Discover Vancouver’s hidden gem with a guided Oceanside Hike that takes you through one of the city’s last remaining old-growth forests. Walk beneath towering thousand-year-old conifers as you explore a lush coastal temperate rainforest, feeling like you’ve stepped back in time.
Your adventure leads down scenic trails to the Pacific Ocean, where you'll see stunning views of Vancouver’s skyline framed against Mount Baker’s volcanic peak — the very scene that inspired the company logo. Along the waterfront, admire arbutus trees overhanging the water, adding to the breathtaking scenery.
