Swimming, kayaking, cano-ing, sailing, boating, skiing, hiking, biking, walking, shopping, girl watching, boy watching (if that is your pleasure). Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and you need at least a week to see some of it. Go to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, 300 feet over a steep gorge, go to Stanley Park, 1000 acres of old growth trees with numerous walking and biking path, go visit the aquarium, rent a bike and go aropund Stanley park., visit the nude beacht, the space exhibition, Gastown with the steam clock. Just go to any search engine and find what there is to do in Vancouver. A million thing and more. Love this city.

I like the big park in the City, forget the name, but it is nice, with a great restaurant in the middle of the park.
Whistler, the ski resort, is close to Vancouver and is fantastic, even in the summer it's great.
