Most ships dock in Vernon between 4 and 8 hours, during daytime. It's a short window — but more than enough for a real experience, provided every minute is optimized. We design your itinerary around your arrival time and your all-aboard, with a 45-minute safety buffer for the return to the dock. No queues, no group to wait for: you leave when you arrive, and you come back when you want.
Is a private tour better than the ship's excursion?
Onboard excursions are efficient but standardized: large coach, fixed schedule, timed photo stops, groups of 30 to 50 people. Our service takes a radically different approach, designed for travelers who want to experience rather than follow.
