Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours

I read good reviews on this so I booked a sunset dinner cruise for 2.We were the last ppl to arrive and where we were seated, ended up being the best seats in the house, in my opinion.I was doubtful the night before because there was rain in the forecast but there was no rain. In fact it was the perfect evening because it wasn't too hot.We departed at 6pm. They starting taking drink orders right away and then began serving the baskets of bread at 630pm followed by the main meal. The meal choices were; chicken or beef or salmon or vegetarian, with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. I had the chicken which was satisfactory. My husband had the beef which was a little tough.We were free to wonder about the boat, upper and lower deck.We really enjoyed the view as we went up the fraser river towards Barnston Island. I guess it depends on weather, tides and water conditions, as to how far up the river you go. We circled Douglas Island and were on our way back by 730pm. Dessert was served at 8pm, which was chocolate cake.Overall, the food was okay. They view/cruise was beautiful. The only server was great, Shafeen. He was very pleasant and we had a great conversation and found out that we've met him in the past, over 15 yrs ago.The cost of the cruise included a 3 course meal (drinks had to be ordered and paid for after the cruise) and the gratuity.We will definitely do this again, on a different route/tour.

It's alot of fun. We went on the October fest cruise up the Fraser River. The captain greets you on and off the boat which is nice. The service is good and friendly. The bathrooms are very small so if you are claustrophobic this might be an issue for you. The drinks cost $7 and up. Only one pitcher of beer is available and sold out in the first 15 mins. The tour itself lasts from 7 to 10 pm. We just had dessert, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and New York cheesecake with caramel sauce and whipped cream, it was tasty but you can tell it was store brought. The DJ, Dave was fun. The music starts in the 60's and works it way up to present music. Overall it was a fun few hours on the river.

We brought my mom on the paddle wheeler dinner cruise for her 80th birthday. My mom, our kids and other family members had an excellent time. The staff were excellent, service was excellent, food was great and the cruise was fantastic. We had one issue with a drink (personal preference) and the staff quickly rectified it with no questions asked. Both kids wanted to come back again the next night. Highly recommend this cruise as something unique and different to experience. Also, the view of the riverfront from the vantage point of the river is wonderful.

Second times a charm ! After sadly not being able to leave dock a few weeks ago, due to techical difficulties, we were rebooked onto the cruise yesterday. Wonderful crew and lunch and despite the rain on the way back, a great time was had by all.

We chartered the entire boat to celebrate our recent wedding, so in essence a late wedding reception. The crew were very efficient, pleasant and professional. The food was fantastic as well. We chose the Captain's Feast and it was perfect. We had 65 guests and there was plenty of room with no crowding. The views along the river are stunning. All of our guests were very happy, as were we! This is an experience that anyone would enjoy. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We took the Pitt Lake 6 hour cruise and loved it. The crew were helpful and cheerful, the cruise and historical information so interesting, and the onboard food service was excellent. We plan to return to take one of the other cruise options.

The tour guides/ crew were awesome! Great experience traveling on the pitt lake. Lunch was well done by the chef its a good time all around! Dress warm as it does get very windy!

Went on a dinner cruise today and it was so much fun. The staff was very kind and accomodating. I love that there's so much details and history in some parts of the boat. It was kinda cloudy today but the sunset was beautiful nonetheless.

My husband and I got married on the Paddlewheeler boat in August 2022. It was the best wedding I've ever been to!! The food was excellent, the staff were attentive, and the wedding coordinator worked hard to make sure everything was perfect. We greatly appreciate the work that the crew put in to make our day a success!!

Most enjoyable Cruise on a sunny afternoon to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The narration was very informative as well during the cruise.
