Marine sightseeing tours on the beautiful BC Sunshine Coast.

GET OUT ON THE WATER & SEE THE BEST SIDE OF THE SUNSHINE COAST!

Thanks for looking at Sunshine Coast Tours! Our 35 years of local experience makes us the area’s longest running tour operation. Our boat tours give you the best opportunity to get to know the marine part of the Sunshine Coast. We can run tours every day because of the protection from weather that our inlets enjoy. We think our expertise lies in the marine operation, but our commentary is what we are best known for. It is well researched and constantly updated to give an overview of many of the features and history here.

We like to think of our tours as being interpretive. We hope to provide an understanding and connection with the local area. A lot of the foundation are in the stories we tell. It is nice to think we help to inspire deeper appreciation, provoke thought and build a connection with our visitors.

5 star rating

  • "Sunshine Coast Tours went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience. The trip was informative, beautiful, safe and inspiring. Bryce knows lots about the area and apparently the other captain is also knowledgeable. He made sure we were all comfortable and we had an hour and a half at Chatterbox Falls. Great Service and Spectacular Scenery"

    - Beth, Tripadvisor

  • "Thank you Captain Bryce for an amazing tour of Princess Louisa inlet and Chatterbox Falls. We really enjoyed listening to you share your knowledge of the area! You do it in a way that is genuine and not rehearsed like some other tours can be. Seeing transient orcas from only a few metres away wasn’t bad either..."

    - Abbey, Tripadvisor

  • "We saw orcas on our way to Princess Louisa inlet and saw them again on our way back. Our guide stopped the boat, so we could take pictures. We also saw lots of seals and eagles! The stop at the falls was long enough to eat your own picnic, take pictures and walk around the small trail. I would definitely recommend to everyone."

    - Chloé, Google

  • "The scenery is gorgeous but what really brought it to life was our guides knowledge of the area, the history, geography, and so much more. If you are looking for an informative tour in a beautiful part of the world, I would highly recommend Sunshine Coast Tours."

    - Karen, Google

  • "The tour to Princess Louisa Inlet was incredible. We both grew up in Vancouver near the water, but we have never seen such stunning views by boat. The stop at Chatterbox Falls was only one of the highlights of this trip. Jim did an amazing job as our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone."
