For all tours, meet at Canada Place in downtown Vancouver

All of our tour buses depart from Canada Place, unless otherwise specified.

Please approach any West Trek / Discover Canada Tours staff and we will check you in to start your tour. We dress in bright green, so don’t worry, you won’t miss us!

Please arrive at the departure point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. The tour bus cannot wait past departure time, and if you miss it, we will not be able to provide a refund.

Note: For the duration of World Cup 26™ games in Vancouver (June 11-July 7), please allow extra time to get to the tour departure point for your tour.

For all tours, we do not offer hotel pickups or pickups outside of the designated departure point. This allows us to save time and invest it in your adventures, and to offer the most competitive prices in the market.
