway to see the bears. They had just come out of hibernation. Next we visited Cspilani bridge and treetop adventure. Very fun and scenic. Also squeezed in a fish hatchery. Our driver was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts and anecdotes about himself and the rates! Great tour

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the review! It sounds like you experienced all the highlights, from the Grouse Mountain views and bears to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and treetop adventure. We’re so glad your guide’s knowledge and stories brought it all to life and made the day fun and informative.

Enjoyable Tour

julie_y, Apr 2026
We really enjoyed our tour. The pick up locations were very accommodating. Nice not having to worry about traffic or parking. Our guide (Anthony) was very nice and knowledge, without being over the top. The time (2.5 hr) at Grouse Mt. was plenty in our opinion. We enjoyed the suspension bridge too. The amount of time there seemed about right. Stopping at the fish hatchery was OK, but not our favorite. Maybe because we are from the Pacific Northwest and have knowledge about salmon runs etc.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the convenience of the pick up locations and a stress free day without worrying about traffic or parking. Anthony is a great guide and it’s wonderful to hear his knowledge and approach made the experience enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback on the stops as well. It’s helpful to hear what resonates most with guests, and we’re glad Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge felt like the right amount of time for you.

Average day in grouse mountain

Anthony_M, Oct 2025
unfortunately it was raining on grouse mountain so advice is don't go on a wet day the bridge was good and so was the salmon hatchery our bus driver was a grumpy old man who had no people skills our ticket said pick up at 10-30 he was at the hotel at 10 and then proceeded to tell us we were late not a nice man maybe he needs a change good bus driver but thats it

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The tour officially starts at 10:30am, and hotel pickups happen about half an hour earlier so we can get everyone on time. Sorry the weather didn’t cooperate on Grouse Mountain, and especially that your experience with the driver wasn’t a positive one. We’ll make sure to follow up with the driver.

Must do in Vancouver

Phoebe_S, Sep 2025
We had an amazing day at all three of the locations included, made all the better by our driver/guide Greg. He shared his knowledge of Vancouver throughout the day which kept things entertaining and even made a detour through Stanley Park in the morning en route to Grouse Mountain. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for sharing! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed all three stops and that Greg made the day even more memorable with his knowledge and commentary.

Awesome Grouse Mt and Capilano bridge

Kate_S, Sep 2025

Great Trip

David_R, Sep 2025
This is a fun and easy day out. Two good tourist attractions, with plenty of time to enjoy what they have yo offer. You can visit both using a free shuttle from Canada Place but i would still recommend this trip, its well paced, good value and Leslie our guide was fantastic. The extra bits (vising the Salmon Hatchery, dam and bridge), along with the commentary and guidance are well worth the money.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted you felt the tour was well-paced and good value. Leslie will be happy to know his guidance made such a positive impression. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon.

Great experience.

Great tour

Bill_S, Sep 2025
Our driver and guide, Andy, was outstanding - plenty of good information and great tips for getting the best from each of our three stops. The Capilano Salmon Hatchery and Grouse Mountain (particularly the two grizzly bears) were great, but the standout on the day was the Capilano Suspension Bridge, including the tree-top and cliff face walks.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear Andy made the day so enjoyable with his insights and tips. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Fabulous trip

Patricia_M, Sep 2025
We had a fabulous Alaskan Cruise made better by this tour to Grouse Mountain and the suspension bridge. It was a fun packed day of adventure and interesting sights. Our driver-guide (Greg Booth) was superb. He was knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. If you have an opportunity make sure you ask for him!! He will make the trip a wonderful experience. He peppered us with valuable information as he drove along. His recommendations were spot on. We saw a lot in a small amount of time. This is a must do experience if you are in Vancouver!! Also this is a great trip for kids.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear your trip was made even better with our tour to Grouse Mountain and the Suspension Bridge. Greg will be thrilled to know he helped make your day so memorable. We hope to see you again soon!

Nopes

Patricia_L, Aug 2025
Our tour guide needed a shower and was rather overly fake nice. Was told while we were at the Grouse mountain we wouldn’t have time to do the ski lift with 2 plus hours left. I think because we were gay and he seemed rather controlling as a human being. We don’t need to drive by his old neighborhood several times like we are stalking an ex, overall, I’ve had way better tours.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry about the body odor issue and the confusion regarding the ski lift timing—neither is the kind of experience we aim to provide. Tour guides are responsible for keeping the group on schedule, and sometimes that means making calls others may not agree with. The ski lift alone takes around 30 minutes round trip, not including the gondola ride or walking time. He likely wanted to ensure you had enough time to return safely and wasn’t trying to be controlling for any personal reason. As for his behavior, he was doing his best to be polite and helpful throughout the tour. Whether or not that felt genuine is a personal impression, but we do appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Mike_M, Aug 2025
Our tour guide, Greg, was phenomenal. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He give us an abbreviated introduction to the city of Vancouver, recommended spots that we subsequently visited. Tour and tour guide, both are highly recommended.

Great experience, highly recommend! Greg gave us a great tour of Vancouver & Suspension Bridge @ Grouse Mtn. Catwalk on the cliffs was the Best! Beautiful Place!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for the great review! We're glad you had an amazing time exploring with Greg. The Cliff walk is definitely a highlight, we're glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate the recommendation!

Awesome tour with Bobby

Olive_T, Aug 2025
This was an awesome tour. We had Bobby who was very friendly & knowledgeable. He also took us to a few extra spots that weren't on the tour. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks for the great review! We're thrilled you had an awesome time with Bobby; he loves adding those special touches. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words. We hope to see you again!

Skip the mountain

Jackie_S, Aug 2025
Grouse mountain highly overrated. Capilano suspension bridge well worth the trip. Should be offered separately.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We do offer a Vancouver City + Capilano Suspension Bridge tour for those who would prefer not to visit Grouse Mountain.

Incredible views

Gail_B, Aug 2025
Carmen did an excellent job, he has a fun personality. We loved the suspension bridge and the treetops the best.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you had a lovely time.

Sites were Good

Michelle_J, Aug 2025
All the stops were good. We were fortunate to have a beautiful day. Grouse Mountain for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The bridge for an hour and 30 minutes. And then the fish hatchery which was a quick stop and a lot better than other reviews made it sound. Jason S. did a great job explaining the hatchery and giving the tour there. I have done a number of tours through Viator in various countries and cities. I have never missed a tour or been late for one. Even checking and double checking pick up time and location failed for this tour. I have had tour guides text and call to confirm and even experienced them calling guests if running ahead or behind schedule on pick up. With Westcoast Sightseeing it all goes through the office and is not convenient or effective.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Jason helped make the day special. We’re sorry the pickup process wasn’t as smooth as it should have been. While all communication goes through our central office to keep things organized, it’s important that this system works seamlessly for our guests. We appreciate your feedback and will work to improve.

Full day of adventure

Nathan_C, Aug 2025
We covered a lot of ground on this tour. Very informative and interesting. Gordy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend the Grouse Mountain tram ride and the Capilano Bridge.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great time at Grouse Mountain and Capilano Bridge. We'll be sure to pass your compliments along to Gordie – he’ll be thrilled to hear it!
