Experience Vancouver from the water on a relaxed small-group harbour cruise. From the deck you’ll enjoy incredible views of the city skyline, the forested shoreline of Stanley Park, and the iconic Lions Gate Bridge with the North Shore mountains rising behind it.
Our sightseeing cruises offer a more personal way to explore Vancouver Harbour. Instead of large crowded tour boats, our cruise has a maximum of just 36 guests so you can relax, take photos, and enjoy the experience at a comfortable pace.
Whether you're visiting Vancouver for the first time or looking for a new perspective on the city, a harbour cruise is one of the best ways to see the coastline, skyline, and surrounding mountains.
During the tour you’ll experience some of Vancouver’s most famous waterfront landmarks, including:
• Stanley Park shoreline
• Lions Gate Bridge
• Vancouver’s downtown skyline
• Granville Island
• North Shore mountains
Snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the bar.
