What you'll see and do
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.
10 minutes here
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.
15 minutes here
The Quay Market & Food Hall
Just steps from the SeaBus terminal, Lonsdale Quay Market is a lively waterfront public market and the perfect place to taste some local foods. Wander the bright, skylit halls filled with fresh food stalls, local vendors, and artisan shops,
45 minutes here
The Shipyards
Right next to Lonsdale Quay, The Shipyards District is a vibrant waterfront gathering place built on North Vancouver's historic industrial roots. We stroll the scenic promenade and visit some local restaurants, and take in stunning views across the harbour to the downtown skyline.

Kelsy was a lovely guide, very friendly and answered all of our questions. The food choices were great and a nice variety, and it was a nice little walk around the shipyards/shoreline.

Learned and tasted so many things!
We had a fantastic experience on this food tour! It was our first food tour ever, and even though we live in the lower mainland and frequent North Vancouver, we learnt so much and got to discover so many amazing local businesses. Shout-out to our tour guide, Sean, who is very funny and knowledgeable. Thank you so much!
Response from the operator: We are so thrilled to hear you had a great time with Sean on our North Van tour :D

Kelsey and the tour were great
Absolutely loved this food tour and especially our guide Kelsey for our last full day in Vancouver and to discover North Vancouver. She was a delight-kind, extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and made sure we were 100% taken care of and had a blast. Had no idea so many cool eateries and shops existed in this area. Thanks for a fantastic afternoon!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing review! Kelsey will be so happy to hear it.

Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats cost?
+
Prices start at $155 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 Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats 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 Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 85 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 Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats?
+
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 Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats?
+
Around 30 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 Taste North Vancouver Shipyards - Food Tour with Local Eats 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.
