In our group of 4, 2 of us had mobility issues so this was a wonderful way to see Vancouver. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. The narration was informative but not overwhelming (like talking all the time). They gave us the details then added things as they were happening if needed. I would definitely recommend this trip!

Departure area was easy to get to. Lovely waiting area. Bar staff was fantastic. Enjoyed the overhead tour information. Just the right amount of narration to make the trip enjoyable. Handicap accessibility was perfect.

PETER_G, Aug 2026
Excellent trip around the harbour with friendly and helpful crew.
However within the enclosed area on the 2nd deck the the commentary was inaudible over the noise of the engine.
Connor_W, Aug 2026
Very nice ride around the harbor. Drinks were very good! My only gripe was the audio quality of the narrated tour. I feel like I was missing pieces of information..
Irma_G, Aug 2026
Good Quick Tour of the Harbor. Upper area can get very hot in summer although you get better views. Great for photos!
Staff very polite and service oriented.

Colette_C, Aug 2026
Great experience on the boat with lots of good history of the harbor and surroundings! We loved seeing the float planes land and take off!
John_D, Aug 2026
The Constitution made its normal route in the harbor until an opportunity to see harbor seals arose. They made a safe detour to enable all visitors onboard to get a glimpse of them.
Gene_M, Aug 2026
view boats and planes and barges from the deck or inside. Well worth the money. You will learn some of the areas history.

Great information and many stops to explore.
Sometimes the tour guides can be hard to understand as the microphones make their voices muffled.

Doug_R, Jul 2026
It was a little difficult to hear the your narrative. The tour itself was organized and smooth.
Added sentence to make minimum length.
Robert_S, Jul 2026
Very easy process and delicious Caesars were aboard, they even stopped to view some harbor seals on the way, and Vancouver is beautiful from the water
Kathryn_R, Jul 2026
Comfortable seating on the top deck ! Nice to have a drink during the trip. Not easy to hear the commentary.
Nicole_L, Jun 2026
I was wonderful to ride on the paddle wheel and hear about the history of Vancouver harbor. The drinks were amazing.
Ernest_M, Jun 2026
It tells one more about Vancouver's history, development and economy than what is read. The tour will physically let you see and understand what makes Vancouver one of the biggest ports in the world
James_D, Jun 2026
Very pleasant and informative cruise along the beautiful shoreline. The paddle wheel added a touch of nostalgia
