Overview

Visiting this city requires that you spend at least one day experiencing the nearby natural sights. Naturalist and former chef Manfred Scholermann and his staff give a walking tour like no other. Take your pick of Lighthouse Park, Bowen Island, Capilano or even downtown itself. The guides' knowledge of the environs and of the natural environment complement these walks, so you can learn while you sight-see. Make sure you have comfortable shoes, a hat and some shades. Pickups are available at most major downtown hotels.
