About
Takaya Tours offers one of the most unique and meaningful ways to experience The North Shore Edge, inviting guests to explore the waters and landscapes of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s traditional territory through guided canoe and cultural tours. Operating out of Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) in North Vancouver, Takaya Tours leads traditional cedar dugout canoe journeys, sharing stories, songs, and knowledge passed down through generations. Each tour provides an authentic window into Tsleil-Waututh history, culture, and connection to the land and water, all while gliding along the scenic shores of Burrard Inlet.
Special Features
Guests can embark on group canoe tours guided by experienced Indigenous leaders, with options for custom corporate and school group experiences. Tours often include cultural teachings, storytelling, and singing, offering a deep connection to place and heritage. For those seeking more adventurous outings, eco-tours and nature paddles allow participants to explore the inlet’s coastal beauty while learning about local ecosystems. All experiences are eco-friendly and community-focused, creating a sustainable way to engage with the rich Indigenous heritage of the region. Whether you're a visitor or a local, Takaya Tours provides an unforgettable opportunity to see the North Shore from a new, culturally enriched perspective.
