Your trip is operated on a Premium & Performance 3-Star boat—a rare combination that delivers the best of both worlds: a more comfort-forward setup (more usable space, a more refined cabin/interior, and a steadier onboard feel) and a performance-forward ride that can cover distance efficiently so you spend more time where wildlife is most active. Wildlife sightings vary, but depending on the day you may encounter orcas or humpback whales, along with seals, sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, and seabirds. In calmer nearshore pockets, you may also spot river otters along the coastline.

What are people saying about Vancouver

Jennifer_J, Feb 2026

Winter Wonderland

Although this tour is much more popular during the warm weather months, I’m glad we went when we did! It was more personalized and our guide, Paul, was able to take the time to introduce us to the Vancouver main attractions in just a few hours. The Capilano suspension bridge was breathtaking- if you get a chance to go at night, I bet it is spectacular. Wear good walking shoes, dress in layers and be prepared to get in your steps! The view from Grouse mountain was incredible as we happened to go on a clear day- the view is about 50mi! There is a limited menu, that’s included with the tour. That was good enough for us (we added drinks) but you can choose to order from the full menu at an additional cost. It was great to see how the indigenous culture is respected and honored in many ways, even with the growth of urban/city life. Paul made a great tour exceptional! He really took his time with us, explained history and even helped us capture memories by snapping several pics of us along the way. We have only good things to say. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Discovering Vancouver’s Waterfront with False Creek Ferries

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a wonderful time on the Vancouver False Creek Ferry Tour! The ride was smooth, the views were exceptionally beautiful, and it was such a relaxing way to see the city from the water. Huge shout-out to Captain Rusty! — his narrative was both entertaining and informative, and he made the whole experience extra special. Definitely one of the highlights of my Vancouver trip! 🫶🫶🫶

Beautiful Bay Views, Great crew

We took an afternoon ride in October. Beautiful waterfront views. Sunny, chilly and breezy so bring a jacket! Crew was fabulous. Offered a variety of drinks and snacks. Interesting commentary about the tour and Vancouver. Top deck is set up with tables and chairs and can seat 20+ people. Very comfortable. Made my day when we saw a seal enjoying the water.

Vancouver to Victoria Seaplane Adventure & Return via Bus & Ferry

Barbara_B, Oct 2025

Ideal for catching a flavour of Victoria.

Fantastic trip! The seaplane across to Victoria was amazing and meant we could make the most of our time there. There's not a lot to do in Victoria itself - plenty of shops but the museums are small and some were closed when we went. However, the architecture and history is interesting. Came back by coach/ferry so a trip through the islands with the setting sun. Everything was well planned, communication was good and I'd certainly recommend this trip to catch a flavour of Victoria if you don't have a lot of time to spend on the island.

Victoria and Butchart Gardens, an Elevated Experience

Neeta_W, Oct 2025

Lovely day tour

Last minute booking

We had travel delays that made us miss our original tour to Victoria island so I booked this to fill part of our day. From the moment we arrived at the tour shop the team was VERY friendly. We loaded up and our guide was knowledgeable and fun to be with. For the price it is a steal. We would do it again next time we come to Vancouver!

Bowen Island Dinner and Zodiac Boat Tour by Vancouver Water Adventures

Andrew_T, Aug 2025

Not to be missed while visiting Vancouver

This is a great experience, not to be missed in Vancouver. Exhilarating ride on the zodiac, so it’s not appropriate for everyone, especially those with mobility issues, as it’s a very bumpy ride and difficult to get in and out of the raft. For us, the bumper the better!! Got to see some landmarks along the way and see Vancouver from the water at dusk! Our guide, TEAGAN, was super friendly, very knowledgeable and full of information! The restaurant we eat at on Bowman Island was delicious. I appreciated the selection of restaurant.
