Excellent experience. Sam was knowledgeable about the sites and very friendly.
We had one day in Vancouver and chose this boat tour, which was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon! We took our five children (ages 8-20), and we all loved it. It had a bit of adventure, serene natural settings, and some historical perspective. Marco was an enthusiastic guide who made our tour memorable. We went out on a sunny day but were happy for the puffy wetsuits that kept us comfortable when it got windy. Highly recommend!
Fantastic! Captain Sam's enthusiasm for the wildlife and our time on the water was contagious ~ everyone in our party had an exceptionally good time!
One of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Captain Jack was wonderful—knowledgeable, experienced, great at spotting and pointing out wildlife. Entirely well worth the ticket price and the best possible way to spend 3 hours in Vancouver!
Beautiful experience on the water. Ray was an excellent guide, sharing his knowledge and love of the area.
If I could give this tour a 10 stars I would!! It far exceeded our expectations! The zodiac felt adventurous! We saw the city and then we saw complete nature (land that could only be accessed by boat). It truly felt like we were in a magazine! Absolutely breathtaking! Our guide (Cesar) was fantastic!!! I would recommend this your 100x over!
Fantastic experience! So relaxing being out on the water! Captain James gave us great commentary as we rode along. Saw waterfall close up as well as seals. One of the best part of our trip to Vancouver!
This was a great way to see Vancouver! Our guide, Simon, was wonderful, not only as a tour guide, but also aiding my 92 year-old father on and off the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Vancouver. The information Simon shared about the city, the infrastructure and the environment was excellent and more than we expected. Enjoyed every minute!
A balanced fun, informative and relaxing time on the water! It was well worth it!! Marco was an exceptional host and guide!
What a beautiful and fun tour! The speedboat was such a great way to see the scenery, and we were even lucky enough to see a whale. Even though the tour time was almost over, Marko was so patient and let us stay and watch it, which made the experience even more special. Marko was amazing — by far one of the best guides I’ve had in a long time. Great vibe, amazing music, super friendly and patient, and he genuinely seems to love what he does. That makes such a difference. Thank you, Marko, for such a beautiful and memorable day. So much fun and absolutely worth it!
