VANCOUVER BOAT TOURS

The boat tour navigates through breathtaking scenery, including rugged coastlines, lush forests, and towering mountains. Guests can admire panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and capture stunning photo opportunities. Keep an eye out as you might have a great chance of spotting humpback whales, killer whales, seals, sea lions, porpoises, and various seabird species such as bald eagles, ospreys, and cormorants. 

Our knowledgeable guides onboard provide commentary about the history and wildlife of Howe Sound. They will share fascinating facts about the area’s marine life, and conservation efforts.

You’ll surely appreciate the complimentary soups, and snacks we have onboard. We also want to keep you hydrated throughout your trip with our complimentary water, coffee, and tea options. 

Unlike taking a larger cruise, or an open Zodiac, our boat is a 30ft. aluminum boat, Transport Canada approved. It is safe and reliable, comfortable benches, and a marine toilet. It is covered so it provides ideal protection from the elements, with large openings ideal for viewing and photography.

We can offer private charters, marine film and video production, marine research, custom pickup and drop-off & marine transportation.
