A great way to spend the morning

Published on Nov, 2024

We had such a great time on the water. Our captain was very informative and shared some great information about the wildlife and the city of Vancouver BC. It was a blast. The ride in the boat was one of the smoothest I’ve ever had!

Fun Boat Ride with Seal Sightings!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had such a great experience on this tour! The full body wetsuits were super warm and the boat ride was relaxing with some great views. Even on a rainy Vancouver day. Dani was our tour guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable and funny! We got to see a colony of seals on the tour. Would highly recommend to any international traveler!

Amazing
