    Used our transport day pass to get the metro, waterbus and bus to the canyon. Long walk from the bus stop. Scary suspension bridge, but lovely walks through the woods. Many people in the pools in the river. As a free visit, it was certainly worth it. The cafe was another example of places in Canada which do not take cash. Why should foreign visitors have to pay exchange rates and credit card fees on top of the cost of the items?

    Go here instead of Capilano Suspension Bridge!! I’d say Lynn Canyon offers the same, if not better walking trails. Suspension Bridge had maybe 5 people when we went, and felt more secure. Offered multiple different treks to go on, beautiful scenery and amazing waterfalls. Dog friendly

    Not for the faint-hearted but doable and rewarding! We made a last minute decision to do the Grind and so were not dressed particularly appropriately - denim jeans not our usual hiking gear!! It is certainly a test of legs and stamina - we are both in our 60s and reasonably fit and we rested a few times on the way up. It took us 1hr 52min 29secs and we proudly took our photo against the timer at the top!!

    Good day out with spectacular views of Vancouver. Took the Skyride to the top and the skilift to the very summit for the most amazing views of the city and the surrounding area. Watched the Lumberjack show which was a good show. The only thing I didn't like was the grizzly bear area, I don't really like to see animals in cages but that's a personal thing.

    I would rate this an easy to moderate hike. For someone who’s not active and was carrying a 23lb baby, I managed to do it. Lots of steps up but also some flat grounds too. It’s a well marked and maintained hike. It took me and my family 45mins to go up and 45mins to get down. It does gets little busy but people do step aside when there’s narrow paths or stop for you to pass.

    The only thing I have to say is that I found it a little more challenging going down because of the rocks and some of the big step down but aside from that it’s not bad. There is also a small playground by the parking lot too if your kids still have energy left from the hike.

    My only suggestion would be to get there earlier so you can get parking. There is a bit of street parking but that gets full too. But don’t fret when the parking lot is full, just sit in your car and wait it out. Don’t drive and try to loop back because there’s a good chance that another car will pull up behind you from pulling into the parking lot and a person will be getting into their vehicle to drive off.

    Our family of 16 arrived and were tight on time and short one ticket. Not to worry - Isaac, Jack, Brooklyn and Mahan were on it! They got us all in order, made sure our group stayed together, focused on keeping us safe but also having fun and being playful to make the kids laugh and the adults relax, and made the entire experience a blast. SO highly recommend!

    AMAZING. I was flying in the sky like a bird. So freeing. Very nice guide. He was amazing pointing out things I didn’t know existed. I did not want the adventure to end! Wonderful flying over the Capilano Dam. I highly recommend paragliding at Grouse Mountain.

    The only reference you need for exploring the outdoors in BC. John, the co-owner and Matt, my guide, were very attentive and in tune with my needs and requests. They showed a lot of flexibility and openness. A truly personal and bespoke experience. As a bonafide urbanite from the East coast, I booked this trip as a one-off to escape the pandemic, but I loved my experience so much that I am already looking forward to my next trip with Outdoor Explore Adventure.
