A three-day coastal and mountain circuit from Vancouver to Whistler that pairs the vertigo of Capilano Suspension Bridge with the dramatic Sea-to-Sky drive. Expect curated stops—Stanley Park, Granville Island, Shannon Falls—and optional alpine activities in Whistler.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the airport into Pacific air, windows of the van framing the city as it slips into rainforest and rock. The first stop threads a narrow canyon: the Capilano Suspension Bridge stretches roughly 140 metres across, swinging about 70 metres above the river, while the Cliffwalk clings to granite walls and the Treetops Adventure lifts you into the coastal rainforest canopy.

The Capilano crossing dates to the late 19th century and sits on Squamish Nation territory; the Sea-to-Sky corridor was upgraded for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, improving access to coastal and alpine landscapes.
Conservation
Stay on designated paths, avoid feeding wildlife and use refillable bottles—high visitation areas are managed to protect old-growth pockets and river ecology.
