Start the day with a breakfast that you can feel good about at Forage, a farm-to-table restaurant serving locally sourced ingredients.

Freshly fuelled, it's time to experience Vancouver the way the locals do, on two feet. City Running Tours will take you on a guided tour of the downtown core, soaking in the city skyline while working up a sweat at the same time.

After a stop at your hotel to shower and refresh, it's time to leave the heart of the city and immerse yourself in nature.

Rockwood Adventures will pick you up from your hotel and take you on a forest bathing tour where you'll experience the rejuvenating effects of "Shinrin Yoku" among the millennia-old canopies that criss-cross the city's North Shore. Surrounded by natural beauty you'll feel the stress slip away as you listen to crashing waves and the whisper of the ocean breeze among the old-growth rainforest of Lighthouse Park.

Relaxed and rejuvenated, return to downtown for a stroll around one of North America's most walkable destinations. From the boutique-lined cobbles of the city's historic Gastown neighbourhood to the bustling bars and cafes of Yaletown, friendly local neighbourhoods are just steps away.
