What sets this tour apart?
This is not your average forest stroll. Our Donut Rock Hike offers an off-the-beaten-path adventure through lush West Coast rainforest to one of Vancouver’s hidden gems—Donut Rock—an unofficial lookout few locals even know exists. Unlike standard tourist trails, this journey blends serenity and adrenaline: from peaceful lakeside boardwalks at Whyte Lake to exhilarating scrambles and sweeping panoramic views at Eagle Bluff. Led by passionate guides who know the terrain intimately, you'll experience a raw, immersive, and unforgettable trek that weaves together secret spots, wildlife encounters, and epic photo ops—all in a single half-day adventure. Ideal for fit hikers who crave something real, rugged, and ridiculously scenic
