Thanks to Grouse Mountain’s new Skyride Surf Adventure, thrill-seekers can channel their inner James Bond and soar through the sky while standing on top of the cloud-grazing tram (thankfully, Bond’s tram-top fight sequence is not included).

The Grouse Mountain Skyride, a world-reknowned aerial tramway (the largest of its kind in North America), is introducing a new aeronautical adventure that will have guests flocking in droves to seek the peak in a new and exciting way – from a bird’s perspective.

Here’s what you can expect from this riveting rooftop ride.

Let the adventure begin…

You’ll start by meeting up with your flight guide to learn about the inner workings of the tramway, complete with a behind-the-scenes peek at the mechanics that operate the Skyride. After a quick rundown of the rules, you’ll then pop on your helmet and head up the stairway to the rooftop platform.

Your dazzling departure…

As you stand on the top of the tram and wait for take off, you’ll notice how secure the platform really is, with its sturdy bars safely holding its passengers in place. As the Skyride departs, you’ll float smoothly above the trees, and watch in wonder as the ground below grows smaller, and smaller.

Soak up the views as you soar through the sky…

As you float higher and higher above the trees, you’ll be treated to the spectacular scenery that sits below. From Vancouver’s vivid city skyline, to the sweeping river and ocean views, to the captivating coastal mountains – a feast for the eyes while you fly through the sky.
