This was one of the highlights of my trip to Canada. I had originally booked a seal and whale sight seeing tour. I was contacted the day before to advise they had very few booked on that tour and they offered me a free upgrade to this tour. Out tour guide was Danni, she was really cool and made everyone feel very comfortable. The ride out of the bay and up to Indian arm was amazing. We were provided with survival suits, but i would recommend bring a hat and gloves. it gets cold. The views where stunning and Danni was a wealth of information and had good humour. Not my intended trip but is turned out to of of the best things I did. Weather was perfect so maybe we lucked in. But I would recommend if you want to see Vancouver from a different perspective. Vancouver water adventures were really well run and had excellent communication.

I want to preface this by saying I'm sure this tour would be great if you are in the correct clothes for the day. No one can help the weather but this is more about appropriate preparation. I checked after the tour and couldn't find any reference as to what to wear. I think we were falsely reassured by seeing survival suits were provided. They are not water proof so on a wet cold day the water soaks through to your undies relatively quickly. Also with about 6 degrees ambient and raining, real temp is below zero. So woolen gloves when wet no good and you need water proof shoes. Being cold for a bit is fine, but wet and cold down to underwear and numb hands and feet does diminish the enjoyment when temp is so low. I think either water proof gear should be provided, or there should be clear instructions about what to wear on the day. Most people I suspect will assume a survival suit will keep them warm and dry mostly, which it doesn't. The guide was fantastic given the conditions and this is no reflection on her. So by all means go on this tour but my advice is 1. Probably avoid winter 2. If you do go in winter bring your own full water proof gear, including fleece under layers, wind/waterproof gloves eg gortex, waterproof shoes/boots. And consider a balaclava as the rain stings your face at pace. You can always leave stuff in the office if the weather is good.

Absolutely beautiful tour. Wear rain gear and dress warmly. You wear a suit, but it’s cold and wet out there on the water espywhen you are moving. (Dress like you would to ride a motorcycle when it’s raining.) I would go again and highly recommend it.

I sent a review last month but..... It was a great excursion. Our female guide who was young and had blondish hair was absolutely terrific.Informative and educational . Unbelievable scenery.

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!

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!

Spectacular views, well informed guide , a terrific excursion. The female guide, I forget her name- blond with a braid- made the experience the best.

After the excursion it was noted that red bumps became present in the areas that began to get itchy while wearing the wetsuit. They developed into a bacterial skin infection which has traveled across the body and has gotten worse. The excursion itself was fun, but the cleaning of the wetsuits at the end was up to the people who used them. Likely, whomever used the wetsuit before didn't properly clean it or skipped it altogether. Considering the skin infection and the fact people openly pee on them that's a gross thought. Not really worth spending money to get an infection which seems to be growing immune and persist through topical treatments imo.

Greg was the best skipper and guide we could have wanted. Enthousiastically and clear pointing out many interesting details about wildlife and history in the area that you will not easily find online. Very knowledgeable. Took the time to show the interesting things to all sides of the boat. Thanks Greg for all the extra's. For me personally I could miss the music on most of the speedy miles, but fair to say it also provided fun and energy. In general a stunningly beautiful trip, well on time, clearly informed, also about safety, a fast and rather comfortable boat/zodiac, good suits provided. Recommend it.

Amy is super nice and an expertise in sea, sea animals and surrounding environment. We are happy to join her tour. It was a great experience and really recommend the tour! Thank you!

Greg was our guide/captain. He was knowledgeable, friendly and a great captain. The boat was comfortable and the ride was fun, fast and controlled. Greg stopped at the scheduled locations, explaining and answering questions. He also stopped and pointed out bald eagles and seals. The three hours flew by and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a fun afternoon seeing the area.

This tour was so much fun! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, but I love that he also gave us a few zooms up close around the tankers out on the water and did a few donuts on the water (wide circles...nothing that would make you sea sick). We saw so many seals! I wasn't ready for the tour to end and very much want to do it again! The views are amazing, the animals are adorable, and the ride was a blast!

Great experience. Guides were knowledgeable and fun. The views and photos were outstanding. Thank you for a great experience.

What an absolutely wonderful tour. My 70-year old dad and I were on a zodiac with about a dozen people with Amy as our guide. It’s three hours of tour along the waterfront, across the bay, up a fjord, to a couple of absolutely beautiful natural attractions. We saw seals, jellies, birds, and learned about the communities in the forested areas around Vancouver. Additionally, Amy shared some knowledge about the First Nations folks and their history in the area. It got a bit wet and chilly, but the weather suits they put you in work very well. I’d recommend a hat and sunglasses.

Captain Jack was a fantastic boat guide. Full of knowledge, great stories to share, considerate of the boat riders, and so appreciative of the glorious sites to visit. His love of the land is apparent in his tour. This is a perfect way to spend a few hours of your vacation and fully embrace the beauty of the area. The orange suits were comfortable and appreciated in the chilly air. Honestly, I was a bit nervous about the bumps and turns on a high speed boat, but it was smooth sailing all along. This is a must do. I hope you meet Captain Jack, too!
