After breakfast take a stroll down to Stanley Park along the waterfront until you get to Denman Street. Here you're spoilt for choice for bike hire. Get a bike, grab a park map and off you go, worth every dollar

We found the Hop on Hop Off Tour a great way to see Stanley Park as the bus driver provides lots of interesting information about the park and you can get off at stops and then wait for the next bus to come along. At the most we waited about 10 minutes. We stopped at the Totem Poles and then... More

The seawall is probably the coolest thing to do in Vancouver. Don't miss out on it! Really great views of the ocean and shipping channels and an all-around pleasant atmosphere make it the must-do of the area.

We hired bikes this time & cycled the seawall. We have also gone around the park in a car & motorhome in the past. We really enjoyed going around with the bikes, spectacular views & a nice sea breeze. Bike stands are plentiful.

Enjoyed the scenery. Nice seeing all the families out enjoying the sun. We spent a few hours just wandering about and having an occasional seat to lap up the scenery.

neat place to view and walk around in. Flowers were pretty and well worth the walk as one of the sites in Vancouver.

Because it was thunderstorming, I was only able to take a trolley tour around the park. No one wanted to get off the trolley because of the downpour, so we just rode around it and stopped at sites with narration provided by the driver. This tip of land off of downtown Vancouver is really a rain forest. Gorgeous. It's surrounded... More

there is lots to see in stanley park and it is a beautiful park that both the locals and tourists like to visit. it is quite a distance between the attractions but there are shortcuts to be had if you know where to look. the most out of the way attraction is the totem poles which are disappointing. the park...

We had a great walk around the park along the seawall. 5 miles/8 km, but it felt like far less as there was something interesting to see the whole way. A lovely place, and a nice escape from the noise of the city. Definitely worth a visit!
