Tours From Vancouver

Viewing Vancouver from the water is the best way to enjoy the city and its breathtaking scenery. The options are endless: You can voyage through the waters surrounding Stanley Park, past historic Granville Island or by the famous Lighthouse Park.

One of the most popular trips is a journey through Indian Arm, a natural fjord just outside the city.

You can escape the crowds and watch the Canada Day fireworks light up the sky, listen to the delightful sounds of the Symphony Splash or have a cozy place to watch the famous Harbour Ferry Water Ballet. It’s also an ideal venue for cocktail harbour cruises, sunset dinner cruises, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other special events.
