Join us this holiday season
100,000 Lights in 20 Nights

Get on a boat at Rocky Point and see the Indian Arm as you are transported to a camp of wonder and magic. Disembark as you are welcomed onto our private dock, but don’t take your boots off just yet!

Like Hansel and Gretel, trek through a magical Forest of Lights, yet without any witches or candy, and snuggle in dining domes, marvel in a life-sized Gingerbread Tea House with hot tea, and find healthy pizza, ramen with festive drinks and desserts in Nutcracker Hall!

Our team has worked day and night to add extra twinkles and sprinkles of magic to the climb up to Camp Howdy. But wear shoes fit for a rainy Vancouver and dress for warmth. Be prepared to be awed by the beauty of the walk-up. Areas can get muddy or slippery on the dockway and path, so heels and dress shoes will not suffice.

Sold Out!  On opening day Friday November 10
Beyond our wildest expectations, our boat is full and we are overflowing with joy, but we also would love to share the magic of Camp Howdy with even more fellow Vancouverites. Our team didn't even have a chance to invite our own family and friends, who are naturally disappointed that they will have to wait another year. Then we had an idea... 

What if we chartered a second boat for you?

So we looked and found another one, the same as the first boat taxi, but dress warmly. It's better than being outdoors as the passenger area is covered. Due to popular vote and demand, we have gone all in and we charted the second boat for you on Saturdays and Sundays! It's the same link as the Second Sailing below. We are sure it will sell out quickly as demand is very high, so book as soon as you can. This second boat will be available starting Monday Nov 13!

A Second Wind, A Second Sailing!
We could also do a second sailing on our 1st boat on Sat and Sundays at 6:15 pm. You get to Camp Howdy at 7:15, still ample time to eat, experience and glow in wonder and magic. Then head back to Rocky Point at 9:30.
