We were extremely...
We were extremely disappointed in this experience. When we booked this tour we thought it was a tour, It was quite expensive for a bus ride to 2 destinations for which we could have taken public transportation for a fraction of the cost.

Fabulous day trip
This is a great excursion. Grouse Mountain is a beautiful place.The Gondola ride provides spectacular views en route. There was plenty to do, the Raptor show was most informative and interesting whilst the Lumberjack show was highly entertaining with plenty of laughs. Capilano Suspension Bridge was just amazing. We loved the exhilaration of walking across. The tree tops walk was less dramatic but also lots of fun. The Park is extremely well set out and beautifully maintained. There was also a great merch shop, places to grab a bite to eat and ample toilets. We had a great time. Our driver, who was friendly and welcoming provided us with good information about each stop so we knew exactly what was available. We had a great day!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic day exploring Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge and enjoyed the variety of experiences along the way. It’s also great to know that your friendly driver provided helpful information so you could make the most of each stop. We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad you had a memorable day!

A Day Full of Terrific Fun and Beautiful Views with a great driver/guide - Bobby!
Our group of 3 adults (myself 62, hubby 61, and brother 54) thoroughly enjoyed this day trip with Westcoast Sightseeing and our driver-guide Bobby! Bobby saw to it that we all had an incredible and adventure filled day. He was super personable and funny too. He explained to us that he grew up in the area, and the love and pride he had for Vancouver was evident. He asked our group if everyone would be up for a couple of extra stops so that he could show us even more of the natural beauty. Everyone was all in for the extra stops, and we were very glad that we did. It was a jam packed, fun filled day from start to finish (picked up from our hotel at 10:15am and returned back to our hotel by 5:30pm). We would not have been able to see and do as much as we did if we had tried to do it on our own. All of the activities were excellent (and there were no additional costs). The 1st bonus stop was at the Cleveland Dam - so pretty and awesome views. Then we were taken to the 1st planned stop at Grouse Mountain - the gondola ride was amazing, at the top of the summit it was so cool to see the remaining rescued Grizzly Bear Coola wake up from his nap and go about his day only so many feet in front of us, the Birds in Motion Presentation was awesome, and before we left we grabbed a quick bite at the main lodge. Next we were taken to the 2nd planned stop - the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. The Suspension Bridge and the extra activities - the Cliffside Walk and Treetop Adventure were thrilling experiences, and the entire park is set in a gorgeous temperate rainforest. Afterward, Bobby took us to the 3rd planned stop at the Capilano River Salmon Hatchery - the hatchery was very interesting, however, I really enjoyed the bonus side hike through the Capilano Regional Park (adjacent to the hatchery) - Bobby guided those of who were interested, while the others hung out at the hatchery. It was a beautiful walk on the trail and we also got to see the other side of the Cleveland Dam. Bobby made one more extra stop at the Prospect Point Lookout at Stanley Park...which gave us a chance to see even more beautiful views of Vancouver! The trip was perfect and well worth every cent of the cost. I'd happily do it again if we are ever back in Vancouver!
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a fantastic review! We're delighted you and your family had such an incredible day exploring Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge and Vancouver's beautiful North Shore. Bobby's local knowledge, humour and those special bonus stops certainly made the day even more memorable! His passion for Vancouver really shines through, and we'll be sure to share your wonderful words with him. Thank you for choosing Westcoast Sightseeing! We'd love to welcome you back for another adventure!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.
Is Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,562 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver?
+
Around 547 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Grand Bicycle Tour of Vancouver, The Stanley Park Bicycle Tour, Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
