What To Expect
The touring carriages depart from the newly built and custom-designed departure station right next to the information booth for Stanley Park, overlooking Coal Harbour and the downtown core of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The friendly and knowledgeable guide narrates the tour while traveling along Park Drive, overlooking the Seawall and the ocean. Go past the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and Deadman's Island, also known as the HMCS Discovery, a Royal Canadian Navy Reserve. The ride includes a 5-minute stop at the famous totem poles. Feel free to get out and capture some great photos of this popular site. Note: Please return to the same carriage to continue the tour. The next stop is at the famous Girl in a Wetsuit Statue and the Empress of Japan Figurehead. Then the ride continues on the north side of Stanley Park with views towards North Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge, a suspension bridge that crosses the first narrows of Burred Inlet, connecting the City of Vancouver.

Lovely way to see Stanley Park

5.00The ideal way to see Stanley Park at walking pace without doing it on your own two feet. Being up higher also gives better views than a car or bicycle. Our driver and guide was clearly very competent with the horses as well as being knowledgeable about the park's highlights and history. The horses never put a foot wrong despite the inconsiderate car drivers and a couple of roaring trucks. Well worth the price.
Very nice way to see Stanley park

5.00Emily our driver (if that’s what you call her) was fantastic. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She had a fun way about her. You can tell she just really enjoys her job. Jim and Chief (our horses) were great.
Best way to see Stanley Park is by horse carraige

1.00Incredibly poor customer service. Booking system is poorly managed. Over booked carriages. We waited 3 hours for our booking. With a 1year old and completely took over our whole day. Very disappointing.
A Vancouver must.

5.00On a gorgeous September morning, we drove through Stanley Park behind two brawny draft horses, one a Percheron the other a Clydesdale. Our personable Scottish driver regaled us with Vancouver info and jokes. We loved it. We booked in advance through TripAdvisor. The horses were very good boys. An hour zipped by.
Scenic ride through Stanley Park.

5.00Excellent overview of the park with informative commentary from our driver, Steph. One stop at the totems where there is also a comprehensive gift shop (not enough time to do both during the tour). Much better price through Viator than through the park for the same tour.
Great way to see Stanley...
