Unreliable. Sail at your own risk!…read more Harbour Cruises of Vancouver completely failed to deliver on the promise of their Indian Arm cruise. They claimed smoke in the engine room and limped back to port before we even turned into the Arm. Other reviews have reported unexplained itinerary changes that eliminated the main part of the trip. One has to wonder if they don't go up the Arm simply to save money when it's not fully booked or if their boats are that unreliable. While I understand mechanical issues, their compensation policy was completely inadequate. They offered a free drink on board and a coupon for 15% off a future cruise. Anyone booking on the internet can get a 20% discount off any cruise! After much back and forth they finally offered a 20% refund. The final price after this discount was approximately double the price of a narrated harbor tour. We received an un-narrated tour of the container port instead of a tour of the natural environment, which is what we were promised. We feel cheated by Harbour Cruises of Vancouver. Sail at your own risk!

A really nice way to get across false creek from one side to the other. The tickets are pretty…read morecheap at a few dollars each depending on where you're going - even if you don't have a particular destination, it's fun to just ride along. It's pretty hard to tell which direction the ferry is going next though unless you're very familiar with the routes, so make sure you ask the driver just in case. I find that the ones I've interacted with all ask you where you're going before letting you on, so at least I haven't taken the wrong boat yet. They have a zone system for ticketing and at first it was a bit confusing for which zone ticket was needed to go where. But they have nice maps at each stop so it wasn't too hard to decipher after awhile. The boat drivers were also pretty nice and were happy to answer questions about tickets. I took the boats during the Big Picnic event at David Lam park. There were other people on the boat but it was not crowded at all. Boats also came all the time and so we didn't have to wait much before ours came. The boat doors were left open when I rode the boats and so it was really nice to be able to take pictures and videos without obstruction from the windows or clear screens. The creek is relatively calm most of the time and the rides are short, so most people probably won't get sea sick.

The kids especially seem to get really into it. As an adult, it's still enjoyable, but I probably wouldn't do it as a standalone activity without family. It giver more of that family experience vibe. I did notice a couple of the crew felt a bit rough around the edges in terms of service interaction outside of character. That being said, the setting in False Creek is beautiful. You get those classic Vancouver views the whole time, which honestly adds a lot to the overall experience even if the activity itself is more on the playful side.

I would never rent from this boat company again, and suggest no one else does either. DO not…read moree-transfer as your money will not be returned. I rented the Meridian 441 on July 19, 2020. I paid $1,000 deposit for gas, I was asked to e-transfer to Juan He. I spent a total of $120 gas on the yacht. Juan He is not returning my calls, and is not returning my $880. I had a horrible experience with Juan He. My car broke down the day I organized to pay cash deposit to Juan He, after that she was very rude and frustrated with me. I let her know that my car broke down, and my boyfriend was having second thoughts about the yacht due to Covid-19 and I would let her know as soon as I did about the yacht booking. I called back about 4 days later to book the yacht, she was still rude and stated that I had to pay full price of $3,808 in order to book the yacht. I e-transferred $1,904, and she threatened to cancel the booking and return my money. I asked if I could pay $1,904 deposit and pay the rest on the day of, and she angrily agreed. On July 19, she demanded a $1,904 e-transfer, or the yacht would not leave the Richmond dock to pick us up in False Creek. She also demanded a $1,000 e-transfer to pre-pay for gas. I paid, as she said she would cancel the charter if I did not. We reached False Creek, we were late for the charter understanding it would be going into our own time. We got on the boat and one bathroom did not work. We were promised 2 bathrooms. The other bathroom stopped working within an hour into the charter. We had no bathroom to use for the rest of the charter. Also, while on the yacht, the captain's driving was extremely unsafe. He did not seem qualified at all. My boyfriend has owned several boats/yachts before and was helping him the entire time, and was not able to enjoy his birthday as he was worried for our safety. The captain was not able to dock properly, and the yacht was rocking the whole entire time. Many passengers were thrown across the yacht and have bruises. The captain was also extremely rude and was yelling at the passengers of the party. He screamed "NO" when one passenger tried to take food from the top floor to the bottom floor. He stated all food must stay on the top floor, even though the food was flying everywhere. Also, he forbid us to take off the windows of the top floor of the boat, he claimed "they are hard to put back on." We were sitting on the top, and it was muggy and crowded, we said we would help put them back on and took them off ourselves. I understand that I did not show for the first payment, but that is no reason to mistreat your customer for the entirety of their booking and also steal their money.

They had us arrive at 10 AM with the rental lasting until 1 PM, though we had to watch a 20 minute safety video and get lifejackets and everything so by the time we got in the boat and started off, we had about 2 1/2 hours left. I guess that's why they give you the third hour free? Fuel was extra though, which we didn't realize. Regardless, we felt it was well priced compared to other places where renting a boat could be double or triple the price. our boat was clean and looked practically brand new. We really appreciated that there was a cover/canopy on the boat to give us shade. We had amazing weather and the whole trip was lovely. I would definitely recommend doing this.

Not only can you not lose because this is a FREE tour...but you will gain so much interesting info!…read more I'm sure hopping on and off a bus would be just fine, but for us, with just one short day in this vast city, we were looking for a quick connection, and that's exactly what we got on this recent Sunday. We met our tour guide, Ali at the designated time (11am) at the designated place, and 20 or so of us enjoyed an incredibly interesting walking tour of Chinatown. There is no way we would have gotten the feel for this city had we not taken this tour. Several folks were repeat tour guy visitors, so they must have enjoyed those as well. Our group had folks from several countries. It is a relaxed tour at a pace that is just right...not too fast and not too slow. Seriously, just right! And absolutely everyone in our group was happy to hand over generous thank you tips. Well-deserved. Ali was kind enough at the end of the tour to guide anyone who wanted dining suggestions or directions. For us, he was even kind enough to let us walk along with him since we were heading in the same direction. As a result, we were fortunate enough to get an extended tour, as he remained a wealth of Vancouver info as we went along. Highly recommend!
