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.

Frequently asked questions
Will I be charged extra for gas?
No, a full tank of fuel is included for your tour.
What happens if I fall off the Seadoo?
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.
I’ve never been on a Seadoo before. Can I still join the tour?
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.
Do I need to know how to swim?
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.
Will I get wet?
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.
Do you provide gear to keep us dry?
We have full-length wetsuits that are optional and complimentary for all our guests. We also have change rooms that you can use.
How many people can fit on a Seadoo?
One or two people can fit on our Seadoo’s, although it’s easiest to maneuver with just one person.
Do I wear shoes on the Seadoo? Do I need water shoes?
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.
Is there storage on my Seadoo?
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.
Can I bring my phone or camera on the Seadoo?
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.
Do I need to wear a bathing suit?
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
Where can I store my things?
We have cubbies in our office as well as small paid lockers for valuables such as wallets, passports and phones.
Do I need to wear a life jacket?
YES! We have comfortable, slim-design inflatable life jackets for all of our guests to wear.
Are bathrooms available?
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.
Are you located on the water?
The office is a 10 second walk from the dock!
What is the difference between your Seadoos?
We offer 2 models of Seadoos
- GTI se 130
- GTI se 170 (has an additional 40hp)
What's the difference between a Seadoo and Jet Ski?
Jet Ski, Waverunner and Seadoo are brand names of personal water crafts. They are all personal water crafts.
How old do you have to be to rent a Seadoo?
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.
What if it is raining?
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.
When do I need to arrive for my Sea Doo Tour?
Please arrive 45 minutes prior to your departure.
What is the deductible and how is it charged?
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.
I don’t have a credit card. Is there another way to hold the damage deposit?
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.
What is your cancellation policy?
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.
What if I need to cancel for a large group?
For groups larger than 6 we require 7 days notice for a full cancellation without Trip Protection
How old do I have to be to sign a waiver?
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.
Should I tip my tour guide?
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.
Do I have to make a reservation in advance?
Advanced reservations are required. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance.
What if I still have questions?
We’re here to help! Simply call us at (604) 736-5155 if you have any additional questions or concerns.
