Salmon, Suspension Bridge and Grizzly Bears. Great outdoor adventure after our cruise. We spent time at the salmon hatchery and then did a short hike to see the damn that caused the need for the hatchery. Next off to the suspension bridge where we had plenty of time to walk across the bridge and experience the tree top adventure and then the cliff walk. We ended the day on Grouse Mountain where we saw the grizzly bears, Grinder and Coola. Walked some of the trails and then warmed up in the theater seeing the movie about the bears. Sean our guide was awesome telling us what there was to see at each attraction and giving us plenty of time to see everything at each site and got us to the airport in plenty of time for our flight. Perfect way to get fresh air, activity and see some of what Vancouver has to offer before the long flight home.
Amazing excursion!

This was an amazing day excursion! However, please be aware that if it is booked as a post cruise excursion the waiting time is long until pick up. We waited outside in the cold wind with our luggage for 2 hours and took turns going for a walk and finding a public toilet. I would suggest asking beforehand if there was a warmer pick up point. Also we had to trek our luggage across the busy road and to the next street. Despite the cold and wait, we LOVED our day out. The salmon hatchery was fascinating and the surroundings gorgeous. The Capilano Suspension bridge did NOT disappoint! The setting was picture perfect and the views stunning. It was wonky walking across, but satisfying and safe. I enjoyed the tree top walk and walking the cliffs.A fabulous way to observe the trees from up above. Just when I had thought we had seen the best views we were taken to Grouse Mountain. This was my favourite part of the whole day! We all boarded the gondola to glide up the sheer mountain top, whilst being treated to the most stunning views of the forest, river and bay. We were transported to snow and more walking uphill to the grizzly bear enclosure. Wow! Wow! It was incredible to see those 2 bears!! One was a definite show off and seemed to be posing for the cameras aimed at him!
Great post cruise excursion!
