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.

Relaxing view of the park. The cart driver was informed and patient. The only negative was the very noisy children sitting behind us.

I was born and raised in Vancouver but learned so much about the park and city on this wonderful tour. It takes about an hour and the pace is leisurely. Carriages are covered for protection from the sun or if any rain occurs. Warm blankets were supplied for comfort if needed. We really enjoy...

Be on time, thankful the driver rang the bell to board. Loved the communication between driver and team of horses. History stories were very interesting. Very educational.

What a wonderful experience we had! We learned the history of parts of the city as well as that of the park and its many features. The horses were absolutely beautiful and our guide was a great and humorous historian. It was the best part of our day.
