Went on the narrated tour of the Vancouver harbour with Captain Rusty who created the tour. His knowledge and passion for the subject was very engaging and highly informative. The tour lasted about an hour and was excellent value for money. If you are in Vancouver you should do this tour. Captain Rusty finished the tour with a great restaurant recommendation in Gastown which we thoroughly enjoyed. A great start to our holiday.

My wife, our two sons, and I took the 1-hour electric boat tour at False Creek yesterday, and we enjoyed it very much. The electric boat was clean, comfortable, and incredibly quiet, which made for a very relaxing ride around Vancouver harbour. Our captain, Gavin, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and an excellent narrator who kept us all engaged with interesting facts and stories about the area. It was the perfect length of time for a family outing, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience on the water!
