Ocean is Yours - Tour Overview

Once you’ve experienced our Vancouver jetski tour, you’ll finally understand the rave reviews… Though to be honest, our backyard does most of the heavy lifting. After a quick safety briefing and tutorial by your professional guide, head out into the harbor during one of the most picture-perfect and serene times to jetski. The mornings offer smoother water, more wildlife, less boat traffic, and better light for snapping photos. But don’t let all this serenity fool you… Want to do some donuts or fly off a wave or two? Tuck into a secluded cove for a quick swim? Sneak up on a sunbathing seal to grab a quick selfie? The choice is yours. With 2.5 hours and a fun, knowledgeable guide to take you directly to the best local spots and hidden gems, you simply can’t go wrong with this best-selling Seadoo tour of Vancouver.

 

Exhilarating, Stable & Fun 

Our quick-accelerating Seadoos are simple to drive and stable enough for beginners to learn on – but fast and agile enough for spins, deep cornering, and letting it rip on the open water.

 

Access a Whole New World

While the majority of visitors stay on the pavement and pathways, you’ll ride into the world’s southernmost glacial fjord and experience unforgettable landscapes only accessible by water.

 

Local Gems & Hidden Hangouts

Discover the best-kept secrets of local boaters. Your guide will show you where the seals are hiding, the perfect cove to jump in for a swim, and take you to the most instagrammable views. 

 

Award-Winning Guides 

Beyond the jaw-dropping scenery, your experienced and friendly Jetski guide will share stories, and local history, point out highlights, and answer any questions you have throughout the tour.

 

Memorable Wildlife Encounters

With a visit to our local seal colony, get up close and personal with starfish, seals, sea lions, jellyfish, bald eagles, and even occasionally spot some of our black bears and dolphins.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Wonderful Morning on the Water! … We explored Howe Sound on a beautiful morning with very few other vessels around. The Seadoos were pretty easy to get the hang of and Kevin was an awesome teacher and guide. Beautiful scenery, fast Seadoos, open water, knowledgeable and easygoing guide to lead the way, spotting wildlife and landmarks…couldn’t ask for a better experience. Highly recommended and worth every penny! Thanks Kevin!

Awesome seadoo tour! …Even though it was raining at the beginning, Brodey made our tour fabulous. Water was so calm and we could easily race up to Gambier island with the group… Their seadoos are brand new, in perfect shape and really powerful (130hp). That means 85kmh on the water in no time. Great adventure. Thanks for the tour, Brodey.

We had a blast!! We had so much fun and saw amazing places and landscapes! Sven is a truly five star guide! He walked us through all the safety rules and important stuff to know, gave us a lot of fun facts & info about Vancouver… and created a great and fun experience on the water. He adapted the pace & speed so that each member of the group felt safe, comfortable and had fun! I really recommend this experience!

I opted for a private jet ski tour this time for my partner’s birthday (as a surprise) and she was absolutely blown away and had a BLAST! It was her first time and she said it was one of the funnest things she’s ever done 🙂 Our private tour guide Justin was EXCEPTIONAL and made our day on the water one to remember

Frequently asked questions

No, a full tank of fuel is included for your tour.

If you fall off, the emergency cut off switch will be automatically triggered and stop the Seadoo.  Your life jacket will keep you afloat while you get back on from the rear of the jet ski.

Yes! No experience is required. All you need to drive is a valid driver’s license and be 16 years or older. One of our staff will go over the controls and proper operation of the Seadoo. The first few minutes are within a no wake zone (5 mph speed limit) where you will get the feel of it before you accelerate out in the open water. Your guide will continue to give you tips throughout the tour.

You don’t need to know how to swim to ride a Seadoo. If you fall in, your lifejacket will keep you afloat while you get back on the Seadoo.

There is always a chance of getting wet out on the water. It also depends on the ocean conditions and your style of riding. We offer change rooms and complimentary wetsuits for you to wear.

We have full-length wetsuits that are optional and complimentary for all our guests. We also have change rooms that you can use.

One or two people can fit on our Seadoo’s, although it’s easiest to maneuver with just one person.

Guests often leave their shoes right on the dock where we depart from, but you are also welcome to leave them in a cubby inside the office. Water shoes are not needed but can help keep your feet warm.

The Deluxe models have ample storage under the hood. The Sport model has more basic storage with space for your phone, wallet, keys, a small bag but not a backpack.

It’s up to you. We offer complimentary pelican or waterproof cases that fit most phones. We also have waterproof cases you can purchase. We recommend keeping them in the storage compartment at the front of the Seadoo while you are moving.

Often our guests choose to wear a bathing suit and wetsuit combination, but you are welcome to wear anything you feel comfortable in. However, please note that denim is strictly prohibited on the Seadoo’s

We have cubbies in our office as well as small paid lockers for valuables such as wallets, passports and phones.

YES! We have comfortable, slim-design inflatable life jackets for all of our guests to wear.

There are no bathrooms on the boat! That being said, there is a bathroom available at our office you can use before and after the tour.

The office is a 10 second walk from the dock!

We offer 2 models of Seadoos

  • GTI se 130
  • GTI se 170 (has an additional 40hp)

Jet Ski, Waverunner and Seadoo are brand names of personal water crafts. They are all personal water crafts.

For riders 16- 18 years of age, you must provide your valid driver’s license to operate our Seadoos. If you’re 19 years of age or older, a valid driver’s license or passport must be provided to operate any of our Seadoos. 

We run tours rain or shine, unless the conditions are dangerous. Vancouver is known for its sunny skies from June through September, and you can grab a complimentary all-weather suit any time of year.

Please arrive 45 minutes prior to your departure.

A $12 collision coverage and $1000 deposit for regular GTI and $2000 for upgrade will be “held” (similar to renting a car) on a credit card for each Sea Doo in your possession. We release the funds as soon as the equipment is returned without damage, in good working condition. 

Some delays may be present depending on your bank’s policy. Please note that your Credit Card must be brought in and physically present in order to process the deductible.

Credit card holds are preferred. However, if you don’t have a credit card we can also do a debit withdrawal or cash hold and refund when you return without damage. 

If you acquired the Trip Protection for your booking during checkout, you can cancel up to 1 hour before departure time for a full refund. Otherwise, the following policy applies:
i
) 100% refund for bookings cancelled more than 7 days before your booking time.
ii) 50% refund for bookings cancelled between 3 and 7 days before your booking time.
iii) Bookings cancelled less than 3 days before your booking time have no refund.

For groups larger than 6 we require 7 days notice for a full cancellation without Trip Protection

You must be 19 years of age or older to sign your waiver. Anyone under 19 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian sign the waiver for them.

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. 

Advanced reservations are required. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance.

We’re here to help! Simply call us at (604) 736-5155 if you have any additional questions or concerns.
