The captain is the salt of the Earth and to hear about i history of that huge 50 mile long lake and a surroundings and the sunset and the moon coming up later evening part of the trip⚓️✔️ Highly recommend it —->will be my go to Adventure each time I visit The area
It was an informative ride on a beautiful day, and we learned quite a bit. The crew members were friendly and obliged to us asking curious questions.
Arrive early because there are only about 15 seats outside, otherwise you stand or sit inside with more limited views. One hour of useless narration. The sound was so quiet, and maybe too few speakers, that I heard none of it. It was so useless that passengers just got to talking among themselves as if they were on a boat ride in he harbor - which we were. I asked an employee to do something with no discernable difference.
Great water view and tour of Vancouver Island. Very well organized and a friendly staff. All four adults loved it. We went on a day with almost no wind and 65 degrees. A t-shirt with a light sweater was fine. If things get too cold, you can go inside, which has nice big picture windows for viewing.
We really enjoyed this one-hour harbour cruise around Vancouver. It was a nice, relaxing way to take a break from sightseeing on foot and see the city and surrounding area from a completely different perspective. The cruise takes you around Vancouver Harbour and across toward North Vancouver, with views of the city, the shipyards, the port and the sulphur facility along the waterfront. The narration is prerecorded and provides information about the different sights as you cruise along. One of the highlights was when the crew came on personally to point out an area where we could see sea lions, which was a fun surprise. The hour was just the right amount of time — long enough to see quite a bit of the harbour without taking up a large part of the day. The boat ride was comfortable and relaxing, and we enjoyed being out on the water and seeing another side of Vancouver. We’re glad we included the harbour cruise in our visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy and enjoyable way to see Vancouver from the water.
Lovely relaxing way to view Vancouver and its harbour. A very good commentary. ———————————_____________________[
A fantastic way to start our trip to Vancouver. Very much helped by gorgeous weather and stunning scenery and views from the boat. Would highly recommend.
Awesome! Enjoyed the ride. Beautiful day included.
We had a great time on the Vancouver Harbour Cruise! It was a relaxing and enjoyable way to see the city from the water and take in the beautiful views of Vancouver and the surrounding area. The staff on board were absolutely phenomenal! Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour was well organized, and we really enjoyed learning more about the area while cruising around the harbour. The length of the tour was perfect—not too long, but enough time to sit back, enjoy the scenery, and take plenty of pictures. This was a great addition to our Vancouver trip, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city, especially if it’s your first time in Vancouver!
