The 4 Best Things to do at Night in Vancouver

FULL MOON PADDLE WITH ECOMARINE OCEAN KAYAK CENTRE

 For a truly romantic Vancouver experience, paddle in a double kayak by moonlight through the waters of English Bay with the Ecomarine Ocean Kayak Centre.

No experience is necessary for this two-hour moonlight adventure, and an amiable tour guide accompanies you for safety and minimal instruction should you need it. Your tour begins at sunset from a sandy beach in downtown Vancouver; from here you’ll paddle along the lapping water while taking in the city skyline and the outline of the North Shore Mountains and Stanley Park.
