More infoNothing reveals a person's true nature like watching them cross a wobbling 137-metre plank bridge strung 70 metres above a river canyon. Capilano leans fully in, adding the Cliffwalk cantilevered over the gorge on a glass-floored ledge and a Treetops loop through old-growth Douglas firs. Yes it's touristy, but gripping someone's hand mid-span fast-tracks chemistry. Book after 5 p.m. in peak season to save 25 percent.
Cross the swaying 137 m bridge, then hit the cantilevered Cliffwalk and the Treetops loop through the firs, gripping a hand mid-span is half the appeal. Budget about 2.5 hours and book ahead, since it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays and runs seasonal hours; mid-May to early September, an after-5 p.m. booking shaves 25 percent. The white-knuckle high leaves you primed for a calmer dinner afterward.
