Trolley car sightseeing in Vancouver

Enjoy the best view of Vancouver aboard a turn-of-the-century style trolley, visit the Vancouver Lookout Tower for 360-degree panoramic views of the city and check out the world-famous Stanley Park's Vancouver Aquarium on this exciting combination tour.

The Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley is your transportation link to Vancouver's major attractions, including the world-famous Stanley Park, Granville Island, Downtown, Chinatown, Gastown, Vanier Park, museums, shopping areas and more.

Take the trolley's Red Loop and Blue Loop tours. The loops combine to make 30 stops, providing you chances to hop off and explore Vancouver's many interesting sights.

Hop off the trolley at the Harbour Centre to ascend the Vancouver Lookout Tower, situated in the middle of downtown Vancouver. Take a 50-second elevator ride up to the lookout. See Vancouver through the full-circle windows. You will be able to see as far as Vancouver Island and Mount Baker in Washington state (on a clear day). The lookout tower provides video presentations and a tourist information center. Harbour Centre itself houses a food court and mall at ground level.

Vancouver Aquarium is the largest aquarium in Canada and is located in Stanley Park. The aquarium is home to more than 8,000 animals, including beluga whales, jellyfish, sea otters, dolphins, sea lions, sharks, sea turtles and sloths.

This tour now includes the second day complimentary on the trolley! This is a deal you don't want to miss.

The trolley driver will provide expert commentary about all the things you see along the way. If you decide to stay on the trolley without hopping off to explore, each loop tour will last about 80 minutes.

NOTE: The trolley does not operate on December 25 and January 1.
