Vancouver Ocean Sports, situated in the mouth of False Creek, Vancouver, is the perfect downtown locale to show staff, clients or even family the appreciation they deserve. Vancouver’s cityscape lights up with the impressive Northshore Mountains as its backdrop. The ocean environment is invigorating and dynamic, but beautifully serene by sunset. Wildlife abounds within a stone’s throw from the city’s beaches as resident eagles fly by and curious seals observe our wake.

Paddling on the beautiful waters of Vancouver in dragonboats or Hawaiian outrigger canoes provides the opportunity for a healthy team-building experience. Co-workers, family and friends will enjoy teamwork, fitness and fun. Whether a one day social or a 2 month program, Vancouver Ocean Sports can customize a program to meet your needs.

Ocean Outrigger Canoeing or Dragonboat Programs

Let us steer your crew through Vancouver’s beautiful marine ways and popular beaches. An introduction to outrigger canoeing or dragonboating includes basic instruction on paddling, an orientation to equipment and safety procedures. Catering options for lunch or hors d’oeuvres on the beach are also available. Our guided paddles are easily accessible as we are located at the Burrard Marina by downtown Vancouver, just minutes from public transit and plenty of public parking.

The Corporate Challenge

Without doubt, an outdoor team adventure that teaches motivation, teamwork, improves fitness and provides stress relief will only bring positive outcomes to work! We can organize inter-departmental competitions and train each crew to strive for a common goal by working together. Choose your vessel, dragonboat or outrigger!
