Enjoy a scenic sightseeing tour of Vancouver’s spectacular coastline.

Your adventure begins at Granville Island where you’ll hop aboard a zodiac boat. You’ll get geared up in a survival suit and your guide will share stories about the history of Granville Island, the Burrard Street Bridge, the Eugenia Building, Bard on the Beach and more.

Once you’ve passed False Creek, your zodiac boat will pick up speed to around 40-50 km/h and follow the shore along Stanley Park.  At Siwash rock, an outcrop near Third Beach and the Lion’s Gate Bridge, you’ll have a chance to get out, and learn about this unique natural formation and take some pictures. 

Your tour continues exploring Vancouver Harbour and you’ll learn about Seaspan, Canada Place, Lion’s Gate Bridge and more. Your zodiac will sail past Ironworkers Bridge towards Deep Cove and you’ll enter the glacial fjord of Indian Arm. This area, lined with granite cliff faces, is only accessible by boat and is surrounded by untouched, natural British Columbian forests.

You’ll be able to admire the cascade of Granite Falls  and Silver Falls from the zodiac, followed by a brief stop at the north end of Indian Arm.

On the way back to Granville Island, you’ll follow the same route taking in views of Stanley Park, the English Pile, Coal Harbour, the Twin Islands, English Bay Beach, Racoon Island, Buntzen Powerhouse and more.

From the towering container ships amid stunning city views to seals at play, the Granite Falls Zodiac Tour is a great way to enjoy a summer day.
