Semesterboende i North Vancouver

We have upgraded our platform this season to a beautiful 50 foot Jeanneau Sailboat that is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We depart Mosquito Creek and motor out of Vancouver Harbour into Burrard Inlet. You will see Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and unique views of downtown from the water. Once we pass under the Lions Gate Bridge we'll set sail and enjoy stunning views of the Vancouver area, Passage and Bowen Islands, Point Atkinson, West Vancouver, Howe Sound and even Georgia Straight. Sit back and relax whilst we serve up a light snack and a selection of Beers, Ciders and assortment of alcoholic beverages as you enjoy the views of English Bay. We have water and pop available for the minors, tea and coffee as well. If you're the more adventurous type, we can put you to work and teach you the basics of how to sail, trimming the sails and even take the helm. After 2,5 hours on the water pack up the sails and motor back to Mosquito Creek and the picturesque views of Coal Harbour. We offer all kinds of other experiences if your looking for something overnight, something more private or don't see a date that works for your group. Please reach out and well do our best to create a unique and once in a lifetime experience! We encourage you to bring a wind breaker or jacket as the breezes even on sunny days can be cool.

This 5-hour guided tour encompasses Downtown Vancouver and highlights the very best sights, attractions, and biking that the city has to offer! With plenty of stops for stories, questions and photos, you'll be a local-expert by the end of your day. Beginning at our bike shop in the heart of Downtown, we'll get fitted for bikes then join the protected bikeway right outside. We'll head to world-famous Stanley Park and ride through the rainforest trails past old-growth trees, making stops at Lost Lagoon, the Totem Poles and Beaver Lake. We'll carry on past some of the hottest beaches in the city, then hop over to Granville Island, known for its arts & culture scene as well as its great food and shopping. Enjoy a break for lunch at the Public Market, with dozens of vendors to choose from. Next we'll carry on along the seawall to Olympic Village, taking in the views of Vancouver's modern architecture, before heading into the historic districts of Chinatown and Gastown. Finally we'll cruise back to the shop through Coal Harbour. Come along for expert storytelling and to learn about the history, ecology, geography, and culture of the region at a variety of scenic stops throughout the city. Leave with great local recommendations for restaurants and activities for the rest of your trip. Other things to note A minimum of two guests is required for this activity to operate. Please note: Tipping tour guides in Canada is customary and always appreciated. It's not mandatory but is the best way to show your guide that you had a great experience and encourages the exceptional service that they provide.

Prepare yourself for an adventure that balances the thrill of sailing Howe Sound's legendary winds with the breathtaking views of the Coastal and Tantalus mountain ranges. We will depart from the docks in Squamish (about 40 minutes north of Vancouver on the highway to Whistler) and raise the sails as we pass beneath the legendary Stawamus Chief granite monolith and Shannon Falls. Regardless of expertise or ability, you will learn about sailing and experience unbounded excitement as the wind fills our sails and accelerates our 40' sailboat across the waters of Canada's southernmost fjord. Take a turn at the helm or grind a winch to trim sails - the more involved you become, the more fun you will have. A dance of colourful kites await as we tack offshore in the afternoon's inflow winds. The same topographic phenomenon that makes the area perfect for sailing attracts kiteboarders from around the world. We will explore the northern section of the Howe Sound fjord and promise many photo opportunities that will stand amongst the highlights of your trip. With a little luck, we may even sight a pod of dolphins or Orcas! Welcome aboard - let's have some fun. Other things to note We respect our oceans and try to minimize our environmental impact. Please choose aluminum containers for beverages instead of plastic or glass, and avoid the use of plastic bags and plastic wrap. Tx!

We'll spend two hours exploring Stanley Park and its old-growth forests and catch sunset on the Vancouver's most popular beach. The 'walk-in-the-park' is easy, fun and safe for anyone, regardless of age. I will customize the tour based on your physical ability, venturing deep into the forest or just visiting the main spots. Your tour is a picture-perfect way to experience Canada’s nature, while learning the basics of landscape photography. With plenty of one-on-one instruction, we'll cover smartphone tips and tricks, composition and DSLR settings like aperture, shutter speed and ISO. You'll receive complimentary photos after the tour. Stanley Park, a 400-hectare natural West Coast rainforest, is a Vancouver icon located in downtown. The scenic views of water, mountains, sky, and majestic trees along Stanley Park's famous Seawall look even more stunning during the golden and blue hours. Other things to note We can agree to meet at a central location depending on transportation. Bring your own camera phone or DSLR (otherwise DSLR can be provided), water and snacks, good walking shoes and proper clothing.

You'll race an Olympic luge racer: me! We’ll race against each other and the clock (just like in the Olympics) in a virtual luge racing video game called Sleigh Champion. Between each run I will tell you a few stories and show you the pro equipment I use, including my trusty Olympic luge sled. Along the way I may even throw in a couple of life lessons learnt from years of throwing myself down a perfectly good mountain on a tiny toboggan. If you emerge victorious, you’ll have earned lifelong bragging rights that you beat an Olympic racer at luge (well, sort of). You’ll also receive a certificate that will tell all the world of your historic and noble achievement. Racers ready? Other things to note You need a laptop AND a smartphone (from which you will share your screen) to play the game. You can download the game in advance (Sleigh Champion) Before we start we will clear all the cookies from the game (don't worry - I will show you) so that we all start on the same level and have a fair race
