Choose the AloOui Canada eSIM. It starts at $6.39 for 1GB over 7 days and runs on Bell, Rogers and Telus (4G/5G) and Videotron (4G).

Arriving at Vancouver Airport (YVR)

The Canada Line SkyTrain runs from the airport to downtown Vancouver in around 25 minutes. You can tap your contactless card or phone at the fare gates.

Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land and check your route to the hotel before you reach the station.

  • SeaBus: a ferry across the harbour to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver
  • Aquabus and False Creek ferries: little boats to Granville Island
  • Bikes: bike lanes and the Stanley Park seawall

Where you'll use your data in Vancouver

  • Stanley Park: the seawall walk and cycle path around the park
  • Granville Island: the public market, artists' studios and waterfront cafés
  • Gastown: the historic district and its famous steam clock
  • Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain: forest walks and mountain views on the North Shore

Whistler and the Sea-to-Sky

The Sea-to-Sky Highway runs from Vancouver past Howe Sound and Squamish to Whistler, around two hours away, for skiing in winter and mountain biking and hiking in summer.

Data tip: download offline maps before you set off, as signal is thinner on some stretches of the highway and in the backcountry.
