With so many natural features on Vancouver's doorstep, locals seem to embrace adventure every weekend in the mountains or out on the water. The options of hiking and water-skiing in the summer are matched with snowshoeing, skiing or boarding in the winter. There's something special about breathing in the rich smell of cedar trees or a briny oceanfront that makes an adventure all the more enjoyable. Biking around the 9km/5 mile Stanley Park seawall is a favourite for many, as is biking through the inner trails of Stanley Park passing by 600-year old trees. There's an option of taking a stand-up paddle board or kayaking around the inner harbour while dragon boaters race by and ocean swimmers take off from the beach. For those looking for more speed, zodiac tours cruise along the shoreline while paragliders take off from the peak of Vancouver, Grouse Mountain. Alternatively, if you'd like your adventure to have a touch of history, visiting Canada's oldest wooden roller coaster at Playland might be your style. The outskirts of Vancouver also offer rock climbing, river rafting, zip lining and bungee jumping.
