Beautiful experience our Captain and Tour Guide were amazing. They were very accommodating and made the experience perfect.

Fantastic and Little Kid Approved

Published on Oct, 2024

We’ve been on various guided tours across Canada and this was by far the best. The views were beautiful, the boat was comfortable and not crowded. However what made this tour perfect was Gina and Kirstie. Gina and Kirstie’s knowledge of the area, local legends and how they went above and beyond to interact with the passengers was really fantastic. We also want to note that this was an extremely family friendly activity with both Gina and Kirstie demonstrating kindness and attention to our 3 year old daughter and the other children on board. Would 100% do this tour again and recommend it to everyone.

Great trip
