A sustainable city experience

After landing at YVR, Vancouver's award-winning carbon-neutral airport, climb aboard the SkyTrain for a 26min, eco-friendly trip on the Canada Line into the very heart of downtown. Once you've unpacked, head to Granville Island. Once little more than industrial land, the island has been transformed into a vibrant cultural and culinary hub and an internationally renowned example of urban renewal and environmental sustainability.

Here you can enjoy one of Ecomarine Paddlesports Centres' kayak tours along the serene waterways of False Creek. From the water you'll see the shimmering skyline of the city, nestled among urban rainforests, glistening Pacific waters and the snow-capped peaks of the Coastal Mountains. It's a unique perspective, one that inspires us to make sustainability more than a goal, but a lifestyle.

Alternatively, head to Grouse Mountain, the peak of Vancouver, where you can ride an elevator up to the Eye of the Wind, a wind turbine that generates enough power for 260 homes.

Tonight, refuel and reflect over dinner at one of Vancouver's numerous Ocean Wise® restaurants, a conservation program which supports healthy and sustainable oceans. Then end your evening with a walk through the crisp air and clean streets of Canada's most walkable city.
