Høydepunkter
- La Vancouver tursti gå og gå på stier gjennom gamle skoger
- Lær historiene bak Deadman's Island og den tapt landsbyen Whoi Whoi
- Ta bilder av den merkeligste og mest off-beat kunst i parken
- Start og slutt på et sentralt punkt med god tid til sightseeing
- Lokal guide
- Fullt fortalt
Det som ikke er inkludert- Tips
- Møt guiden din og historiefortelleren på ettermiddagen på et sentralt møtepunkt, og gjør deg klar til å lære hemmelighetene til Stanley Park. Ta en skjult sti til sjøveggen, der du blir behandlet med utsikt over Coal Harbour og hør den avslappende historien om Deadman's Island. En rask pause gir deg tid til å se autentiske First Nations totempoler før du går tilbake til den hemmelige siden av parken. Historier om en glemt kirkegård, en tapt landsby og Stanley Parks mest beryktede forbrytelse konkurrerer om interessen med den offentlige kunsten du passerer, mens du rusler forbi hundre år gamle trær som har vokst i parken siden tiden før kaptein Vancouver seilte opp Burrard Inlet. Etter å ha sett en del av Vancouver selv lokalbefolkningen kan ha gått glipp av, ender turen tilbake på ditt utgangspunkt.

Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.

About a month after enjoying the “Lost Souls of Gastown” tour, my partner and I booked an excursion with Forbidden Vancouver’s “Secrets of Stanley Park” walking tour. Even though we’ve both patronized “Vancouver’s greatest treasure” numerous times, we felt – given our experience with the Gastown tour – that we’d likely learn something new. We weren’t disappointed!
The “Secrets of Stanley Park” clocks in at just over 2 hours and focuses primarily upon the eastern section of the park, near Deadman’s Island and Brockton Point. As you walk this area of the park, a difficult history is told about forced evictions, crime and tantalizing buried treasure! This all sounds like something out of a movie, but it happened – and right in this world renowned park – thanks to a backroom deal with the CPR. That, I admit, was surprising to learn!
Our tour, headed by Aislynn, started outside the Vancouver Aquarium, near Bill Reid’s “Chief of the Undersea World.” From here, we made our way to a fragment of Stanley Park’s recent past – the polar bear compound (see my earlier review on this site). For those born later than the early 1990s, the idea of a zoo in Stanley Park would seem foreign but, being a child of the 1980s, I do recall seeing the polar bears with my family. At the time, I probably thought it was really cool but, seeing the concrete “habitat” in the current day, it sticks out like a sore thumb and its inhabitants likely weren’t happy (dark secret #1).
We then wandered along one of the trails, coming upon a pile of stones, which were apparently from the Seawall restoration project. Of interest here? One of the stones had an inscription . . . you see, as the Seawall was being built, old tombstones were used in part of its construction (dark secret #2). But that’s not all. The general area in which we were standing constituted part of Vancouver’s original Pioneer Cemetery (see my earlier review on this site). It’s kind of eerie to know that, as we enjoy the Seawall, there just might be some bodies underneath our footsteps . . .
As we made our way towards Deadman’s Island (well, within the vicinity), we talked about the alleged $28,000 of treasure buried in Stanley Park, near the cricket pitch (dark secret #3). We then talked about the dark history of Deadman’s Island before moving on to the impressive Shore to Shore sculpture and the Brockton Point totems. It is here where, in my view, the “dark secrets” of Stanley Park really come into focus: Forced evictions of minorities and First Nations, all done in an underhanded way. Some of the evictees used loopholes to stay at their traditional homes a bit longer, but the state ultimately won. Indeed, there are a lot of memorials and plaques in and around Stanley Park, but there isn’t much to commemorate this story . . . and that’s sad.
While some of the material was fairly heavy, our tour guide, Aislynn, told the narrative well and used humour where appropriate to “lighten” this darker side of Stanley Park. In something of an ironic twist, while Stanley Park is beautiful and lauded by many, it is indeed surrounded by the tombstones of the dead!
If you get the chance to take this tour with Forbidden Vancouver, do it! It opens a whole new window upon Stanley Park.

Glenn gave us an excellent tour! Highly informative and engaging, he varied his sources, themes, and stories as the tour progressed -- but the story was clearly brought together at the conclusion, definitely proving the importance of Stanley Park and how its history relates to the history of Vancouver itself. Very persuasive, very detailed, and great storytelling!

Our tour guide, Glenn, was very knowledgeable about the history of Stanley Park, Vancouver and the original First Nation residents. Of equal importance were his story telling skills. Glenn was very engaging and welcomed questions, while encouraging participants to share their knowledge as well. This tour was very informative and fun!

Fascinating and informative tour of Stanley Park with insights into the founding of Vancouver, uncomfortable truths of the appropriation of Stanley Park from the indigenous tribes, and insights into the ecology of the park. Glenn was the best of guides!

I love learning new things about places I have been many times and never knew the history. As a local I feel like a tourist everytime I go on a Forbidden tour. I like to take the tour and then leave the rest of the day open to further explore the area we just walked through. Our guide always has recommendations of places we might like to check out. I love that about the tour because it makes for a more connected community. I always leave feeling like I've just come back from a relaxing vacation.

I did find out the starting point which is at the Vancouver Aquarium 845 Avison Way and to meet in front of the whale statue. Is this still the meeting place as the Aquarium is still closed?
