What to expect

Begin by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will serve as your personal navigator, storyteller, and digital map throughout the drive. Next up, you’ll pass tranquil Sunset Beach with its calm waters, variety of concessions, and grassy field.

As you keep driving, you’ll come to the historic Burrard Street Bridge, the oldest in Vancouver. Hear some of the secrets behind this structure, including a hidden stairwell and the thieves who plundered it during the Great Depression. Your journey next takes you to the swanky Kitsilano neighborhood, particularly popular among young professionals. Here you’ll learn about the big names who’ve lived here, like Ryan Reynolds.

As you keep driving, you’ll also learn why Vancouver’s such a hot filming location and hear about some popular movies and shows shot in the city, such as Twilight and Final Destination. The journey takes a more tranquil turn with a visit to the Nitobe Memorial Garden. Here, you’ll hear the story of its namesake. Learn how he sought to promote a better understanding of Japanese culture in the West.

Then swing past the Greenheart TreeWalk, where visitors navigate suspended walkways and canopies up to 20 meters high while taking in views of the city’s majestic trees! The journey comes to an end at the University of British Columbia’s Botanical Gardens.
