Great time on the water! We spent 3 hours with Vincent. Rode to the two falls, but also saw powerhouses, beautiful (and quirky) homes, talked about the fjord, and just enjoyed the conversation. It was a beautiful day! If we travel back to the area, we'd love to do another tour!! Highly recommend!!!

The best way to explore...

Jeanny_G, Aug 2025

The best way to explore Indian Arms. Dave was a an exceptional guide that made the experience that much better. Highly recommended and relaxing way to explore the surrounding areas of Deep Cove!

Awesome experience

Sean_M, Aug 2025

This was a great experience. My family of 4 (children 7 and 10) loved the ride and Dave was so kind and great to talk to. The boat was clean and a very smooth ride. We had the chance to see a bald eagle, seals, as well as a huge school of jelly fish. This experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip- exceeded my expectations for sure. Thanks Dave, we can’t wait to come back.

Excellent way to spend the morning!

What an excellent way to spend the morning! It was a gorgeous day, the cruise of the Indian Arm area to Silver Falls was stunning, and the captain was very friendly and engaging. We also spotted a couple of eagles and several harbor seals. Highly recommend!

Cancelled the night before

Jamie_B, Jul 2025

Operator cancelled the tour the evening before with no excuse. Customer service gave a refund, however other tours were sold out and we werent able to get on the water as hoped. Do not recommend booking here for this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience but I did communicate the the vessel was in need a service and it wouldn’t have been safe to disembark, I even offered the option of rescheduling but I completely understand that isn’t always possible. The vessel has undergone the necessary repairs to make it safely operational, and if you’d like to rebook we would be happy to accommodate.

Beautiful ride with great guide

Private Vancouver Boat Excursion for Family of 6!

Cathy_C, Jun 2025

My family and I tend to get motion sickness especially on the water but I found this private boat tour experience on Viator which was perfect for my family of 6 on our vacation to Vancouver (Grandparents, kids age 10 and 14 and me and my husband). I called and spoke with Dave, one of the owners and he assured me that the inlet body of water we would be on was very calm and that the captain would also be cognizant of our motion sickness. With this assurance in mind, we booked the excursion and we are so glad we did! Captain Vincent was very attentive and checked in frequently to make sure we were feeling okay. He really wanted to make sure we were comfortable and asked how we preferred the speed and what we wanted to see. We really enjoyed his company and conversations! We got to see some lovely homes, landmarks and waterfalls along with lots of jellyfish. The boat was very spacious for 6 people, had shade in the back and seats in the front for the thrill seekers who don’t mind getting some light spray when going fast (aka husband and 14 year old). The tour was for 3 hours which is a generous amount of time. We took some amazing pictures on the boat with gorgeous Vancouver nature and scenery and that truly was worth the excursion in itself. Lastly, no one threw up their lunch which was also a bonus (haha). Thanks Captain Vincent and Dave! Love from the “C” Family!

This tour was like having an afternoon in a friend’s boat, thank you Dave!

Wonderful, peaceful experience, Dave was a gem, he made a charcuterie platter, and we stopped by the falls for a snack, and to watch the falls

Beautiful

Geetika_C, Jul 2024

We had a great time on our boat tour. Our tour operator, David, was great! He pointed out several landmarks as well as gave us a lot of information about the area. We visited the falls and a few from our group got off the boat to get a closer look. We even spotted a baby sea lion with its mother. The boat was very clean, and safety checks in place. I would highly recommend and we plan to definitely book again on our next visit.

Awesome Trip by Dave

Amit_G, Jul 2024

It was a memorable trip and besides the beautiful falls, Indian Arm surrounded by the green mountains, the special feel all Courstey by Boat operator Dave Lecian will always be remembered.
