Overview

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.

Cool Vancouver wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

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.
