This is a PRIVATE tour, which means it's completely customizable! You decide where you want to spend more time - soaking in the sun at Bedwell Bay, exploring the Twin Islands, checking out the waterfront homes, dropping anchor at Granite falls, swimming perhaps - you decide.

What you'll see and do
Granite Falls is a stunning natural wonder located in the Indian Arm, just north of Vancouver. It’s situated about 18 kilometers from Deep Cove.The falls cascade down a massive granite slab, creating a spectacular sight. The water flows for about 150 feet, making it an awe-inspiring place to visit. The dock was damaged in a storm in 2023 and had to be removed. There is no dock making going ashore unlikely with larger vessels, but with Burrard Inlet Charters & Tours it’s possible!

Silver Falls is a scenic wonder located several kilometers north of Deep Cove on the west side of Indian Arm, northeast of Vancouver, British Columbia. The falls are nestled amidst lush greenery, and the river flows from Elsay Lake just below Mt. Seymour. Tucked away in a nook of the steep west shoreline, they can be easily missed, but Not with Burrard Inlet Charters & Tours that will get you up much more close and personal with the falls than any larger tour boat possibly could!
15 minutes here
Twin Islands, nestled in the heart of Say Nuth Khaw Yum Park (also known as Indian Arm Park), offer a captivating blend of natural beauty and wildlife. Sparse vegetation, open cover, and rocky ledges characterize the islands, providing a serene escape.

Powerhouse 1 - This century-old plant was originally built to provide hydroelectric power to Vancouver’s streetcars in the early 20th century. It’s named after Johannes Buntzen, the first general manager of the B.C. Electric Co. Powerhouse 2 - Not as easy to find on foot, Powerhouse 2 is best viewed from the water. Its scenic surroundings and classic architecture (one of the powerhouses resembles a castle fortress) have made it a favored film location. In fact, it starred as the villainous clown Pennywise’s lair in the 1990 television miniseries based on Stephen King’s “It”.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver cost?
+
Prices start at $599 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.
Is Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Granite and Silver Falls Private Boat Tour in Vancouver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout, Epic Electric Bike Tour of Vancouver, Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, & Shannon Falls Tour from Vancouver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
