About this experience
Trade the city skyline for rugged coastal scenery on this 4-hour Lighthouse Park cruise.
Departing from Coal Harbour Commercial Dock, you’ll cruise along Vancouver’s shoreline toward West Vancouver’s Lighthouse Park, one of the most iconic coastal viewpoints in the region—rocky headlands, dense rainforest edges, and classic West Coast ocean air.
This trip is designed as a short “city-to-coast” escape: enough time to reach the lighthouse area, take in the views at a relaxed pace, and return downtown within four hours. Along the way, you may pass areas where local marine life is often seen, including seals (wildlife sightings vary).
Operated on a Premium 2-Star boat, this experience keeps things simple and smooth—clean presentation, comfortable seating, and practical coastal cruising—perfect for guests who want scenery, photos, and a relaxed rhythm without overcomplicating the day.
