The Lost Souls of Gastown Tour – Best Vancouver City Tour for History

Location:  Gastown | Length: 1.5 hours | Cost:  From $37.80 CAD

Gastown is the most historic neighbourhood in Vancouver, hands down.

Its cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways hint at a feisty frontier town, not a cosmopolitan city of millions. The first building there was actually a pub built by loggers who were paid in whiskey.

Loggers, whiskey, you see where I’m going with this – this is the top of our best walking tours of Vancouver .

Throw in the Great Vancouver Fire, some smallpox outbreaks, and tales of revenge and redemption , and we’ve got the makings of a delightfully macabre Vancouver walking tour .

I like this one for groups seeking city tours as it’s arguably the most social Vancouver tour , and it offers lots of hidden gems.

The Stanley Park Bike Tour – Top Stanley Park Tour

Location: Stanley Park | Length:  3 hours | Cost:  From $103.50 CAD

Stanley Park is one of the most fabulous urban parks in the world, and it stands out because it’s not the byproduct of any fancy landscaping. It’s exactly as nature left it – with about half a million trees .

The park has the Vancouver Aquarium , is home to breathtaking First Nations totem poles , and counts some amazing panoramic city views along the Stanley Park Seawall .

This is one of the best bike tours of Vancouver , and you’ll weave through old-growth forest trails ,  learn all about local flora and fauna, and learn the Coastal First Nations history of life before the settlers came.

Wanting to leave the bike aside? Check out our top Stanley Park tours for other methods.

Vancouver Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour – Best City Tour for Cruisers

This is one of the top Vancouver nature tours, whether you’re grabbing their half-day tours or their full-on  day trips from Vancouver that’ll take you all the way to Victoria .

What I love about their half-day whale-watching tour is that it departs right from Granville Island aboard the Salish Sea Freedom – the biggest, fastest ship in the fleet that’ll have you on whale grounds in a hurry.

The chance to see orcas and humpback whales in the wild on the top Vancouver whale watching tours is true bucket list stuff.

There’s a 90%+ sighting rate, and if they don’t deliver, you’re allowed to come back another day.

  • Pre Cruise Tours
  • Post Cruise Tours

Get picked up from your hotel for one last tour before you depart. Use your cruise line baggage tags, and we’ll take your luggage directly to the ship for you. This way, when you’re dropped off directly in front of the cruise ship terminal, your luggage is already looked after.

Keep your boarding passes, passports, and any other medications/items with you that you might need throughout the day.

  • Pre-Cruise Vancouver City Highlights Tour:  The best way to see our beautiful city. See highlights like Stanley Park, Granville Island, and Chinatown in just one day.
  • Pre-Cruise Peak & Canyon Tour:  This half-day excursion includes stops at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and Grouse Mountain Resort.

Both of these tours finish at 2:00 PM, so we will have you at the cruise ship terminal in plenty of time for your cruise ship check-in.

Post-Cruise Tours:

Skip the taxi lines, and see this beautiful city as soon as you disembark the ship, and before hotel check-in.

We secure your luggage on board the bus and at the conclusion of your tour, you will be taken to your hotel later in the afternoon, just in time for check-in.

  • Post-Cruise Vancouver City Highlights Tour:  The best way to see our beautiful city. See highlights like Stanley Park, Granville Island, and Chinatown in just one day.
  • Post-Cruise Vancouver Delights Tour:  This combination tour showcases everything on our Post-Cruise Vancouver City Highlights Tour while also taking you to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Capilano Fish Hatchery.
  • Post-Cruise Whistler Tour:  Features the scenic Sea to Sky Highway, and its main attractions, including the Shannon Falls, the third highest waterfall in British Columbia.
  • Post-Cruise Mountain Discovery Tour:  Stops at the Capilano Suspension Bridge, Capilano Salmon Hatchery, and Grouse Mountain Resort.

Meet your Landsea Tours representatives dressed in blue and looking for you in front of the cruise ship terminal at Canada Place. Once you disembark your ship and clear customs, please proceed to the street level entrance of the Vancouver Convention Centre East (approximately a five to ten-minute walk from where you disembark).

Same-day Flight Departure:

Join one of our post-cruise tours directly from the cruise ship terminal. Tour with your luggage securely on board and be taken to the Vancouver Airport in time for your evening flight.

We have a list of flight times that we can accommodate depending on the tour. Please contact our friendly Guest Services Team at  1-844-776-3722

Vancouver post cruise tour with airport drop-off

Cool Cruiser

I am looking for a post cruise tour in Vancouver that includes airport drop off. We do not need to be at the airport until 5 PM.

the ship post cruise excursions drop off at the airport way too early.

The other option is a hotel day room and then a cab to the airport. Do many hotels offer day room at a rate lower than a full night? That we have never done before.

thanks for any help.

The day rates are expensive too! Fairmont at airport was $350 for day I think.

we disembarked, left our bags at pan pacific hotel bellboy desk ($5 each case as we’d stayed at the hotel pre cruise). We walked round to waterfront station, bought two day passes ($8.65 each as were pensioners) but only couple $$ dearer fir regular. We took ferry over to north Vancouver, awesome little market, coffees, eats etc.

then we caught bus up to the movies (bronson st??) awesome complex. Watched the new movie we’d been wanting to see. By now it was 2.30.

we walked the 15 mins back down to Canada place, picked up our cases and walked back round to waterfront station to catch sky rail to airport. (Still using our day pass). Our flight wasn’t til 10pm and we could use the lounge from 6pm so we got a nice quiet seat and had a coffee and people watched for an hour then made our way to check in.

as a side note we had stayed 5 days in Vancouver pre cruise so there wasn’t any places we still wanted to visit so our plan was to relax before 15 hr flight home.

Day cost us say $60 total including movie transport coffee & snacks 

Thanks

Yes that type of tour is available - Vancouver Land and Sea tours used to do it but MartinCath is more likely to be able to give you a more detailed outline of the options available.

  • 3 weeks later...

Our flight to the US from Vancouver Airport does not leave until 10:35 PM. Can we have access to the 

the lounge. We will get the Priority Plus for the lounge in Vancouver airport.

Milhouse

IIRC Priority Pass recently restarted their partnership with Plaza Premium lounges and there is a Plaza Premium lounge for Transborder flights to the US.  

However, I'd be cautious about timing. Some lounges only allow access starting two or three hours before your flight.  The Priority Pass site (and AMEX lounge site) indicate that there's a two hour limit which would suggest entry for you at around 8:35pm.  (However, I doubt they would kick you out if there's a delay though.)

You can try to get in early but it's probably going to be hit or miss depending on how busy it is and how early you attempt entry.  I would speculate that it would not be busy that late but my recent experience has been that lounges have generally been very busy/full overall during this summer season.  

  • 5 weeks later...

Several years ago with HAL, we took one that went north of town to a cable car up a mountain and that stopped at an artist village before getting us to the airport in plenty of time for the redeye.

martincath

Totally missed this first time around, sorry!

Yes - longer tours like the one just mentioned above still exist, and if you want to be at YVR around 5pm you have a couple of options @pmjnh - LandSea's combo of city, Cap, and the Lookout is pretty much bang on for timing (10am pickup, 4:30pm finish back at the pier, extra ~30mins drive out to YVR = arrival there 5pm or a little after) and probably costs a lot less (NB: it's priced in CAD!) than any equivalent booked through your line, who all tend to gouge heftily on the pricing in Vancouver by at the very least charging the same number but in USD... Their longer tour of the mountains unfortunately starts an hour later - 11am to 6pm, then 30mins more to YVR, so depending on your flight time it might be too close.

Westcoast offer more tours , though none are specifically post-cruise the pickup options include literally right outside the pier so they may as well be! If all you want to do is the cable car/suspension bridge mentioned above, there is a dedicated shuttle service to Squamish that will drop you off right at the base of the gondola.

Personally though, unless you really want to do Sky Pilot, Grouse, Whistler etc. even with a super late flight like @Lance1224 has I'd still recommend a self-organized day in the city. Store luggage at the Pan Pacific hotel bell desk, or prebook in one of the many shops and restos and hotels who have partnered with the various online storage services like luggagehero, usebounce, bagsort etc. (simply Google "luggage storage Vancouver BC" and you'll find all of these and more - all offer a guarantee, prices vary from about $7-10 per bag, and all have both longer lours and lower prices than the craptastic official pier storage which is $12 and makes you come back by 4:30pm!!!!).

Never been to Vancouver before? Best value tour by far is the HOHO - even with being back to a single provider, with fewer stops than in TheBeforeTimes, you still get more stops by far than with any fixed route city tour bus for less money, and being able to get off and do stuff then re-board can be looked at as a bonus. Pootle around, have a nice lunch, do the things that interest YOU most for as long as YOU want rather than what conveniently gets lumped together by tour companies who frankly factor traffic routing more than enjoyment when deciding where to stop, how long, and what just gets a drive-by!

Transit is also cheap, safe, and reliable - and for everything except buses also reliably fast ! A decent book like the most up-to-date Rough Guide and a Day Pass on transit would be about the best ~$20pp (assuming most are couples or families who would share a single book) money can buy! There are also various online apps and services, even a 'live' guide who will talk you through what you're seeing remotely, for varying costs from about $5 up - and even without free roaming data, the city provides a free WiFi network (#VanWiFi) as do Translink on their vehicles, so it's really easy to both use live maps to find your way around and messaging to split your group and meet up again for lunch, to head out to the airport etc.

Been before? Or want to burn some calories after umpteen days of cruise dining? Take a walking tour - there's a perfectly decent free option that covers a fair chunk of downtown through Toonie Tours , various paid tours on foot or bike from them and others, and if you have a decent budget perhaps even a private custom tour by foot/bike/vehicle? Toursbylocals started right here in Vancouver, many guides are signed up. There's even a free custom walking option, Stroll Buddy (full disclosure, I'm a Buddy, though as I don't get paid it doesn't feel like much of a conflict of interest!)

NB: folks with a flight after 10pm will not preclear here but instead will be stuck doing it old-school with immigration and customs processing at your first US port of arrival - so hopefully it's a direct flight homeward for you so you can try to catch some shuteye, rather than a rude awakening after a short hop over the border then hours standing around in a typical US understaffed airport hoping not to miss your connection! However bad you feel Vancouver does queues for CBP, it's a dream here compared to even most large US int'l airports in the wee small hours... 😉

Folks in this situation are well advised to eat lunch and dinner downtown - firstly it's cheaper out to the airport after 6:30pm on weekdays (weekends and holidays everything is just 1 zone all day) and secondly despite YVR touting fair pricing at their new food outlets, that's a marketing ploy as even restos with downtown and YVR branches don't have to have the same menu so they can add higher markups if they wish... YVR remains pricier to eat and drink than downtown, with far fewer options. Without preclearance, you can roll in barely an hour before your flight (most airlines demand at least 60mins early to check bags) and easily be through Check-in, Security and at the gate in ~30mins - late evenings are SO much quieter than the morning peak hours folks heading straight from the pier face!

There is a weird relationship between AMEX and Plaza Premium in Canada.  I usually show my AMEX Canada Platinum card to get into Canadian Plaza Premium lounges.  I have never had an issue with the 3 hour limit.  They don't list an 2-3 hour limit on the AMEX website.

If you use the Priority Pass card then there is a 3 hour limit in most lounges.

At Vancouver Airport there are Plaza Premium lounges in all three zones.  Two lounges in Domestic, one in US Transborder and 1 in International.  There is also a Skyteam lounge in International that you can usually get into with the Priority Pass card.

What is the Priority Pass Card?  Where does one get it from?  Thanks

Priority Pass is one of many airport lounge membership programs that provides access to specific airport lounges/lounge networks they have partnerships with for you and possibly a guest.  However, there are varying membership levels with the lowest requiring an additional fee for each lounge entry to the highest providing unlimited "free" entries.  

To get a Priority Pass card, you can apply for one directly with Priority Pass.  Alternatively, some higher tier/travel credit cards provide free membership to Priority Pass such as the AMEX Platinum card (though you still have to go through the process to register with Priority Pass but not pay the fee).

Points to note:

There are other airport lounge membership programs eg. Dragon Pass.  

Some higher end/travel cards provide their own lounge memberships programs (eg. Mastercard Lounge Key, Visa Airport Companion, etc) with their own rules (eg. Certain number of free entrances vs having to pay for each entrance and guest) and what airport lounges/lounge networks they provide you access to (ie. Your lounge membership program won't get you into any lounge; only the ones they partner with).

You can also sometimes buy entrance directly with the some lounges (eg. Plaza Premium lounges).

You may have to wait to enter the lounge if it is full.  Priority (for airline specific lounges) typically goes to those having airline status or flying biz class and above.

Hmm, IDK then.  During our recent trip in June, when we used our AMEX Platinum at the domestic Plaza Premium lounge in YVR, the person checking us in was verbally going through her checks and confirmed if our flight was leaving within two (or three?) hours.  

Also, IIRC, they also checked our connecting time at the Westjet lounge in YYC and didn't want to let us in if it was longer than two hours.  Maybe I should have challenged that because I thought there was no limit for connections.  But, the Westjet lounge was extremely busy and we had to wait to get in.  They didn't kick us out though when our connection was extremely delayed.

AMEX has a deal with Plaza Premium.  You don't use Priority Pass to get into those lounges.  You show your AMEX card.   

AMEX also pays for some membership in the Priority Pass program for its members. Most Priority pass lounges have 3 hour limits.

WestJet does not have a deal with AMEX for lounge access.  WestJet does have a deal with Priority Pass.

It can also be different if your connecting.  The AMEX Centrium lounges in the US allow you to get in from 3 hours if your originating at the airport.  No limit is in place if your making a connection.

Hot deal alert: Zipair adds new Vancouver to Japan flights, prices drop

vancouver-to-japan-zipair-increases-summer-2024-yvr-flights

Zipair is increasing flights from Vancouver to Japan this summer. 

Locals can enjoy direct service between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Tokyo Narita International Airport (NRT) five times weekly starting on July 23 and continuing through Oct. 26. 

The Tokyo-based carrier currently offers flights thrice weekly service on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Starting on Tuesday, July 23, the airline will also offer flights on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Flights depart YVR at 10:45 p.m. and arrive in NRT at 12:25 p.m. the following day. On the return, flights depart NRT at 3:40 p.m. and arrive in YVR at 8:45 a.m.

After its flight on Saturday, Oct. 26, the carrier does not have flights posted between the two cities.

Zipair says it decided to increase the number of flights it offers between YVR and NRT due to "strong travel demand." It has not stated whether it will provide service on the route through the late fall and winter months. 

Cheaper flights on the Vancouver to Japan route

Thanks to the increased service on the popular route, travellers can enjoy low-cost options on several dates over the summer. 

Zipair, which is owned by Japan's flagship carrier, Japan Airlines (JAL), started selling tickets on its new Vancouver in late December 2023, offering prices starting at a jaw-dropping $680 including tax for round-trip, direct flights. 

  • Related: Everything Vancouver travellers need to know about visiting Japan

While flights don't commence until March, tickets for nearly all dates through the month are nearly sold out. But with the introduction of extra travel dates, travellers can enjoy lower prices on flights during the summer. 

Tickets start as low as $403 for direct flights from YVR. This price is about $300 cheaper than usual, according to Google Flights.

Zipair currently provides service between the Japanese capital and several cities across the United States, including Honolulu, San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles. It also flies to major destinations across Asia including South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.
