Ten Lavish Things to Do

  1. Set off from Granville Island for a whale watching excursion into the Gulf of Georgia. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for other marine creatures along the way (www.whalesvancouver.com).

     

  2. Enjoy the cityscape comfortably from the deck of an elegant and luxurious five-star yacht (www.sunsetbaycharters.com).

     

  3. Spend the entire day shopping in the boutiques and galleries of Vancouver's upscale neighbourhood of South Granville.

     

  4. Dine in the clouds with a 360° view of the city at Vancouver's top revolving restaurant (www.cloud9restaurant.ca).

     

  5. Enjoy more than a great cup of tea during high tea at the Shangri-La Lounge. Don't forget to check out the new Burberry Store right next door (www.shangri-la.com/vancouver)

     

  6. Venture out to Furry Creek, B.C.'s most scenic golf course, and take in the breathtaking beauty of the Coast Mountains and Pacific Ocean (www.golfbc.com).

     

  7. Embrace an evening of traditional French cooking fused with the flavours of the Pacific Northwest at Daniel Boulud's DB Bistro Moderne (www.dbbistro.ca).
