Full Description

The Capilano Suspension Bridge

The bridge is the reason most visitors come. It stretches about 137 metres (450 feet) across the Capilano River canyon and hangs around 70 metres (230 feet) above the water. The first bridge on this site was built in 1889 from hemp rope and cedar planks, and the modern steel-cable bridge still sways gently as you cross.

Many visitors search for Capilano Suspension Bridge tickets or how to get to Capilano Suspension Bridge because it is a highlight of any Vancouver visit. Crossing takes just a few minutes, but plan longer for photographs from the middle and for the rainforest paths on the far side.

Cliffwalk

Cliffwalk is a cantilevered walkway of narrow steel and glass platforms clinging to the granite cliff face above the canyon. The path is anchored into the rock at multiple points, and glass floors let you see straight down to the river below.

It is thrilling but very safe, and it is a good test of nerve for visitors who enjoy heights. Allow 15 to 30 minutes, longer if you want photographs. The Cliffwalk is included in this ticket, together with the bridge and the Treetops Adventure. Visitors who dislike heights can skip a section and still enjoy the walkway.

Treetops Adventure

Treetops Adventure takes you into the canopy of the coastal rainforest on a series of suspension bridges strung between old-growth Douglas fir trees, at heights of up to about 30 metres. The trees are hundreds of years old, and the view from above shows how the forest grows in layers.

It is gentler than the main bridge and suits visitors of most ages. Guides and interpretive signs explain the forest ecosystem, and hourly talks with a nature guide cover the rainforest, birds and local wildlife. The lower forest paths are shaded and cool even on hot days.
