Step aboard one of our old-fashioned horse-drawn vehicles and meander in comfort through the natural beauty of Stanley Park, Vancouver’s #1 attraction. Relax to the gentle clip clop of the horses’ hooves and take in the fresh scent of cedar and the sea as a professional guide fully narrates your one-hour tour featuring Deadman’s Island, Vancouver’s harbour, Girl in a Wet Suit Statue, S.S. Empress of Japan Figurehead, the Lions Gate Bridge, a coastal Red-Cedar Forest and the Rose Garden, with a stop at the famous Totem Poles.
You can take a bus tour anytime, but how often do you get a chance to see the sights by horse-drawn carriage? Horse-drawn tours are pet friendly, covered in case of rain and provide lap blankets when needed; some tours are wheelchair accessible. For further information about wheelchair accessibility, please contact our office at 604-681-5115 prior to your visit.
