The natural splendor of Vancouver entices many to take a closer look. Expansive vistas abound from the magnificent Capilano Suspension Bridge and Vancouver Lookout at the Harbour Centre. Whale-watching cruises and Ecotours allow visitors to closely explore and experience the area's wildlife, majestic mountains and ancient forests.

No tour of Vancouver's landscape is complete without a visit to the VanDusen Botanical Garden, a living testament to the vast ecological make-up of the area and perfect balance of man and nature. More than 55 acres of cultivated land boast over 255,000 plants and more than 65 species of birds.
