Being out on the water, there is always the chance of getting wet.

Is there parking available?

Paid parking is available throughout Granville Island near our office. There's lots of space but on the weekends it can fill up, so plan to arrive a little early. You can easily catch a 10-15 min Uber or taxi from any hotel downtown.

You are welcome to wear whatever you feel comfortable in. We recommend dressing in layers, avoiding cotton/denim if possible, and wearing clothing that lets you move freely. Workout clothes are usually a great option.

Will it be wavy or rough on the water?

By sticking to only calm and protected waterways, we very rarely encounter rough water or wavy conditions.

What to Expect in Our Bowen Island Dinner Tour

Home » What to Expect in Our Bowen Island Dinner Tour

Bowen Island is an idyllic destination in the heart of Howe Sound. Quiet and enchanting, it offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver and provides a perfect respite from the stresses of city life.

Let’s guide you through our Bowen Island Dinner Tour experience:

Set Off from Vancouver

Forget the ferry—our Bowen Island Dinner Tour will take you to Bowen Island on a Sea-Doo.

The 4-hour adventure starts in Vancouver, where participants begin an exciting ride on Sea-Doos, zooming across the waters of English Bay up to Howe Sound. This ride offers a speedy mode of transport and rare views of Vancouver’s skyline fading into the distance. While most visitors stick to the paved roads and pathways, you’ll glide through the world’s southernmost glacial fjord and experience landscapes only accessible by water.

Wildlife Encounters

As you cruise towards Bowen Island, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings that make this region unique. Upon visiting the local seal colony, get up close and personal with seals basking on rocky outcrops, bald eagles soaring overhead, and if you are lucky enough you might even see playful dolphins or orcas jumping through the water which are not uncommon along the route. Each moment on this Sea-Doo excursion brings you closer to the natural wonders that thrive in these pristine waters.

Dinner at Tuscany Restaurant

After the wildlife encounter, stop and dine at the famous Tuscany Restaurant, a little island pizzeria where you can indulge in delicious Italian cuisine while enjoying the greenery of the patio and calming island vibes. For this tour, enjoy one main entrée and one drink per person.

Witness Hidden Gems

Uncover the best-kept secrets of local boaters as your guide reveals where the seals are hiding, the ideal cove for a refreshing swim, and the most Instagrammable views along the way. Your friendly guide will share fascinating stories and local history, highlight key points of interest, and answer any questions you have throughout the tour.

Return to Vancouver

Right on before the sun sets, it’s time to say goodbye to Bowen Island and return to Vancouver. The ride back on the Sea-Doo lets you think about the day’s magical experiences while the city lights of Vancouver sparkle in the distance as you speed across the evening waters of Howe Sound and English Bay.

Here’s the Kicker:

On this exciting trip, you can enjoy the rugged scenery at Lighthouse Park. Visit Bowen Island’s charming village shops and marina. Plus, spot Anvil Island and Gambier Island, each with their own special beauty and natural sights to explore.
