Activity itinerary

Sunset Beach
  • 10m
Sunset Beach is right here. This sheltered strip of sand features calm waters, concessions, and even a grassy field for those who don’t feel like slipping into a pair of sandals! Note: This 9-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Vancouver Beach in 1-2 hours.
Burrard Street Bridge
  • 10m
We’re coming up on the oldest bridge in Vancouver, the Burrard Street Bridge. The beautiful exterior of this bridge actually hides some bizarre secrets. Hidden within the south tower is an entire stairwell, which once connected the bridge to Vanier Park. It was sealed off nearly 100 years ago, but here’s the thing… nobody knows why!
Kitsilano Beach Park
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Kitsilano Beach Park is coming up on our right. Keep your eyes open for spectacular views of the beach and English Bay. If you have time to stop, don’t miss the heated outdoor pool, which is also Canada’s longest pool at 137 metres! The pool is saltwater and is open seasonally from May to September.
Kitsilano
  • 10m
Welcome to Kitsilano! Known to the locals as “Kits,” many consider this area one of the most desirable places to live in British Columbia, especially for young professionals.
Jericho Beach Park
  • 10m
We’re about to pass Jericho Beach Park. Jericho Beach derives its name from Jeremiah Rogers, a 19th century logger who once worked in this area.
Locarno Park
  • 10m
Directly ahead is Locarno Beach, perfect for a peaceful getaway. This beach is actually quiet by law! Amplified sound is not permitted, so don’t expect to encounter many beach parties here. Park in any of the lots coming up if you want to visit, or continue driving.
Spanish Banks Beach Park
  • 10m
This beach is the most spacious in the Vancouver area. Its sandy banks stretch a mile along the far western edge of Vancouver City. Because of its proximity to the University of British Columbia, the beach attracts college students looking for a break from the books, as well as other adventurous types hoping for some good waves.
University of British Columbia
  • 10m
We’re heading towards the University of British Columbia. In many ways, the storey of Vancouver’s largest university mirrors the storey of the city as a whole, especially in regards to the university’s relationship with First Nations people.
Nitobe Memorial Garden
  • 10m
Look for the traditional Japanese garden on our left as we pass. This is Nitobe Memorial Garden, and calling it a Japanese garden isn’t just lip service. When Japan’s 125th emperor, Akihito strolled through the garden in 2009, he reportedly said, “I am in Japan” because of the authenticity of the garden.
UBC Botanical Garden & Centre for Plant Research
  • 10m
That brings us to the conclusion of our tour at the UBC Botanical Garden. From here, you can explore the famous Treewalk, or just stroll around the garden itself! If you haven’t already taken my tour of Vancouver City centre, don’t forget to give it a shot to see more of this amazing city!
