Chase one of Vancouver’s most dramatic coastal waterfall moments on this 4-hour Granite Falls cruise into Indian Arm—a fjord-like inlet framed by steep rainforest mountains.

Even when conditions change, the route delivers big scenery—calm inlet waters, forested cliffs, and a rare “waterfall meets saltwater” viewpoint that’s nearly impossible to access from land.
