Why this trip

A kayak in the morning, a playground by the sea in the afternoon: Vancouver combines nature and city in a way that suits families. Between June and September the days are long, the mountains lie snow-covered above the Pacific, and the routes between the destinations stay manageable. Stanley Park is a place for a whole day. Beaches, hiking trails and family attractions lie along the Seawall, where children travel by bike or on foot.

The Sea to Sky Gondola takes you over Howe Sound, and at the top wait trails, cafés and a suspension bridge that gives school-age children both a shiver and a laugh. It is similar at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, where you walk among the treetops. For calmer hours, the VanDusen Botanical Garden and Queen Elizabeth Park offer room to relax. Eight properties are available.

Toronto is the destination for a second leg. The flight is long, and the time difference challenges children in the first days, so plan buffer time. In the video call it becomes clear which activities suit your children's ages.
