Vancouver Kayaking Tour

About this activity
Head to the base camp at the north end of Kitsilano Beach to begin your kayaking tour. Choose between a morning journey or paddle off at sunset, ideal times in the day when you can enjoy calm waters and less boat traffic.
Receive a safety briefing from your expert guide, then slip on a vest and learn basic paddling techniques. Once you're ready, take a single or double kayak into the English Bay and follow your guide into False Creek, an inlet dividing Vancouver’s downtown area from the rest of the city, and site of the Expo ’86 World’s Fair.
As you paddle along, pass floating homes and marinas, and marvel at the wildlife, including harbor seals, herons, cormorants, kingfishers and owls. As you travel eastward, see the bridges of Burrard, Cambie and Granville.
Check out waterfront landmarks like Science World at Telus World of Science, its multifaceted sphere resembling the one at Epcot Center, and BC Place Stadium. Listen to Vancouver history from your guide and gain insight into the city’s latest ventures.
If you’re kayaking at sunset, admire the brilliant golds and oranges illuminating the sky and the water. Paddle your way back to Kitsilano Beach, where your tour ends.

Our guide Patrick was knowledgeable and made the trip extremely fun with humor and pointers to make the going better. A must do.
We had a great day on the water with Simone as our guide. She made it informative and fun, at a relaxing pace. Highly recommend this tour.
Fun tour! The guide was very knowledgeable but sometimes went ahead of the group so we couldn't always hear what he was saying. It was neat to see False Creek from the water and learn a bit about Vancouver's history. Luckily we had the perfect weather so it was a very enjoyable paddle.
It was our first time to go kayaking and we were apprehensive at first. but our guide Brandon made it easy and comfortable for us to learn the basics and before we knew it, we were paddling away! Great way to explore the city in a different perspective. For those wanting to bring home memories from this unique experience, I suggest that you bring waterproof cameras. My regret was that we didn't bring ours.
