Several chosen tours outside the city through picturesque countryside of British Columbia. A visit to Olympic Village in Whistler, Victoria gardens or Capilano Suspension Bridge guarantee fun and adrenaline within the best Canadian landscapes.
The nearby town Victoria had its time in the history as a capital of British Columbia, the prosperous city during Gold Rush years, but now it is surpassed with number of the people by Vancouver, the present capital city.
Capilano Suspension Fun
Still Victoria is a cozy little seaside town with hundreds of flower balconies and pretty cafe tables on quiet streets.
The tour to Whistler leaves the city via the famous Lion’s Bridge and on the way passes by falls Shannon and Brandywine.
Whistler is the prime Canadian ski resort, but it is worth to pay a visit regardless of the season. During the summer time you can get use of the panoramic railway route and the gondola cable to the top of the mountain which provides fun during winter months.
The retreat to the natural landscapes are provided by tours to Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain.
Capilano Suspension Bridge hangs around 70 m above the river and crossing it gives the thrill comparable only with that experienced by Indiana Jones escaping rouge players.
Grouse Mountain features the panoramic views of Vancouver and stunning views of British Columbia landscape.
It is possible,but rather tiring to conquer the mountain with the tradional walking approach, but much easier is to use Skyride, the cable car.
