Wheelchair friendly : Please call ahead as accommodations can be made for disabled guests.

Family friendly : Yes, although kids must be older than 7.

Where to eat : Your closest bet (with a great view) is the popular waterfront restaurant Carderos. You can also walk along the promenade to a distinctly shaped bar and grill called Lift.

Where to Stay : We recommend staying with our trusted partner Holiday Inn when visiting Vancouver.

Getting There : You can find the Sea Vancouver office inside the lobby of the Westin Bayshore Hotel, 1601 Bayshore Drive. There is street and underground parking available.

Note from Robin : You’ll need to arrive thirty minutes before departure. Book ahead to avoid disappointment, especially on a sunny day! Dress in layers, as the wind can get cool. There’s no bathrooms on the Zodiac so make a final pit stop before walking down to the boats. The skipper can launch the Zodiac right off waves in the harbour or make the ride a lot calmer, it all depends on how adventurous the passengers are. You might get a little wet, so bring a ziploc for your camera (especially if it’s raining!)
