GREEN SPACES
The signature green space of Vancouver , Stanley Park , can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways . Stroll the vibrant rose garden and pause to inhale the fresh scents of over 3,500 rose bushes . Rent bikes and pedal along the 5.5-mile seawall that circles the park , enjoying views of the water while keeping an eye out for harbour seals and the four pairs of bald eagles who call the park home . A horse-drawn carriage tour takes you past a display of totem poles contributed by First Nations artists . Or get a bird ’ s-eye view of the park and its peninsula from a seaplane . Flights depart from a terminal located near both the park and the cruise port .
Since 1889 , the Capilano Suspension Bridge has transported visitors across the Capilano River into a red cedar rainforest ecosystem . Now a treetop adventure with cliffside walks and elevated lookouts , guests can venture deep into the old growth forest complete with a bird-of-prey sanctuary . If you ’ ve got a bit of time in Vancouver before or after a cruise , you can arrange tickets that include shuttle service from the Canada Place terminal area .
