Vancouver is a very health conscious city. It is common to see the fascination among many West Coast Sightseeing guests over how many locals are running, cycling, and being active. Some of our own active guests who took a Vancouver Urban Adventure Bike Tour got up close to an interesting event taking place at the Olympic Cauldron at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
A few hundred people gathered in the square to practice Taoist Tai Chi.
This event was to promote awareness on healthy living and the unique
practice that many Vancouverites utilize to it’s maximum potential.

1. The Vancouver Lookout – experiencing 360 degree views of Vancouver is truly a breath taking experience. The glass elevator
ride to the top of the tower is not for the faint of heart. The Lookout will impress, excite, and enlighten you on all Vancouver has to
offer from a birds eye view.
2. The Vancouver Aquarium – Dive into some of the most fascinating sea life! The Vancouver Aquarium is among the top
rated aquariums in the world and not only does it have magnificent sea life and entertainment but also a must see 4D experience.
3. The Klahowya Aboriginal Village – This Attraction is brand new to Vancouver. It allows guests to experience an authentic aboriginal native experience. The Village is located in Stanley Park where original native inhabitants occupied the land. Some highlights of the Village include a cultural mini train ride, salmon and bannock, and Native song and dances.
4. Grouse Mountain – “The Peak of Vancouver” gives you some of the most breath taking views and photographs of the entire
city. At the top guest are entertained by Grizzle Bears, Timber Wolves, a Lumber Jack show, and more.
5. Capilano Suspension Bridge – The Capilano Suspension Bridge most likely doesn’t need much explaining. A well know
tourist attraction that is sure to make your heart beat. What you may not know is that the Capilano Suspension Bridge offers their
exclusive “Tree-Tops Adventure” where guests are guided through rope bridges high up in the trees.
Some of our West Coast Sightseeing Tour Buses were re-routed Sunday for the Gastown Motorcycle Show N’ Sine. From drag racing bikes to Harley’s to road bikes to tricked out choppers, Gastown was packed with amazing two wheel machines. Whether you’re a bike enthusiast or not the atmosphere was vibrant with live bands and acts even getting some of the “Bad Ass” biker’s shaking their hips.
The three best bikes will be shown on the Drag Specialties/Parts Canada website at www.partscanada.com between September 1-30, 2010 where YOU will be able to log in and vote for YOUR favorite bike. The bike with the most votes will be named their “2010 National Best in Show” Champion and will win a set of tires, valued up to $500.
All proceeds from the ballots purchased at this event were donated to the Association for Injured Motorcyclists (AIM)- Vancouver.
West Coast Sightseeing will be looking into putting one of our buses on 2 wheels for next years event… Think it’s possible?
Today West Coast Sightseeing and Vancouver Urban Adventures collaborated to entertain the family who refer to themselves as the “WING DINGS.” It is a tradition for the Wing Dings to gather their family from across the United States for their annual family reunion. This year Vancouver was on the list and a full day of family fun facilitated by yours truly included – transfers around the city, a walk across the Vancouver Suspension Bridge, a delicious dim sum lunch at Floata Seafood, and a customized Vancouver Walking Tour through Urban Adventures.
Many thanks to the Wing Ding family for a great day and sharing their family experience!
Yesterday we sent 3 buses full of eager tourists to Victoria on our Victoria & Butchart Gardens Bus Tour. Kate Diteljan, a Custom House Currency employee and photographer (in her past time), captured a great shot of the Inner Harbour with a West Coast bus plugged in the mix. If you can sift

West Coast Sightseeing is adding a whole new refreshing element to our tour line up! “What could that be” you ask? Well, let’s just say it involves a river, rapids, and scenic drive up to Squamish. In case I wasn’t obvious enough, West Coast is proud to present our Canadian Outback Rafting Adventure.
We will pick you up, take you on a scenic drive to Squamish, and pass you on to our Canadian Outback Rafting Partners who will guide you to the Elaho River Valley – perhaps the greatest River Valley on the planet! Rafting is pretty self explanatory but some emotions you may experience on this journey include, but are not limited to, Exhilarating, Excited, Adventurous, Nervous, and Soaked!
