North Vancouver Day Trip: Capilano, Grouse, Seawall & Transit

Published 2026-07-19 · FanVancouver Local Desk

Mountains across the water — day-trip territory done right.

Not a Downtown neighbourhood — treat it as a half-day or full-day outing. SeaBus makes it easy without a car.

• Grouse Mountain / Grouse Grind

Where to eat & drink

• Lonsdale Quay food stalls
• Casual spots on Lonsdale Avenue
• Pack snacks for mountain queues

How to get there

SeaBus from Waterfront to Lonsdale Quay (~12 min). Then bus to Capilano or Grouse. Check last SeaBus back.
