Grouse Mountain & Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Fantastic well organised tour with outstanding views and informative friendly guide - thanks Kevin!!!

We had a lot of fun going to the bridge and Grouse Mountain. It was nice to see snow on the mountain.

This is a great full day adventure. We had adequate time at each location. Started at a fish hatchery, but I chose to do a little hike instead, as I wasn’t interested in the hatchery. The hike was gorgeous, along and above and across the Capilano river. I think it’s called coho loop. Second stop was at the suspension bridge. There were a lot more people there than I’d have preferred, but was still a fun experience. Plenty to see and do on this stop… felt a little like an amusement park though. Still super beautiful and enjoyable. Last stop Grouse Mt taking the skyride up. Still snow up there but not overly cold. Views were beautiful. Walked to the grizzly enclosure.. which was underwhelming and small… didn’t feel very habitat authentic for them. Also rode the chair lift to the top and back. Spectacular views. Tour operator, Graham was very knowledgeable and informative… and sometimes humorous. All in all a good tour that left me physically exhausted but emotionally full from the experience with nature.

Amazing experience, beautiful views. Very organized, guide arrived on time and called me by my name at the hotel lobby. Only wished the time spent at Grouse Mountain would’ve been reduced due to increment weather and used that time at the Capilano Bridge. There were more stores and restaurants opened, but not at Grouse Mountain. I got to see the bears thou and it was an awesome experience.

Great tour guide. The Capilano bridge was terrific. May was a little early for Grouse Mountain. A little hard to hike around because of the snow but the view was nice. We did get to see the bears though it was a little challenging to hike it with the snow.

The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and really made us feel welcomed. We would highly recommend this trip.

Blizzard conditions on Grouse mountain ! The driver was very good! Terrible rain during whole trip! Fellow customers were fun to be with

Pick up was very late, and the driver just laughed when he asked if we waited long and we said yes. The tour itself was great. Quick stop at the fish hatchery. Plenty of time at Capilano Suspension Bridge. Enough time on the mountain to have a nice lunch. The issue is with the driver. While Kevin may have seemed funny to some, we found the profanities and dirty jokes inappropriate and unprofessional. We took friends on this trip, and quite frankly, we were embarrassed. Kevin knows his stuff when it comes to the tour. He just needs to keep it clean. He can be funny without using profanity and telling dirty jokes. Judging by the posted feedback, we aren't the only ones who feel this way. He lost his tip when I asked a question about drop off and getting on another bus to go back to the hotel. I wanted to clarify that we were getting off when he stopped, and he made a smart crack, basically discounting my question. Just not acceptable when one works in the service business.

First, the pick up was unorganized and we spend over a hour to meet up with other pick up. The suspension brdge part was really good and fun filled. But Grouse Mountain for 3 hours was way too long when we are not skiing.

The Capillano Suspension Bridge and park and Grouse Mountain are both a beautiful experience. That being said, this tour includes a trip to see a salmon hatchery. I guess we skipped this stop without being told or refunded? Our time at the suspension bridges could have been longer (we had only 2 hours and also had to eat in that time frame, but never had enough time to stop and read the exhibits near the entrance or wander around much in the gift shop etc). Next, we travelled to Grouse Mountain, which is only a few minutes from the bridges. We were up the mountain quickly, but we weren’t told what to do once up there. We discovered that there were two grizzly bears to visit a short walk away through slushy snow and once back we took in the beautiful view. An hour to an hour and a half would have been plenty enough time, as once you see the bears and look at the view, there really isn’t anything else to do up there, unless you plan to go skiing. We were given 3 hours for this part of the tour. My 17 year old niece and I were growing restless, as we had a nice list of places to visit, but cabs will not come up to Grouse Mountain to pick you up. The two stops are incredible and worth seeing, but I would recommend a shorter visit to the top of the mountain. I’d also recommend telling the tour guests what to expect up there and what to do. There is a Starbucks on the lower level that you don’t see unless you go down for a walk.
