Vancouver Siwash Rock & Granite Falls Small-Group Boat Tour
Vancouver is a seaside city's best explored by water. Hop aboard a Zodiac inflatable boat from Granville Island on this tour, and come away with frame-worthy pictures of iconic natural landmarks. Get fitted into a warm suit during a safety briefing before stepping into the boat. Cross False Creek and stop near the Siwash Rock, an outcrop located near Third Beach and the Lion’s Gate Bridge, and learn about the history of the natural rock formation. Explore Vancouver Harbour and gain insight into the region's attractions. Sail past the Ironworkers Bridge towards Deep Cove. Enter the glacial fjord of Indian Arm, lined with granite cliff faces—this area is boat-access-only, and is surrounded by untouched British Columbia forests. Admire the cascades of Granite Falls from the boat; then, turn around to enjoy close-up views of Silver Falls. Your return voyage on the same route: Take in views of Stanley Park, English Bay Beach, and more as you head back to shore.
