ARE ZODIAC ADVENTURES SAFE?

Yes, all of our captains and boats are certified by Transport Canada. Zodiacs move fast but are very stable, especially in the usually calm waters of Vancouver’s Inner Harbor and Burrard Inlet.

No, this is a city sightseeing adventure and it DOES NOT include whale watching. Vancouver, however, is home to a variety of birds and sea mammals and we may occasionally see dolphins, harbor seals, bald eagles, and other sea birds during adventures.

DO I NEED TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

Reservations are definitely recommended. Adventures often sell out and we don’t want you to be disappointed.

DO TOURS RUN IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER?

Tours operate rain or shine! Safety is our priority and, in extreme weather conditions or high winds, adventures may be cancelled at the discretion of our qualified crew. We will be in touch should this be the case.

Traveler Reviews

There are good experiences and then there's this. Checks every box was pure unadulterated fun. The boat ride is super fun and the handsome young captain whatshisname was very entertaining and ensured all of us had too much fun.

The entire trip was fun, Capt Paul was full of knowledge and we had a spectacular day. It was great to see Vancouver from a different perspective.

Because of the drought, the falls were a little disappointing, but the boat ride and tour around Vancouver and up Indian Arm was very scenic. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about local landmarks and the wildlife in the area.

Our tour guide Paul was absolutely wonderful. He had a lot of great information and took us to a great deal of places. My boyfriend and I took our cameras and he was great enough to stop long enough to photograph scenery and buildings a long the way. The views were breath taking. I recommend doing this the first day you get to Vancouver and then planning your trip around the places you discover on this tour!!

Amy was a great tour guide, she kept it very informative and fun t the same time! She would drive and make donuts in the water once in a while and her excitement when telling us about different history pieces or sea creatures we found in the way was ver contagious. As a new local, I had a lot of fun and loved the tour takes you all the way past Deep Cove and the Indian Arm. Highly recommend this activity for any visitor in Vancouver especially when there’s good weather like we luckily had this time!

The sights were majestic but our guide Amy was amazing. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour that more special. She was a marine biologist major in college and you can tell. Thanks again Amy.

From the second we arrived at Granville Island where our departure point was we knew this was going to be special. Just walking around Granville was a treat and then we arrived at Vancouver Water Adventures. We were greeted with such enthusiasm and friendliness we were feeling great. Then we were directed to the life vests and to our guide. Our guide was Amy who is a marine biologist and the most impressive, kind, charming, funny, educational, all-around superstar! She gave us the obligatory safety lecture and then took pics for us with our cameras. Then it was off to an adventure that was everything from an exciting zodiac ride (Amy did donuts around the other zodiac…awesomeness) to an almost otherworldly sense of beauty and peacefulness when entering the area where we were surrounded by mountains and smooth as glass water. Then Amy took us to a picturesque cove with a stunning waterfall. I know I am not doing justice to what we really witnessed but it would take a great author to adequately describe the beauty and serenity of where we were. I can’t say enough about the company, the zodiac boat, and amazing Amy. Everyone needs to do this tour. If you only have time for one thing to do in Vancouver, do this, and of course ask for Amy!

Was amazing. Paul gave such an amazing tour to granite falls. My kids absolutely had a blast. Thanks again

Amazing stuff Lots a fun things to see Guide was amazing Love the experience Strongly recommend Good one for family

Great tour guide and great way to learn Vancouver Views history and sea life too. From cityscape to mountains and seals and jellyfish
