Vancouver Harbour & Howe Sound: Guided Jet Ski Tour

Vancouver Harbour & Howe Sound Guided Jet Ski Tour

This 2.5-hour guided jet ski tour takes you through Vancouver's harbour and into the dramatic Howe Sound fjord. You'll ride stable, beginner-friendly jet skis past Stanley Park and under the Lions Gate Bridge, then venture out to remote islands that can only be reached by water. Your professional guide leads the way, sharing stories about the region's geology and wildlife while you explore from completely new vantage points.

The tour covers diverse marine habitats where you can spot seal colonies, sea lions, starfish and jellyfish. Bald eagles frequently soar overhead, and you might even glimpse black bears or dolphins along the shoreline. You'll glide past Bowen Island and Gambier Island's rocky shores before heading into the wilder reaches of Howe Sound, where the city skyline gives way to pristine coastal wilderness.
