What To Expect

Begin your morning or afternoon biking adventure in downtown Vancouver at the bike rental shop, where you meet your friendly guide. After a quick safety briefing and a bike and helmet fitting, set off on an invigorating nature ride through Stanley Park, a 1,000-acre (405-hectare) city oasis. This park trail and bike-lane circuit is perfect for any level of rider.

Enjoy picturesque urban and pastoral views as your guide takes you into Stanley Park and along the perimeter seawall over the course of the tour. Bounded by water on three sides, Stanley Park offers great views of Burrard Inlet, the North Shore Mountains, and the Vancouver skyline. As you ride, stop to snap photos and hear fascinating stories about Vancouver’s colorful history as a logging town.

Catch chance sightings of resident herons, river otters and bald eagles—maybe even spot one of the 15 bald eagle nests in the park. Learn about the lagoon’s transformation from a tidal flat to a bio-filtration marsh, and pedal on to Brockton Point to view the amazing First Nations totems poles—a must-do for all native history enthusiasts.

Afterwards, cycle through the park’s wooded trails to explore a temperate rain forest, and to view Beaver Lake and the park’s famous 700-year-old cedar tree. Your final stop is Third Beach, a secluded city retreat on Ferguson Point. Enjoy some quiet time on the beach before heading back to town.

Your ride ends back at the bike rental shop.

Lana was fantastic and tour was so great we decided at the end of our scheduled tour to continue for the full day (extra 2 hours). Fairly easy ride, for people relatively inexperienced. Would recommend, a great way to see the city and explore Stanley Park!

Nice Bike Ride to Stanly Park

Aiko_S, May 2024

I felt bad that I made the last-minute reservation, but when I walked in to the bike shop to check-in, my bike was already ready, and the store attendants were very friendly and welcomed. We had a perfect small group (3 guests including myself and guide-Larissa). Despite of the cloudy weather, we still enjoyed the bike ride. Larissa made sure we all were safe from the point to point. She was very knowledgeable and answered to my questions. The ride was easy, comfortable and safe. I had such a short time frame in Vancouver, so this was a perfect quick tour to see a part of the city. Highly recommended!

An awesome tour that is a must when visiting Vancouver

Mick_T, Apr 2024

This tour was absolutely awesome! Frank was so informative and there was so much background on Stanley Park and areas in Vancouver. Angela did a great job on Coal Harbour and was so helpful! I would highly recommend this tour. You get to see parts of Vancouver you might miss on your own.

THE way to experience Vancouver!

Patrick_A, Apr 2024

Frank did such a fantastic job, we extended our original plan and enjoyed another two-hours and on the Grand Tour! So well done! Highly recommended! A++

Wonderful bike ride.

Incredible commentary and interesting historical facts from Greg our tour guide. Amazing scenery of Stanley Park.

Best way to get out and about

Madelyn_B, Apr 2024

Fabulous bike tour with an amazing guide. Had a ton of fun and learned a lot while riding really awesome bicycles around the city (seriously, they're brand new and ride soooo smooth). Highly recommend.

Awesome way to get to know Vancouver!

Sonia_K, Dec 2023

We had a wonderful time on the bike tour! The staff at Cycle City was kind and courteous in getting us acclimated to our rental bikes. We really appreciate their assistance. In addition, being new to Vancouver, the tour was so informative and fun! It is the perfect way to get to know the city! The bike tour is a must if you are visiting Vancouver for the first time!

Perfect first day!

Caitlyn_B, Oct 2023

Our favorite experience while in Vancouver!

Amazing fun tour

Kristine_T, Oct 2023

Book a 3 hours Stanley Park bike tour. Our tour guide German was amazing. A lot of information and history was given to us.

A lovely gentle ride

Sue_M, Sep 2023

A lovely ride through parts of downtown Vancouver and the beautiful Stanley Park. Mainly flat so not too challenging, and Frank, our guide, was very informative and built in frequent stops to talk about points of interest and to give time for us to take photos. A particular highlight was cycling into the forested area of the central park, an area that we would not have ventured into on our own. Would highly recommend.

Great experience. Katie...

michael_w, Sep 2023

The guides explanations and humor describing the tour was excellent. The ride along the water and in Stanley Park was amazing.

Excellent tour!

Darla_B, Sep 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information along the way. He always made sure we were all stopped and together before he talked so all could hear. We also had a great weather day, which was a bonus.

Fun

Vancouver via bike

Pamela_M, Aug 2023

Kim was a great tour guide. She shared interesting facts about Vancouver and made the tour very fun. Great way to be able to see the City while being active. Much better than sitting on bus.

Best bike tour!

Tara_H, Aug 2023

We saw so much of the park. More than we would have if we just went there on our own. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stanley park bike ride for those who are fairly competent cyclists

Simon_L, Aug 2023

We both enjoyed the cycle tour, especially being shown around your beautiful Stanley Park with Greg ( excellent tour guide), however as my wife and I are getting on in years and not having ridden bicycles in 20 years it was more difficult than it should have been. I would like to suggest that there should be a bicycle familiarisation time (15 minutes or so) somewhere away from the streets, where one gets to know and become familiar with their bike.

Very enjoyable trip

Elaine_H, Aug 2023

Loved this tour! Stanley Park is beautiful, we rode around the sea wall and walked through the forest. Highly recommend.
