Your guide will give a detailed account of the history of Granville Island, the Burrard Street Bridge, Bard on the Beach, the Eugenia Building and others.
After crossing False Creek, the zodiac will speed up to 25 kts or around 40-50km/h, following the shore along Stanley Park. You'll arrive at Siwash rock where the zodiac will stop. You'll have the opportunity to take pictures of Vancouver's most photographed natural structure. Learn about the history of the natural rock formation.
Continue to Vancouver Harbour while your guide will talk about the history of Vancouver Harbour, the Lionsgate Bridge, Canada Place, Seaspan etc. At this point, if a freighter is stationed nearby, a quick detour will be made to cruise up close to see how large they are. If not, cruise past the Ironworkers bridge and towards Deep Cove.
After Deep Cove, the zodiac will enter Indian Arm, which has granite cliff faces and no road access. This section is all boat access only and is untouched natural BC forests.
Your guide will stop the zodiac at Granite Falls (no unboarding) and everyone will be given a chance to take pictures, followed by a quick stop at the north end of Indian Arm and the Wigwam Inn (the turn around point of the tour).
On the way back, the zodiac will stop at Silver Falls. These falls we can get very close to on the boat. The rest of the return is traveling the same route and more stops will be taken in the Vancouver Harbour to showcase beautiful Vancouver.
