Stanley Park: Electric Scooter Tour with Local Stories & Juice

Summary

Electric scooters through Stanley Park’s trails with totem poles, Prospect Point views, and local fruit stops

You’ll ride electric scooters along Stanley Park’s winding trails with a local guide, stopping for stories at Brockton Point’s totem poles and pausing at Prospect Point for sweeping views. Expect fresh juice and seasonal fruit included—and moments where Vancouver feels surprisingly peaceful beneath those giant trees.

What’s the experience like?

I wasn’t totally sure about riding an electric scooter in Stanley Park at first—my balance isn’t exactly Olympic-level—but five minutes in, I was grinning like a kid. Our guide, Li, met us by the seawall (right where you can smell pine needles and salty air mixing), checked if we’d rented the right scooters (you have to do that before), and then just sort of set the mood by pointing out a heron fishing near the water. Vancouver mornings are weirdly quiet for a city—except for the seagulls yelling at each other overhead.

We zipped along shady paths under those huge Douglas firs. At Brockton Point, Li stopped us by the totem poles—he told us which nations carved each one and how some of them are still pretty recent. I tried repeating a Squamish word he said (Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin—probably butchered it). There’s this mix of tourists taking photos and locals jogging past like it’s just another Tuesday. The light kept shifting through the trees; sometimes you’d get this sudden patch of sun on your face, then back into cool shade. It felt kind of timeless.

Prospect Point was our last big stop—everyone pulled out their phones for that view over Lion’s Gate Bridge, but honestly I just wanted to stand there for a minute. You could smell coffee from the café up there mixed with cedar sap. We got fresh juice (included) and some fruit slices—nothing fancy but somehow perfect after riding awhile. I still think about that view sometimes when I’m stuck on transit back home—you know?
