In the evening, the water is generally calm, the city is relaxed, and our tour is a perfect way to end the day! Reservations are required.

What Our Guests Are Saying

We had the evening kayaking tour in False Creek and it was seriously amazing. Our guide was Tadhg and he was absolutely fantastic. He went through all the history of the buildings and arts in the area in details, pace with our kayaks and made sure we were safe while enjoying the harbour during the busy hour of sunset before fireworks. We had a great time doing the tour and will absolutely be doing it again!

Eimear and Jessie were great tour guides for our 10-person kayaking tour! It was a very fun corporate team-building event, highly recommended.

Google Reviews

Did the evening kayak tour with Tadhg. The whole tour took about 2 hours in which we get to see different parts of Vancouver and learn about the history of the city. Our guide Tadhg is knowledgeable and fun! He took care of everyone despite the people might have different levels of kayaking. A really fun experience and would definitely recommend it to people.

Frequently asked questions

The Granite Falls Boat Tour offers the smoothest ride of all our tours. Our Zodiacs are extremely safe and stable vessels and most of the tour takes place in protected harbours and waterways.

It’s very unlikely that you will get wet, but being out on the water, there is always the chance! We have small lockers for rent at our office for personal valuables or you can bring a backpack and store it under your seat on the Zodiac.

You are welcome to wear whatever you feel comfortable in! We recommend dressing in layers, avoiding cotton/denim if possible, and wearing clothing that lets you move freely. Workout clothes are usually a great option!

Our kayaks come in two basic styles: Sit-on-top kayaks and Sit-inside kayaks. (both are available as singles or doubles) Sit-on-tops are a great choice for new or nervous paddlers as  they're stable, easy to get in and out of and there is no feeling of confinement.

Yes, depending on availability, you’re welcome to choose the style of kayak you prefer for your tour.

Paid parking is available throughout Granville Island near our office. There’s lots of space but on the weekends it can fill up, so plan to arrive a little early. Want to skip the hassle? You can easily catch a 10-15 min Uber or taxi from any hotel downtown!

If you feel your tour captain has provided a great experience, gratuities are encouraged— and welcomed—at the end of your tour. We believe that recognizing excellent service is a personal matter, though 15-20% of your ticket price is a good rule of thumb.
