Every Rockwood experience can be enhanced with a culinary element designed to reflect the bounty and spirit of British Columbia.

Transportation & Logistics Experts

Our transportation and logistics services are industry-leading, and thanks to our volume and strategic partnerships, we offer exceptional value.

From April to October, we typically move hundreds of guests per day, several days a week — often managing large-scale disembarkation that involves transferring hundreds of cruise passengers to tours, airports, and hotels, all simultaneously within the operational constraints of the Port of Vancouver.

We’re equally experienced in handling large airport arrivals, where delayed flights and itinerary changes are the norm. Whether it’s port, airport logistics, or dine-around experiences our team excels at delivering seamless, high-volume guest movement with precision and care, including the local DMC knowledge of how and where to best stage, always delivering service excellence.

Simon and Sal did a fantastic job of taking our group on a pre-Holland America cruise to visit various sites in Vancouver. Both were extremely knowledgeable and easy going. The bus picked us up from our hotel, and presented information about all of our stops. Their sense of humor made it fun, and the details shared about each stop was highly engaging. Each stop included stops with short files. We lived it! Although it was a rainy cold day, we enjoyed the tour, and the ease of delivering us back to our cruise check-in area. If you want to learn highly interesting details about the area, these are your guys.

just completed the “Capilano Canyon Walk & City Highlights” tour with Rockwood Adventures and it was exceptional, both as a result of the spectacular beauty of the sights presented as well as the deeply knowledgeable and highly personable manner in which our guides Peter and Mike shared it all with us. Both were so professional and natural storytellers! It was quite spellbinding the way in which they entertained and enriched us at the same time, all with refreshing humility and obvious deep passion for their subject matter. Thank you both!

Shell North America had an absolutely fabulous time with Rockwood Adventures on a specially curated Rainforest River Canyons & Salmon adventure, which was modified to include the infamous Rainforest Bathing Wellness experience. From start to finish the tour was 10/10 and was the perfect compliment to our retreat/conference that we hosted in Vancouver. The Rockwood team handled our large group with ease and professionalism. The tour guides, Alasdair and Deborah, were extremely engaging, knowledgeable, and insightful. Our group participants were international, and they were able to cater the tour to an audience that was unfamiliar with the lower mainland. A highlight of the experience was the Forest Bathing and the Indigenous Tea Ceremony to conclude the tour. If you're looking for a top of the line first class experience, I cannot recommend Rockwood Adventures enough for your Vancouver and surrounding area adventures. We would love to work with Rockwood Adventures again in the future on corporate events for Shell, and many of the participants said that they can't wait to come back!

5- Stars is not enough. We did a Rainforest and River Canyon tour with a stop at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and it couldn't have gone any better. Participant's attention was grabbed in the first minute until the end. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and personable and the pre-booking experience was very easy. Rockwood Adventure Tours is a long-standing partner and wherever we can, we will use their tour offerings. I highly recommend Rockwood Adventures.

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how wonderful our trip on the 8th was. The rain was unbelievable and constant the whole weekend, but being with the kids and family made up for it. Peter, our guide, was fantastic and obviously enjoys working for Rockwood. He was experienced and willing to share his knowledge and we all felt pretty swanky being escorted around. The lunch was very good with a nice touch adding the tablecloth and dishes. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with the nice picnic and we found ourselves rushing to finish eating as we were so wet and needed to get warm. Oh well, good thing we are not made of spun sugar! LOL.

Chris and Josie were excellent! As was Jonathan the driver. What a beautiful day spent learning about Vancouver and the surrounding areas. The hikes were lovely. (And the jokes - very fun). We will be returning to enjoy your city again.

We enjoyed 2 tours with Rockwood: Barry led the Rainforest River Canyons and Salmon Adventure, and Chris & Josie led the Sea-to-Sky Gondola and Rainforest River Canyons. Both were fabulous and we highly recommend them. One thing we really appreciated was the experience of the guides, which made them knowledgeable on any question we could ask. The pace was casual so we never felt rushed, and yet they kept us on time and squeezed a lot in to that time. The bus was comfortable and secure. Barry, Chris, and Josie each took care to get to know all the members of the group, leaving us feeling that we had some new best friends in Vancouver. And, of course, the scenery was stunning and we took a LOT of photos! We didn't organize it, but we understand that Rockwood stepped up when others couldn't, leaving us again feeling like we won a lottery. Thank you, Rockwood Adventures Tours, for sharing beautiful Vancouver BC with us.

We had two amazing days with Manfred as our guide. He is so knowledgeable about Vancouver and the Gulf Islands, and clearly loves his part of the world. He took such good care of us during our stay!
