788 Quayside Drive, New Westminster, BC Canada, V3M 6Z6

SERENITY is the one word that describes this tour to the wilderness of Pitt Lake. After passing through the bustling activity on the Fraser River, passengers will emerge into the quiet tranquility and panoramic beauty of a majestic fjord. This beautiful, fresh water tidal lake is one of the largest of its kind. Grassy, reverse deltas appear daily in the center of the lake as the tide recedes. We’ll travel along the cliff side and observe the ancient First Nations pictographs. This area is still a wilderness and home to bears, deer and cougars. Our entertaining narrator will tell you about the history, legends and ecology of this amazing area.

Included in the Cruise
- A 6-hour combined river and lake cruise
- Tour along the Fraser River to the Pitt River, and then up into one of the most beautiful lakes in BC, Canada & North America
