Treat the family to a boat cruise around the calm waters of English Bay. It's the best way to discover the area's superb natural beauty.

English Bay is an interesting place kick off your day in Vancouver. This inlet along the shoreline is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other attractions like Stanley Park, Granville Island Public Market, and University of British Columbia to get a complete picture of what the area has to offer.
