Overview

Brand new for summer 2025, experience a 90-minute scenic cruise on our double decker catamaran. We've been getting feedback that some people haven’t been able to sit outside, so we’ve reduced the number of passengers we take so everyone can have a seat outside if they wish.

On our 20 km (12.5 miles) route you'll see and learn about Vancouver's sights and landmarks while you're surrounded by stunning scenery. We start our cruise in False Creek, then head out into the Burrard Inlet, past English Bay and across to the Lions Gate bridge.

Live narration is provided by our experienced tour guides, so you’re sure to learn something new on this tour.

We have an upper deck plus bow and stern decks for those who like to feel the sea breeze and the wind through their hair. If you prefer some shade or if it's rainy we have plenty of seating on the lower deck which has large panoramic windows so you'll still get an amazing view.

Snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the bar.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Vancouver over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
