I just discovered your videos and have been binge watching. I love how positive you are, something we really need right now. I didn't know Shrek was a server in Vancouver 😂
That was epic. But don't kill yourself. I don't want to hear, "Hi, this is Downie live and today I'll show you around my apartment because I still can't walk after last week's installment,"
I live in Vancouver. Ive done his trek on my bike 100s of times. Takes about 3-4 hours with stops for lunch or refreshments and guess what...no blisters.
Weekly videos aren’t enough to satisfy my appetite for your videos, so I’m hitting up the back catalogue and you never disappoint. Another great video. Cheers Mike
Yes, the harbor center just has the viewout and the restaurant thats at the top, nothing else. But the round thing on the brown building is the control tower
It’s a somewhat common misconception that Harbour Centre is the control tower. In fact, it’s actually the province building just west of waterfront station! Next time you’re near, look closely at the top of the building and you’ll spot the panoramic windows of the control room! :)
ive been living in Vancouver for 5+ years... and its so cool to see youtubers put this great city on the map. also now i know so many cool facts i didnt know existed in this great city.
Watching your videos is making me want to come back for my third visit to Vancouver. I walked some of the sea wall around Stanley Park the last time I came over to visit my boyfriend, after her took me back to the aquarium for a repeat of our first date. It's such a beautiful place. I can't wait to come back, there's still so much for me to explore.
Oh how we do appreciate you sacrificing your feet for our tour of the world's longest waterfront path, in THE MOST beautiful city in North America!! You've earned another Heiferweizen for sure!
@@DownieLive Thanks! Vancouver is a beautiful city! I've seen some beautiful views of extensive gorgeous houseboats along the Vancouver waterfront, I think they were extending further up the entire length of Vancouver, and they were more beautiful than the ones you showed here. That was at least 10 years ago. Could you please make a video, perhaps by boat, showing those, and mention the name of a website or publication that posts Vancouver houseboats for rent in the description? And any houseboats along the waterfront of Victoria also? I love them! ❤
I've been a long-time follower of your channel and remember watching this video when it first came and thinking it would be wonderful to visit Vancouver (I'm from the States). Just a couple weeks ago I got to do just that, and I loved it! Vancouver is beautiful! I did the Seawall walk from Sunset Beach Park all the way around finishing up at Canada Place, and let me tell you, seeing those views of downtown from Halleluja Point was nothing short of spectacular!
Today we had sun and temp in 60s in Cincinnati and I did walk, but nothing like your journey. A city on water is always a beautiful city and Vancouver is one of the most beautiful. I was surprised to see a palm tree. When I've had blisters from walking they are always more painful when I stop walking and especially the day after. I am sympathetically uncomfortable with you. Mike, I always smile watching your videos and I confess I always feel better.
Oh wow🙏 Mike it was just stunning! The walk was extraordinary! I love this city. I would like to see more and more from Vancouver💔 beautiful city. Thanks Mike.
I'm loving your trips around Vancouver and BC! Wish I could come see the sights, but I'm waaaay over here in NY state. Definitely a bucket list city! Hope your feet are feeling better. Thanks for taking us along on your hike!
I'm absolutely loving these Vancouver videos. I live on Bowen Island, but don't go into the city too often. We definitely take this city's beauty for granted
good to see someone proud of the courtry, and there home town. i have visited canada, when you did not have to have a passport. beautiful up there. thanks so much for sharing
Bro!...EPIC video!! I am 53, born and raised in the Lower Mainland and have been along many of the parts you showed today but NEVER have I done it all in one day, nor have I seen all of those places! Thank you for your marathon tour and for actually completing it. Hope your feet are in okay shape after that. I really am enjoying your videos, you do a great job on content and the edits. Have a great week! Cheers, Rick
As an immigrant, I have called GVA my home for last 7 years. And I still can't get enough of it. I wish it was affordable for middle class family like ours. My favourite thing to do is a day trip to Bowen Island. I think that should be your next episode. :)
Love your videos! Always informative, interesting and entertaining. Thanks so much for sharing. As a Vancouverite, it’s great to see my backyard through other people’s eyes.
Absolutely THE BEST review of the that amazing walk! Ever since I visited Vancouver for the first time in 2008, Stanley Park and Kits were A MUST to walk or run before anything else in Vancouver. So many new facts I didn't know before. Long live B.C. and Vancouver - HOME!
Thanks for suffering the blisters to share the journey with us. Brings back some small memories of a few things we saw/did in the area in 2016 before we cruised to Alaska from there.
@@CANControlGRAFFITI when rain is the only complaint about a city, clearly that is amazing & proves how amazing the city is when all people have to complain about is rain & “too expensive”
@@OhFrenchii It rained 171 days in 2020; that's 47% of the year with rainy days. In the winter it's unbelievably depressing with the lack of sunshine. I had the same mindset as you "what's a little rain going to do..." I'll tell you first hand it's not an easy place to live in the winter, fall, and spring. However, the summer is world-class.
You are a delight! Love your videos and personality, always upbeat and great videos! I have a friend that now lives in the US where I am, she is from Canada. It is nice to see these videos.
14:40 ooh man I can imagine that you were in such a huge pain, but this part of the city is just gourgeous aswell. Kits beach and its neighborhood could be another video of yours bro. Would be nice if you also show the other beaches, spanish banks and jericho beaches. I guess a lot of people doesn't even know that there are this nice neighrborhoods and beaches along the coastline aswell.
I’ve lived in van for 20 years and have been to these places countless times but never would have known half the facts and back story in this!!! Well done great vid sir :)
For your next long walk, try walking along the Central Valley Greenway to New Westminster. I've done it, it's great. Especially the section that goes through Burnaby Lake.
Lived in Downtown Vancouver for 6 months and was walking the Seawall almost every day! Thanks for that great video Mike, will come back as soon as possible
Holy Cow Mike! After this video ended I ran into the bathroom, tore off my shoes and socks, ripped open the Epson Salts, and soaked my feet in the tub!
I regret not seeing this video before visiting Vancouver last month! It would have made me appreciate the city even more. I did walk between 16k steps and 18k steps every day of the week I spent there, so I know the feeling I guess! You have my respect!
Early in the morning...the gentle breeze begins flowing...it feels so charming...then a sphere starts floating...it glances over the horizon...then it slowly rises...and I peeks through the window...then it whispers 'Good Morning'...as the alarm starts to ring...little children start waking...the little doves begin to sing...as the little daisies begin blooming...💖
The Plaza of Nations was a great music venue in the 90's and early 2000's, I saw Pearl Jam, Tool, Beck and David Bowie there. It's strange to walk through it now in its current state.
All the CW superhero shows kind of gave up on hiding those buildings at some point or another (especially Supergirl after they moved out of Los Angeles for the second season.)
While not technically part of the seawall, you can walk un interrupted from Crab Park, along waterfront road, under canada place and the convention center, exit through the easy park parking lot that connects where the sea planes are, right on the seawall. Or just use the sea bus terminal to get back up/down. There are a cool pair of stone lions on either side of main st that lead into crab park. P.S Discovery Island was once opened to the public for a city event a few years ago. I took a few photos as I knew I wouldn't get into any trouble for being there by the coast guard. Have yet seen it re opened to public access.
Yea shrek bringing your lunch and that no one was even noticing it really made me think I was really losing it and needed to call. Well played Michael lol
@@PETRIN604 Thanks for the tip. I've definitely seen a few needles around there. On the plus side there is usually someone there collecting empties for you.
I got distracted last weekend, so just watched this now. I did an 8 mile walk last weekend, and you did way more than that. Holy mackerel! Of course your feet hurt! When we had part of a day in Vancouver, our group split and I went to Lynn Canyon & missed Stanley Park. I think I need to go back. Great video!!
Great video! We walked around Stanley Park, West End, Davie Village, Gastown, False Creek this past Saturday for 20 miles in total. Vancouver is definitely one of the most walkable cities in North America!
Good one Mike! Now my Sunday walk in Vancouver back on Labor Day Weekend 2018 was a little less adventurous, given my age, but I didn't get blisters. My Blundstones needed a minor repair after the adventure on the unsealed trails within Stanley Park looking for the native fauna. Apart from the glitch about the Control Tower (on 200 Granville), you have done a brilliant job describing and showing us the sights along the Waterfront Path. I recognised a number of familiar spots, most of which I captured on my Nikon D3400. So thanks again for a great tour and some fond memories. By the way, I started at the Inukshuk, cut across the isthmus at the edge of Stanley Park (the pedestrian path near Park Lane) and walked parts of the Seawall and internal trails, finishing back at the Rose Garden and the Bus Loop. I enjoyed a short bus ride through the holiday Sunday traffic jam on West Georgia and ,after reviewing the tourist hotspots around Canada Place, enjoyed a great salmon steak, fries and salad at the Rogue Kitchen inside the former CP passenger station building. Cheers from your namesake in Melbourne.
I loooooovvved this video. So informative. I am originally from Ontario but moved here 2 yrs ago and I learned so much from your video. I live on the North Shore and don’t get into the City much. This video gave me so many ideas. Thank you
Thanks for the vicarious wander along the seawall. Great during covid times to reminded how lucky we are to live here. We appreciate your enthusiasm and sacrifice.
Thank you Sir for documenting the newer portion of the seawall from kitsilano beach onwards. I left Vancouver before that portion was open and I always wondered what it looked like!
Thanks for the tour of the walk. My first time in Vancouver was for the Expo - great fun. My second time was in 1990 and we stayed a few blocks off English Bay. It's not the Bay of Fundy but the tides are nonetheless most impressive. When you said you didn't know where you were headed, I thought it would be to an urgent-care clinic. I hope your dogs have recovered from the punishment.
YAY you made it, great vid as usual Mike. When the covid thing is over and tourism returns you could open a tour guide business, you have plenty of experience in your city, your potential clients can watch your vids to get an idea of what they want to see, and you have marketing experience to get it of the ground. I just thought it might be an idea to suppliment your you tube business, which is tour guiding with a camera in your hand. Once it is up and running you can hire and train guides to expand the business and you could be Vancouver's next entrepernuer, just a thought. Cheers from Down Under mate.
Oh your poor feet! Been there, done that. I now pre-tape a couple of problem areas on mine and wear super comfy walkers or hikers. 28 Kms. Wow!! Love this vid! Next time in Vancouver, I intend to walk at least some of it. See you next time.
As a kid, I got to know many of the landmarks and buildings around Vancouver, such as Expo Park, BC Place, Plaza of Nations, the Convention Centre, Stanley Park, etc. because they were featured in the original MacGyver TV show in the 1980s. That show was a favorite of mine then and now.
What a beautiful city and wow your feet must've been a world of hurt after that! I really want to get to Vancouver again - I enjoyed visiting way, way, way back in 2002-3! And I thought the control tower was on the other building!
Great video. Loved the tour. I’m from BC & there are still a few parts of the Seawall I haven’t done yet. I’d recommend a good pair of hiking boots for a walk that long. Your feet will thank you.
I just discovered your videos and have been binge watching. I love how positive you are, something we really need right now. I didn't know Shrek was a server in Vancouver 😂
7:59 what an honour to be served by Shrek himself
Man, as soon as i saw it i went to the comments. I knew it it wasn’t the only one to realise
Missed that. Get to watch it again.
Too focused on that burger
I had to rewind to make sure I saw what i saw! Loved that!!!!
Lollll came to comment to see it. Thought my eye deceived me.
I wish I had as much enthusiasm for anything as this man has for Vancouver.
That was epic. But don't kill yourself. I don't want to hear, "Hi, this is Downie live and today I'll show you around my apartment because I still can't walk after last week's installment,"
😄😄😂 You got it!
Just make it a Q & A video...
How many miles was it?
I convinced my American wife to move our family to Van May 1 and your videos are making her excited for the city.
Congratulations on your new home! How’s it been so far?
@@T55452 absolutely love it

Correction! The tower for controlling Seaplanes is on top of the brown build that you were standing behind at 1:14
Really?
Yes, the harbour traffic control is atop Granville Square, not Harbour Centre that Michael pointed at.
Yes, the harbor center just has the viewout and the restaurant thats at the top, nothing else. But the round thing on the brown building is the control tower
@@DownieLive yes really

Awesome! Thank you!
I wasn't sure if my eyes were deceiving me but seeing Shrek was funny.
Yeah, I had to rewind that part lol
I like waterfront paths and trails in the summer. But this one you found has such an amazing view! 🌊☀️
No Doubt!!!👌😍
Yes it does. Love it.
And lol at 10:36 being "a little run down"
Really? That's run down? Ok then.

Thank you Sir for documenting the newer portion of the seawall from kitsilano beach onwards. I left Vancouver before that portion was open and I always wondered what it looked like!
Thanks for the tour of the walk.
My first time in Vancouver was for the Expo - great fun. My second time was in 1990 and we stayed a few blocks off English Bay. It's not the Bay of Fundy but the tides are nonetheless most impressive.
When you said you didn't know where you were headed, I thought it would be to an urgent-care clinic. I hope your dogs have recovered from the punishment.
😄😂 They have. Thank you!
YAY you made it, great vid as usual Mike. When the covid thing is over and tourism returns you could open a tour guide business, you have plenty of experience in your city, your potential clients can watch your vids to get an idea of what they want to see, and you have marketing experience to get it of the ground. I just thought it might be an idea to suppliment your you tube business, which is tour guiding with a camera in your hand. Once it is up and running you can hire and train guides to expand the business and you could be Vancouver's next entrepernuer, just a thought. Cheers from Down Under mate.
Oh your poor feet! Been there, done that. I now pre-tape a couple of problem areas on mine and wear super comfy walkers or hikers. 28 Kms. Wow!! Love this vid! Next time in Vancouver, I intend to walk at least some of it. See you next time.
Great tip!
Nice video !! Thanks for sharing the beauty of Vancouver!!!!! Love the angles and the focus of some frames! So cool! Greetings from Toronto!
Thank you very much!
As a kid, I got to know many of the landmarks and buildings around Vancouver, such as Expo Park, BC Place, Plaza of Nations, the Convention Centre, Stanley Park, etc. because they were featured in the original MacGyver TV show in the 1980s. That show was a favorite of mine then and now.
Boy your making me miss Vancouver... lived there for 16 years starting in the 90s
What a beautiful city and wow your feet must've been a world of hurt after that!
I really want to get to Vancouver again - I enjoyed visiting way, way, way back in 2002-3!
And I thought the control tower was on the other building!
What a lovely walk -- hopefully one day I can visit Vancouver and see for myself!
I hope so too!
Great video. Loved the tour. I’m from BC & there are still a few parts of the Seawall I haven’t done yet. I’d recommend a good pair of hiking boots for a walk that long. Your feet will thank you.
Thank you! Will do!
