3 BEST Canada Boat Rides for Every Asian Visiting British Columbia
One of the first things on my agenda, when I was planning my trip to Canada, was to include a route that involves some sort of boat tour. Maybe not the week-long cruise type of boat, but more like the quick every day like-a-local kind, which is abundant in Canada. It’s an excellent way to experience the culture in Canada, and since Canada is home to the world’s longest coastline, you are bound to find really good ones to try out.
Although every Asian would probably know about the Niagara Falls Cruising, or even the UNESCO heritage site along the Rideau Canal, it might be a challenge to narrow down the ones you need to try first, especially if there are so many to choose from. Every Asian would probably go in big groups, and selfie-safe kinds of choices, but how to really identify which one? Even more, how to narrow it down if, let’s say, you are visiting British Columbia alone?
From boat tours, kayaking and canoeing, dolphin and whale watching, river rafting and tubing, fishing charters, speed boat tours, and other water sports activities like scuba and snorkeling, there are so many adventurous choices for everyone!
If you are like a formulaic Asian seeking out something relatively free and easy, not too cumbersome and not too costly more than anything else (because, yes – we would rather splurge on food, right?), then here are the three starter choices for you. These are the ones I’ve personally liked the most. They aren’t too heavy on the timings and aren’t too demanding on the rules, but they sure offer so much class and culture that you’ll want to experience when visiting British Columbia, Canada. All aboard!
BC Ferries
Nothing is more glorious than that feeling of the warm sun on your face and the sea breeze blowing through your hair, or if you have no hair, then caressing your skin. It’s a magical treat to be on the upper deck during your crossing and people tend to find a spot anywhere they can to relax. Just be aware that once you launch the ship will sound its horn, and can sometimes startle kids. The ship's captain always announces a little warning before hand though so you’ve time to prepare those little ears.If you’re extra fortunate you might spot some orca’s during the crossing. The captain will usually make an announcement so everyone can get a chance to see. Read more at: https://www.honestcamper.com/blog/2018/5/4/bc-ferries-planning-and-dos-and-donts
Victoria Harbor Ferries
Once you’ve checked in to your hotel, head down to the harbour. The water is alive with boats – with everything from huge cruise ships and luxury yachts to water taxis and dinghies. Victorians seem to spend as much time on the water as they do on land. Start your trip off with a taste of city life on land and sea with a walk along the waterfront to Fisherman’s Wharf. The path runs past the ferry terminal and through flower-filled Laurel Point Park. On one side of you are boats gliding past and seaplanes above coming in to land and on the other are smart waterside apartments and hotels. About 15 minutes walk away is Fisherman’s Wharf, with rows of colourful floating homes mixed with food stalls, fishing boats and the occasional friendly seal.

False Creek Ferries
Whether you’re visiting Vancouver or a local Vancouverite, the Ferries are a great way to get from one place to another. The boats make stops up and down False Creek every 15 minutes or less, and are a relaxing way to travel while taking in some of our City’s beauty. Resident Experts can be spotted most frequently travelling between Stamps landing to Yaletown and Yaletown to Granville Island.
