There's nothing more relaxing than a day on the water - especially for visitors who don't live on the coast. It's a way of life for many Vancouverites, so there are limitless options for spending time on, or in, the Pacific.

Take a sea-kayak lesson. Rent scuba gear. Or learn how to windsurf!

For those who want to enjoy the water without getting wet, there are dinner cruises, fishing charters, motorboat rentals, and authentic Native cedar canoes complete with guides offering narrative and traditional songs.

Or for a low cost, fun transit option, jump on the SeaBus or False Creek AquaBus as part of Vancouver's unique public transportation.
