Journey beyond Deep Cove and deeper into Indian Arm on a private six-hour sauna boat voyage toward Silver Falls. The cedar sauna is hot when you board, so your group can begin immediately while enjoying the upper lounge, lower lounge with table seating for food and snacks, freshwater and saltwater showers, and your own music. A complimentary onboard Insta360 X5 rental is included to capture scenic views, group moments and jumps once the boat is anchored, alongside optional swimming, the paddleboard and floaties.

The six-hour Silver Falls Expedition is designed for groups wanting a deeper escape into Indian Arm, with more time to cruise, sauna, relax and experience the scenery together. The entire Hot Voyage sauna boat is reserved exclusively for your group of up to 12, with no strangers onboard.

The cedar sauna is hot and ready when you board, so the experience begins immediately. As you cruise beyond the Deep Cove area and farther into Indian Arm, move between the panoramic sauna, upper lounge, lower lounge with table seating, freshwater and saltwater showers, scenic decks and six-speaker Bluetooth sound system. Bring your own food and drinks and enjoy them together while the mountain and forest scenery passes by.

A complimentary Insta360 X5 rental is included for use during the voyage, allowing your group to capture panoramic scenery, group videos and other memorable moments. Once the boat is anchored near Silver Falls, you can also record jumps and enjoy optional swimming, the paddleboard and floaties before warming up again in the sauna. Guests who prefer to remain onboard can continue relaxing in the lounges, showers and deck areas.

Silver Falls is a natural, seasonal waterfall, so its appearance and water flow vary with rainfall and snowmelt. With a full group of 12, the six-hour private voyage works out to approximately CA$50 per person, per hour, making it a memorable choice for milestone celebrations, family gatherings, team outings and groups seeking a longer West Coast wilderness experience.

1

Board in Port Moody

Arrive 15 minutes early, shoes into the bin, quick welcome and safety briefing. The cedar sauna is already hot — first rounds start while we’re still pulling away from the dock.

2

Cruise up Indian Arm

About 90 minutes of cruising deep into Indian Arm — steep mountains, forested shores, and quiet water, cold drink in hand. Sauna, rooftop deck, your playlist on six speakers.

3

Anchor near Silver Falls

The longest stretch of your charter — we anchor in calm water near Silver Falls, often for around 150 minutes. Ocean plunge off the boat, paddleboard and floaties in the water, saltwater deck shower for the undecided — then straight back into the heat. Waterfall flow varies with season, rainfall, and snowmelt.

4

The return leg

About 90 minutes of cruising home — time for a last round or two in the heat. Rinse off in the freshwater shower, change in the private washroom, and step off warm, calm, and reset.

Important: Routes, destinations, timings, boarding methods, anchorages, and activities are shown as a guide and may change based on weather, tides, marine traffic, regulations, safety, and operational conditions. These changes do not constitute cancellation and do not entitle guests to a refund if the charter proceeds. See our Terms and Conditions page.

You board in the Port Moody area — the gateway to the sheltered, calm waters of Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm. The exact meeting spot, map pin, and arrival instructions are sent right after you book, so your group lands at the right dock on the first try.

Arrive 15 minutes early. Time to find the meeting point, drop outdoor shoes in the storage bin, and confirm waivers before departure.

Boarding is direct or by tender. Depending on tide and dock access, you’ll step straight aboard or take a short, scenic tender ride out to the boat — crew guides you either way.

No outdoor shoes onboard. Go barefoot or bring clean, indoor-only flip-flops. A bin is provided for your shoes at boarding.
