Have you always thought about joining us on an excursion in our 21-passenger, air-conditioned minibus?

At this time in the summer we are usually full on all our trips, but this year we still have a couple of spots open on two of our summer adventures.

On Aug. 11, spend the day exploring Vancouver. Discover the spectacular street-art murals scattered on Main Street, enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree aerial view of Vancouver at the Vancouver Lookout, then enjoy a delicious lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown.

On Aug. 14, fall in love with the adorable sea otters and other amazing creatures at the Vancouver Aquarium. This trip also includes a scenic drive around Stanley Park.

Call 604-541-2199 to book your seat.
