Vancouver has a lot to offer fans of all types of water sports. The city has an astonishing quantity of beachfront and is situated on the Georgia Strait, Burrard Inlet, and English Bay beaches. For those who enjoy being on the water, the area’s pristine lakes, lovely inlets and bays, and powerful rivers make Vancouver a dream.

Uncertain about what to do while there? A set of Vancouver water adventures is provided below to get you going.

1. Zodiac Boat Tours

To begin your tour, get on a Zodiac Boat Tour at Granville Island. Your tour guide will tell you tales about the past of Granville Island, the Eugenia Building, the Burrard Street Bridge, Bard on the Beach, and other places while you are outfitted in a survival suit. One of the best water activities in Vancouver is this.

Once you’ve passed False Creek and begun to follow the shoreline through Stanley Park, the speed of your Zodiac Boat Trip will increase to roughly 40 to 50 km/h. The Siwash rock outcrop, which is close to Third Beach and the Lion’s Gate Bridge, is a good place to take a stroll, learn about this particular natural phenomenon, and take some pictures.

You continue on your journey to Vancouver Harbour as you learn more about Seaspan, Canada Place, the Lion’s Gate Bridge, and other topics. From the Zodiac, you can see the waterfalls at Granite Falls and Silver Falls before stopping at Indian Arm’s most northern point.

As you pass Deep Cove and Ironworkers Bridge, you will enter the glacier fjord of the Indian Arm. This area is bounded by granite cliff walls and is surrounded by unmodified, unspoiled British Columbian woods.

You may see Stanley Park, Buntzen Powerhouse, Racoon Island, English Bay Beach, the Twin Islands, Coal Harbour, and more as you travel the same route back to Granville Island.

With big container ships among stunning cityscapes and seals playing, the Granite Falls Zodiac Tour is the best way to spend a summer day. Put this Vancouver sightseeing boat tour on your list of fun things to do in the city, whether you are a local or this is your first visit to British Columbia.

2. Relaxing Paddle Board Session

Since Vancouver has such a long coastline, it is not surprising that Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) has become more popular here. This exercise is a terrific way to get a nice core workout while exploring the seaside. Being on Vancouver’s water is an incredible experience. Vancouver has several wonderful places to SUP. Deep Cove on the North Shore provides serene water and a beautiful landscape. Paddleboarding is a terrific way to discover English Bay, Sunset Beach, and False Creek closer to the city center. On Vancouver’s west side, near Jericho Beach, English Bay, and Granville Island, paddleboards may be rented.

3. Morning Jet Ski Tour

Experience incredible high-speed thrills over the waves in  Howe Sound and English Bay on this morning’s Jet Ski adventure from Vancouver. Take to the water on a single- or double-rider Sea-Doo watercraft after a 30-minute safety briefing.

Of all the Vancouver water adventures this is one of the top Vancouver water adventures.

Follow your guide around English Bay and out into Horseshoe Bay while taking in expansive views of Bowen Island’s bays, beaches, and coves. Travel to Bowyer Island via the lovely Howe Sound to witness local harbor seals lounging at the water’s edge at Pam Rocks. Then take Anvil Island back to base.

4. Scenic Boat Tour

On a picturesque 90-minute boat excursion, take in the sights and sounds of the Vancouver, British Columbia, area. Travel west of the downtown peninsula along the English Bay shoreline with a knowledgeable local guide, stopping at popular Lighthouse Park, the Seal Colony, and False Creek, which divides downtown Vancouver from the rest of the city.

View a variety of sights along the trip, including Stanley Park, English Bay Beach, the Lions Gate Bridge, offshore freighters, West Vancouver’s stunning houses, and much more.

Experience Vancouver, British Columbia, by boat. Explore the city’s rivers and surrounding areas. View several of the regional landmarks and tourist attractions Discover Vancouver’s past and present. Overall it is a great experience.

5. Explore False Creek

False Creek is one of the most popular urban areas in Vancouver. Whether using a small ferry boat, a bicycle, or on foot, there is a lot to see and do in the area.

Along the False Creek Seawall, there are parks, tourist destinations, bars, coffee shops, and restaurants.

In addition, stunning views of Vancouver can be found in every direction.

Granville Island, the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, the Museum of Vancouver, and Vanier Park, which hosts the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival in the summer, are a few of the attractions along False Creek. Fishermen’s Wharf is another site close to Granville Island.

The Olympic Athletes Village, the False Creek Seawall, and Yaletown, with all of its cafes, are also located in False Creek. From one end to the other of the shoreline, you can jog, walk, and ride a bike.

The north and south banks of False Creek make for excellent strolling locations. The majority of the tourist attractions are conveniently accessible by Little Harbour Ferries, which are amusing as they cruise up and down the canal. There Aquabus and False Creek Ferries are the two businesses.

6. Snorkeling and Scuba Diving

Snorkeling and scuba diving are typically associated with the tropics, yet some of the greatest cold water diving in the world can be found near Vancouver. Scuba divers go into the chilly seas between Vancouver Island and the mainland to see rare marine animals such as the beautiful red coral and the wolf eel. They may also see the huge Pacific octopus.

Popular diving spots include Cates Park in Deep Cove, Whytecliff Park, and Porteau Cove close to Horseshoe Bay. Many scuba divers from Vancouver start at these locations.

The rocky coastal fjord of Jervis Inlet near Powell River on the Sunshine Coast is home to a sunken mermaid that local scuba divers have submerged. Off the Malaspina Strait, some shipwrecks still contain hidden gems!

I hope you enjoyed reading about the water activities in Vancouver and were motivated to do some of them while there. Plan your vacation to Vancouver as soon as possible. It is worthwhile.
