Set within beautiful Howe Sound, Sewell's Marina is an ocean-adventure centre and moorage located in Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver. Home to a variety of fascinating sea life, this "ocean playground" is a perfect setting for exploring the best of BC's west coast from the Vancouver area.

Wildlife Eco-Trips, Package Tours & Adventure Scavenger Hunt!

Sewell's Marina offers a variety of activities for the independent traveller to the fun-seeking family. The Sea Safari is a wildlife eco-tour aboard a multi-passenger speedboat, where guests can see marine birds, eagles, seals, and fish in their own natural habitat and experience a real taste of coastal life. The two-hour adventure tours are accompanied by experienced guides. Or perhaps consider the Safari and Dinner Tour with an all-inclusive meal at the Horseshoe Bay Boathouse Restaurant.

The Taste of the West Coast Package includes a Sea Safari, dinner at The Boathouse Restaurant and finishes with a Harbour Air 20 minute scenic flight back to downtown Vancouver. Sewell's also offers a Sea to Tee Tour which includes a round of golf in a day of wildlife exploration.

Finally, the Sea Quest Scavenger Hunt is the ultimate family and team-building activity. Participants are divided into groups of 3 or 4, supplied with a speed boat, game map and question sheets, and then turned loose in the “Ocean Playground” to answer the clues and race to come back first!
