Yes - But it depends if you want to spend some money -

You could jump in cab (or a town car, which might be better) and ask the driver to take you on a tour. Specifically, you could ask him to take you downtown via Cambie Street:



Then down Georgia street and around Stanley Park:



Exiting Stanley Park on Beach Avenue:



The back to the airport via the Granville Bridge.

Would probably take about 90 minutes, give or take. Not sure of the fare, but probably $90-$100 in a cab and $130-$150 in a town car. At least he wouldn't have to deadhead back to the airport.

There is baggage storage at YVR, or you could just take your bag with you.
