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 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
• Lions Gate Bridge
• Vancouver’s skyline
• Granville Island
• North Shore mountains
Alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and snacks are available for purchase from our licensed bar.
