2.Evening Cruise with Dinner Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 281 reviews · 150 - 210 minutes · from $167

Spend 150 to 210 minutes on a Vancouver evening cruise with an all-you-can-eat West Coast buffet, in-house music, and views of downtown, the North Shore Mountains, West Vancouver, English Bay, and False Creek. The route and vessel can change, but the evening is built around dinner, music, and sunset from the water.

“This Dinner Cruise is well worth the money! We had a very enjoyable evening, beautiful scenery, and very helpful and attentive staff. The other thing that I would like to note is the entertainment: simple guitar and drum duo, the singer had a killer voice - and it was not overwhelming. Would do again!”
