Vancouver truly comes alive in the Spring and Summer, a time when locals can shed their winter coats and rain gear and bask in the warmth and sunshine. If you’re planning a stay in Vancouver during these coveted seasons, here are some experiences you simply can’t miss. 

Enjoy the Sea to Sky Gondola

Located in Squamish, the Sea to Sky Gondola offers sweeping views of the Howe Sound, coastal forests, and surrounding mountains. The scenic 45 minute drive along the Sea to Sky Highway offers stunning views as well! If you don’t have a car, transportation is available from downtown Vancouver via shuttle or public transit. At the summit, visitors can explore two walking trails, the impressive Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, hiking paths, and rock climbing. 

Bike Through Stanley Park

Exploring Stanley Park by bike is one of the best ways to experience the true beauty of the West Coast. Situated along the ocean, with lush forests and majestic mountains as its backdrop, the park’s seawall presents a picturesque 10km cycling route. Numerous scenic spots along the way invite you to pause and soak in the views, so it’s advisable to set aside at least half a day for this adventure. You’ll find several bike rental shops on Denman Street, with prices ranging from $7 to $10 per hour.
