Join an entertaining pirate-themed cruise from Vancouver’s Granville Island. This 75-minute interactive experience is perfect for the entire family. Set sail for False Creek with an expert crew that welcomes you aboard with a pirate name and costume — plus face painting for the kids — that will have you immersed in the world of the buccaneer. Ahoy Mate!

Watch for orca, gray and humpback whales on a full-day wildlife safari from Vancouver on a comfortable, covered boat. Learn about the whales’ lives, behavior and migration patterns from a trained naturalist, and try to spot the dolphins, seals, sea lions and bald eagles that thrive along the Pacific Coast. Whales are sighted on 85% of trips.

Have children who love to leap without regard to gravity? Take them to Kids Adventure Course in Maple Ridge, an outdoor park of aerial obstacle games and ziplines designed for kids ages 5 to 12. Kids embark on their adventure on their own, while you cheer them on, as they attempt to make it all the way to the finale, the Tarzan Swing. Two rounds of the games are included, with an optional upgrade to include the What’s To Fear Jump, a loose-line plunge from 40 feet high.
