Waterfront Station

Begin at Waterfront Station, one of Vancouver's most iconic transit hubs and a historic landmark in its own right. Housed in a grand early-1900s heritage building on the edge of Gastown, it's the meeting point for the SkyTrain, SeaBus, West Coast Express, and buses — making it the perfect launch pad for exploring the city. With Gastown, Canada Place, and the waterfront all just steps away, it's both a practical starting point and a beautiful piece of Vancouver history.

Seabus

From Waterfront Station, guests hop aboard the SeaBus for a scenic round-trip harbour crossing. This iconic passenger ferry glides across Burrard Inlet to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver and back, offering sweeping views of the downtown skyline, the working harbour, and the North Shore mountains along the way. It's a relaxing, quintessentially Vancouver experience — and one of the best value sightseeing rides in the city.
