The experience

The day starts with a pickup from your downtown Vancouver hotel and a drive across the Lion's Gate Bridge into North Vancouver. From there you hike the Baden Powell Trail for 1.5 hours through Lynn Canyon Park, crossing the 150-foot suspension bridge that spans the canyon before looping back through the lush rainforest. Along the way your guide points out details about the local ecosystem and the First Nation peoples who have inhabited this land for thousands of years.

The second half shifts to cycling. You travel to Pitt Meadows, where you ride the Trans Canada Trail: the longest recreational trail in the world, stretching from Canada's East Coast to the West Coast. This section is exclusive to this tour operator. As you cycle 17 to 25 kilometers, you pass views of Golden Ears Provincial Park and Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. The route is flat and manageable, designed for people with basic fitness who want to move through the landscape without strain.

Lunch and bottled water are provided during the tour, and you can request a vegetarian option when you book. The bike and helmet are included, so you arrive ready to ride. By the end of the afternoon, the bus returns you to downtown Vancouver where you started. The whole experience stays under 12 people, keeping the group small enough that your guide can answer questions and the pace stays steady without feeling rushed.
