    Great tour and guide

    Was very interesting and enjoyable. Gondola and chair lift rides are wonderful. View from top is fantastic Joshua is a great guide and very professional

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re glad you loved the gondola, the chair lift and those views from the top. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Joshua 🚡

    Great Time

    Don't miss Grouse Mountain. We'll worth it. We were on a cruise with limited time and we made the most of it. Incredible views.

    Rainy weather blemished the day

    It was raining and foggy, therefore the experience wasn’t as enjoyable as it could have been. I was cold and wet and the lumberjack show was compromised by the weather. No views of the landscapes due to the weather.

    Response from the operator: Rain and fog hiding every view, a lumberjack show dampened by the weather, and being cold and wet the whole time is a tough way to experience Grouse Mountain, and we're sorry the day didn't give you what you came for. If you'd like to share more about your visit, please reach out through the platform you booked with so we can look into what options may be available. 😥

    A must see while in Vancouver

    We had some rain but even that didn’t stop us from enjoying Grouse Mountain. Lots to see and do - the gondola was wonderful, we enjoyed the lumberjack show and even got a glimpse of a grizzly bear. Well worth the experience.

    Response from the operator: A little rain is no match for a gondola ride, the lumberjack show, and a glimpse of a grizzly, sounds like Grouse Mountain delivered rain or shine! 🪓

    Disappointed in many closed attractions

    We came here due to great reviews and expectations were that we would have lots of great experiences and many opportunities for pictures. The park would have been great if over half of the experiences weren’t closed, which we were not notified of before or after booking. The only attractions open were the gondola, lumberjack show, an owl and the bear. I’m very disappointed. I feel that due to being only able to see less than half of what the park offered, we should receive half of a refund.

    Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.

    How much does Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola cost?

    +

    Prices start at $109 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 Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola?

    +

    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 Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola?

    +

    Around 5 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola 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.

    What is included in Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola?

    +

    Included: Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Downtown Vancouver; Small Group Tour Format (7 Guests Max); Guided Driving Tour of Vancouver, BC; and Grouse Mountain (Admission Included). Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 59 listed pickup locations in and around Vancouver. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Vancouver Grouse Mountain Express With Grouse Mountain Gondola offered in?
