Jun-aug KITSILaNO SHOWBOaT This
spectacular outdoor stage features
Scenic Sail
Vancouver is gorgeous from any angle, it’s true, but for
the best view you need to hop on a boat. That’s where
Electric Harbour Tours (page 74) comes in. See Coal
Harbour, Stanley Park and Canada Place from an eco-
friendly, zero-emission electric boat. And Vancouver
is more than just another pretty face: learn about the
city’s architecture, landmarks and First Nations history
from your tour guide/captain. Anchors aweigh!
