A little preparation goes a long way. Here’s how to stay warm and comfortable on Vancouver Zodiac tours during the colder months.
November in Vancouver can be misty, breezy, and chilly on the water, but with the right layers, you can stay warm and enjoy every moment of your boat tour. At Vancouver Water Adventures, safety and comfort come first, and every Zodiac guest is provided with a Mustang Survival suit and life jacket designed to keep you dry and insulated in cooler conditions.
Underneath the suit, we recommend dressing in warm, breathable layers. A moisture-wicking base layer, a cozy mid-layer like fleece, and a light sweater or long sleeve will help trap heat without feeling bulky. Avoid cotton, which holds moisture and can make you feel cold.
For your feet, closed-toe shoes are essential. Waterproof sneakers or boots are ideal, but even sturdy trainers will keep your feet warmer than sandals or flip-flops. If it’s especially cold, a pair of wool socks under the Mustang suit will make a big difference.
Don’t forget small accessories: a beanie or headband helps retain body heat, and thin gloves can keep hands comfortable while still allowing you to take photos or hold onto the boat rails. Sunglasses with a strap are also a good idea for cutting glare off the water.
With the right gear and the equipment provided by Vancouver Water Adventures, cooler weather boating can be just as enjoyable as a summer tour—and often comes with the added bonus of fewer crowds and peaceful shoulder-season scenery.
