Truly amazing unforgettable experience

kulmohan_s, Jun 2022

Had the experience with family, and one of the great ones, we all enjoyed it very much. The staff was amazing at the ticket counter along with the captain of the boat and the guide, learned about Vancouver history, will reccomend to everyone.

Didn’t care for it

Connie_T, May 2022

Wasn’t worth it for me. The usual crowd of loud drinkers prevented hearing much of the narrative. Somewhat interesting.

Van cruise

Srabani_S, May 2022

Excellent and informative.

Jeremy_P, May 2022

Rachel was an excellent guide. Attentive to everybody’s needs and requirements and full of interesting and informative information. So much really good food in places you would never find without a guide.

Vancouver Harbor Sightseeing Cruise

Philip_M, Aug 2019

Great little boat. Should have been a little longer for the commentary which was most informative. Reasonable value for money, pitched just right for the tourist - keep it there. The educational commentary was worh a tip but there wasn't a box or pot to tip the crew.

Fun in the Sun!

Joshua_M, Jul 2019

If you're in the Vancouver BC area than you must take the Vancouver Harbor Sightseeing Cruise! I had a lot of fun learning about the history of British Columbia and the ship's crew was very informative. It was definitely a fun family reasonably priced event.

A treat!

Patricia_W, Jul 2019

Enjoyed this little cruise! Just the right length. The harbor is gorgeous and we lucked out because it was a clear, warm day.

Informative History on the ride.

CONSTANCE_V, Sep 2018

SEAN D, Aug 2017

If you only have an hour or so to tour Vancouver this is a great choice at a good value. You get to see the harbor and hear some of the history. It's also pretty entertaining -- funny stuff said. Bonus: local beer on tap for sale.

Bridgette K, Sep 2016

This was a nice relaxing cruise on the harbour and the tour guide commentary was very informative. The circular cruise gave some great views of the Sea planes taking off and landing, Canada Place from the water, North Vancouver and Stanley Park.
