Cruise by Canada Place for postcard shots of Vancouver’s waterfront “sails,” cruise ships (when docked), and the downtown skyline—an unmistakable city landmark from the harbour.

Track along the North Vancouver shoreline with a close look at working harbour life and waterfront neighbourhoods. The views here often feel more local and less touristy.

Glide past Deep Cove, a beloved North Shore pocket of calm water and scenic cabins. This is a classic “West Coast postcard” stop on the route.

See the Buntzen Powerhouse area along the arm—part of the region’s historic hydro infrastructure—adding a unique industrial-meets-wilderness contrast to the scenery.

Enter Indian Arm for a fjord-like stretch of calm water framed by steep mountains and dense rainforest. As you travel deeper into the inlet, the scenery turns wild and remote—watch for seals, seabirds, and occasional marine wildlife. The highlight of this section is reaching the Granite Falls area, where a waterfall pours down into the ocean for an epic photo moment before the return cruise.
