Vancouver Waterways Small-Group Zodiac Boat Sightseeing Cruise

Vancouver 1 hour 30 minutes

Your morning or afternoon cruise begins in Vancouver’s downtown waterfront. Meet your skipper guide, grab your lifejacket, and get a safety tutorial. Then, board the open-air, purpose-built Zodiac boat and set off on a scenic ride through Burrard Inlet. Holding just a small group, this boat offers a more intimate experience as you quietly wind through narrow passages not accessible by bigger vessels, and gets you closer to native wildlife. Your expert guide’s commentary makes this an unforgettable wildlife-spotting expedition through gorgeous Vancouver waterways. Glide along the water, viewing the variegated greenery of Coal Harbour, the North Shore, English Bay, False Creek, and Stanley Park. As you go, look out for local wildlife like dolphins, harbor seals, and bald eagles. Along the way, catch views of locals spending time on the beach, freighters docked in some of Vancouver’s major ports, and the skyscrapers that mark British Columbia’s largest city. After your outing on the water, your boat tour returns back to the departure point.
