The Dark Secrets of Stanley Park Tour

Discover the jaw-dropping beauty – and sinister stories – of Stanley Park. Behind those majestic forests, picturesque gardens and stunning beaches lies a history of buried treasure, shocking crime scenes, and the ghostly lore of Deadman’s Island. You’ll explore the famous seawall, dark forested trails, historic totem poles, notorious crime scenes and more! As you stroll along with your guide Glenn, Will, Aman, or Aislynn, you'll hear the inside story of one of the world's most remarkable parks.

Meeting your guide outside the Vancouver Aquarium you’ll soon venture down a path beneath towering groves of Cedar, Hemlock and Douglas Fir, some hundreds of years old -- a genuine Pacific Northwest forest experience. After a tale of long lost treasure, you’ll pop out onto the famous seawall to discover the secret history of Deadman’s Island.

At the world famous totem poles you’ll take a short break, before you stroll the seawall with its jaw-dropping views of downtown and the north shore mountains. You’ll hear the murky tales of backroom dealing that led to the construction of the park, find the long lost indigenous village of Whoi Whoi and end your tour with a shocking tale of true crime. From there it’s a short stroll back to the start point with your guide!
