Overview

This 90-minute sightseeing boat cruise in Vancouver takes place on a double decker catamaran with live narration from a tour guide. The 12.5-mile (20 km) route begins in False Creek, a busy inlet lined with marinas, condos, restaurants, and the Seawall. The boat then passes Granville Island Public Market, a popular spot for both locals and tourists. After leaving False Creek, the cruise goes under the Burrard Street Bridge and continues along English Bay Beach, a sandy city beach. Next, the boat sails past Stanley Park, North America's largest urban park, where guests can observe bikers, rollerbladers, and walkers. The route includes a close view of Siwash Rock, a volcanic stack formed over 20 million years ago with cultural significance to First Nations peoples. The boat approaches the Lions Gate Bridge, a suspension bridge connecting Vancouver to the North Shore, with narration about the private family who built it. The tour then turns around in English Bay, offering views of the North Shore mountains, Bowen Island, and Vancouver Island. The vessel features upper deck seating plus bow and stern decks for open-air viewing. The lower deck provides shaded seating with large panoramic windows for rainy or overcast weather. On-board restrooms are available. Snacks and drinks can be purchased at the bar. Taxes and fees are included; gratuities and beverages are not.
