Tour Stops

Next stop: adventure! Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing has created an itinerary that gives you the perfect amount of time at each noteworthy tour spot. For something a little off the beaten path, ask our guides. They are always happy to show you a few hidden gems as well!
Stanley Park Totem Poles

The Stanley Park Totem Poles at Brockton Point are one of British Columbia’s most visited tourist attractions. These towering monuments are brought to life through First Nations artistry and are one of the most recognizable cultural symbols of Western Canada. Since the 1920s, the Vancouver Parks Board has been collecting intricately carved totem poles from remote locations in the province. Enjoy other First Nations’ art like “Raven: Spirit of Transformation,” which was constructed from a Douglas fir stump left after the 2006 windstorm that devastated Stanley Park.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

In Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, you’ll get the chance to take a relaxing stroll beneath the shade of its temperate rainforest. Once on the Bridge itself, marvel at the fantastic views of the Capilano River from above. For adventurers young and old, the Treetops Adventure Course connects 7 viewing platforms to 1,300 year-old Douglas fir trees. To wrap up your visit, explore the Living Forest Trail to learn stories about native flora and fauna.

On top of that, the market is brimming with arts and crafts, galleries, live music performances, and more. With a distinctive West-Coast vibe, Granville Island is a must-see destination.

Each of our tours shine a spotlight on Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler’s most iconic landmarks, neighborhoods, and natural parks while guests listen to live narration from our expert guides. The vehicles at Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing all have oversized, tinted windows, which are specifically designed for sightseeing. You won’t miss a thing!

Chinatown Vancouver

Vancouver is a wonderfully diverse place, with people and cultures from across the world rubbing shoulders happily. Chinatown Vancouver showcases this diversity beautifully, and with its bustling markets and busy streets it’s the largest Chinatown district in Canada. On your spin through this must-see neighbourhood, see the Chinese markets and coffeeshops, and admire the distinctly Eastern architectural designs. Chinatown Vancouver is also home to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden, an authentic 15th century-inspired haven of tranquility.

Canada Place

If sustainable architecture is of interest to you, your jaw will drop when you see the buildings of the Vancouver Convention Centre. Even though the original East Building at Canada Place is an impressive sight on it’s own, the West Building, constructed in 2002, is of a design that will inspire the environmentalist in everyone. You may notice the “living roof” covered in vegetation, but what you won’t see is that the building’s waste water is treated and recycled for irrigation of the roof. You also won’t be able to see the building’s LEED Platinum certification in sustainable design, or the building’s PowerSmart designation, or it’s GO GREEN certification for environmental best practices, but they are indeed all there!

Gastown

For Vancouver’s 19th-century settlers, Gastown is where it all began. This historic neighbourhood boasts cobblestone streets lined with hip boutiques, inviting restaurants and traditional First Nations art galleries — and has been entertaining residents and visitors alike for over a century. During your spin through Gastown, your knowledgeable guide shares insight into the area’s history and contemporary influence.
