HOME > DAY TOURS > LIVELY AFTERNOON TOUR
Jump into the heart of Vancouver’s afternoon buzz. We start with a downtown hotel pick‑up and a narrated drive through downtown Vancouver. After a safety briefing, pedal along False Creek on your premium Schiller water bike, keep your eyes open for harbor seals popping up to say hello. The 90-minute guided water bike ride is relaxed yet invigorating, perfect for Instagram-worthy shots and those who love to be in the middle of the action. Once back on land, we head to Granville Island, where the market is alive with artisans, musicians and souvenir shops. Enjoy lunch (your choice) and peruse the market’s many offerings. We finish with a ride back to your hotel, leaving you time to explore on your own before dinner.

What a cool experience and a unique way to see the city! We went with a group of 4 and loved it. It was really easy to master the bikes, and being on the water was awesome. Shawn was really fun and positive, and his customer service was excellent. Would highly recommend!

Our family of 5 experienced a fun 1 hour exploring the waterfront riding water bikes on pontoons. They had a different perspective of False Creek during this ride.

Excellent time out on the water! The water bikes were something I wanted to go with my girlfriend for a while now, and am glad I did. Great service on the beach and very easy to get there. I recommend going again, this time with my other bro’s! It’s an awesome evening on the water.

We had a great time! Excellent customer service! Staff was super friendly and made sure we were safe. Although it was a little scary at first, we adapted quickly and enjoyed the experience. We aren’t the most athletic and we are senior citizens and we loved it!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience for all of us, including me who is mildly scared of large bodies of water. The staff was great, answered all my questions and reassured me that I would not fall in. Super helpful and just a really fun hour. Would totally recommend to everyone.
