The boat reaches speeds up to 55 km/h as it passes landmarks including the Lions Gate Bridge, English Bay, False Creek, and Stanley Park. The route continues to West Vancouver, where it approaches Lighthouse Park and Point Atkinson Lighthouse. The tour also passes Seal Rocks, a harbour seal colony where passengers can observe the animals in their natural habitat. A local guide provides commentary throughout the trip, covering the city, wildlife, and surrounding nature. All necessary equipment is included, and passengers receive a free photo package. A cruiser suit is provided and must be worn during the tour.
