Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Connecting with nature, it’s not just our specialty, it's our philosophy! For the adventurous, we have an array of exhilarating outdoor experiences, be it close to the city or way out there. Year round we offer calm water fully guided fishing charters and wilderness eagle viewing jet boat tours less than ½ hour from Vancouver. OUR PHILOSOPHY When we first started, our business was based on the three simple things we shared with all of our clients; a love for outdoor adventures, the joy of entertaining friends and a need to share our home in beautiful British Columbia. This became the foundation for the many extraordinary years to come. OUR COMMITMENT We are dedicated to providing every client the opportunity to fish the most productive rivers in the world and tour the most exclusive and pristine areas British Columbia has to offer. Further we strive to make every client feel welcome, comfortable, safe, and to provide the highest level of service and quality in everything that we do. That is not just a statement but rather an agreed upon commitment that each member of the team at Lang's Fishing Adventures is devoted to. CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY From the start Lang's Fishing Adventures has upheld a deep commitment to well defined corporate responsibility objectives that focus on wildlife conservation, rehabilitation and habitat restoration. This is further paired with direct community development initiatives that include youth outdoor adventures, recreational facility enhancement and Fraser River clean-up programs. Thanks in large measure to the support of our clients!

North America's third-largest park draws eight million visitors per year, many of whom may skate or walk past you on the Seawall, a scenic, 5.5-mile path running along the water on the park's perimeter. It's just one of many trails among the park's 1,000 acres, which also house an aquarium, nature center and other recreational facilities.
Rented bikes from Spokes and spent 6-7 hours here. Thoroughly enjoyed it all, including biking along the seawall/causeway and interior paths, exploring the woods, visiting the Aquarium, and having a leisurely meal at Prospect Point with its great views of Lions Gate Bridge. Signage in the park is not always clear. Sometimes it is difficult to discern whether a path/trail is open to bicycles, and finding certain points of interest isn't always straightforward. I had to backtrack on various occasions, but that is part of the fun of exploring. I highly recommend spending several hours to enjoy and uncover the various sites and scenes.

Explore traditional and contemporary art from Northwest Coast First Nations and other cultures across the world. See magnificent Indigenous carvings, weavings and contemporary artworks in a spectacular building overlooking mountains and sea. Admire the world’s largest collection of works by acclaimed Haida artist Bill Reid, including his famous cedar sculpture The Raven and the First Men. Explore the Museum’s Multiversity Galleries where more than 10,000 objects from around the world are displayed. Stroll the Museum Grounds, where monumental Haida houses, poles and Musqueam house posts capture the dramatic beauty of traditional Northwest Coast architecture and design. Enjoy a wide range of special exhibitions and public programs, including free guided gallery walks. Visit the MOA Shop and relax in Cafe MOA. MOA is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people.
After visiting the Bill Reid Gallery I was told that to understand and appreciate First Nation’s history and culture I should go to the MOA. The museum is huge (and architecturally impressive) and features roughly a dozen galleries. Here, you will find totem poles, historical and contemporary Indigenous art, a 600-piece ceramics collection from the 16th-19th centuries, thousands of objects from around the world, an enormous and stunning Bill Reid sculpture housed in a former gun turret, two Haida houses, Musqueam posts and so much more. The staff is approachable and very knowledgeable, answering several questions I had. I happened to visit while a Diwali festival was taking place featuring dancing, henna painting, tea and sweets and more. There is a small cafe on the premises offering coffee/tea, soups, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. Price of admission is reasonable (adult is $17) considering the size and substance of the museum’s collection. I spent over three hours here.
