Rent & Ride or Join a Guided Tour

Whether you want to go at your own pace or learn the stories behind what you're seeing, we have an option for you. Our Waterbike rentals put you in control of your own adventure, while our guided tours bring a local perspective to every stop along the route. Either way, you'll see Victoria from an angle most visitors never get.

A Working Harbour Like No Other

Victoria's Inner Harbour is one of the most dynamic and visually stunning urban waterfronts in Canada. Pedal past the iconic Parliament Buildings and the landmark Fairmont Empress Hotel, both framed beautifully from the water. Watch floatplanes lift off overhead, ferry traffic weave through the harbour, and cruise ships dwarf the skyline — all while you glide quietly through the middle of it on your waterbike.

Where the City Meets the Wild

The Gorge Waterway is where Victoria's urban edge gives way to something quieter and wilder. Paddle past a protected bird sanctuary and keep your eyes open for harbour seals lounging on the rocks, river otters darting through the shallows, and sea stars clinging to the pilings below. On a lucky day, orcas have been spotted making their way through these waters too.
