    Classic Kayak
    My daughter and I booked the 2 hour Smooth Classic Kayak Tour of False Creek. Jesse was our guide, and she was fantastic! the tour wasn't difficult and definitely all levels of kayakers would enjoy the experience. We saw a few harbour seals while kayaking and watched a Sunday morning dragonboat race - FUN! Thanks Jesse! T & T

    Kayaking in Burrard Inlet
    My son and I really enjoyed our kayaking afternoon out of Jericho Ecomarine Paddlesports. We rented a tandem kayak and explored Burrard Inlet for a few hours - what an amazing way to experience the area with an ultimate ocean view also checking out Point Grey and the fantastic homes being built along the waterfront. The staff at Ecomarine were awesome, they had gear and equipment ready and helped us plan our afternoon with the changing weather as first time paddlers in the neighbourhood.

    Amazing kayak summer camp experience
    We had a wonderful time kayaking in the summer camp. We had so much fun with the other kids and amazing teachers! There were seals swimming around us. Thank you very much to EJ and the whole team

    A Trip Like No Other
    I want to express my deep gratitude to Silke, Kailey and Wild Root Journeys for the incredible experiences I have had on both the Broughton Archipelago and the Nuchalitz Islands kayaking trips. Wild Root Journey is a gem of a company. Previous reviews about the food, superb equipment and lessons are all true. However, I want to comment on what I experienced, such as the day we floated down the inlet with our eyes closed, listening to the sounds of the birds, or the joy and awe of seeing whales in the distance or the porpoises splashing, playing and racing in the water close to our camp one night. These are the experiences that I think about many times. Silke knows what is important and tries to give every member of the group an adventure that is like no other.

    As much fun to watch as to do
    Near the Science World Ferry stop, there is a great little business that rents kayaks for the False Creek Floaters. We watched them from the Science World area and enjoyed seeing them get out there and ply the waters. Must be a challenge to avoid the ferry boats though!

    Go for it!
    My sister and I recently did a Curve of Time charter and it was just fabulous. The crew were great and couldn't do enough for us, the meals were fabulous and heaps of activities. I would certainly recommend it, one of the best things we did on our trip to Canada.

    Talking Trees - Talaysay Tours
    My daughter and I booked a tour with Talking Trees, Talaysay Tours which was advertised through our AirBnB booking. We were provided with excellent communication prior to our walk about meeting place and time. Candace arrived to the meeting spot at Stanley park and greeted us warmly. Her guided walk was full of important information about Indigenous knowledge, history and current political realities. She was gracious and warm, even supplying our group of six with hot herbal teas. Our conversations ranged from joint management of pristine wild areas to natural childbirth to eco tourism opportunities and challenges. She even provided us with the reference for an aboriginal First Nations restaurant Salmon n' Bannock that we visited that evening for a delicious meal. All visitors to First nations territories should have the essential knowledge and perspectives of a First Nation representative like Candace. Thank you so much for the Talking Trees tour Candace! It was the highlight of our trip to Vancouver!

    Exploring Howe Sound
    We so enjoyed our three-days away kayaking Howe Sound. We brought our 12 and 17 year old girls and made some wonderful family memories together. It was so fun to island hop and be right on the water during the hottest weekend of the year. :)

    John and Jess are great guides - super relaxed, but extremely well-prepared. They are able to pivot with different situations, anticipate tides, etc. They had all the gear so we didn't have to worry about anything from all the kayak-related equipment to wet bags, tents and even sleeping mats.

    We couldn't believe that each meal was not only healthy and delicious, but made fresh from scratch. Seriously. No freeze-dried packets or instant noodles! John was even kind enough to accommodate all our challenging allergies and restrictions - even down to the snacks.

    Thank you so much for everything, John and Jess! We can't wait to do it again soon!

    Awesome
    We did the half day canyoning tour in Kelowna. My two daughters 16 and 19 and my husband. What a fabulous adventure! We repelled down a waterfall, zip lined into the water and slid down natural water slides. Guillaume was fabulous always pushing us to try it but letting us know.all the options if we were hesitant. Always gel safe and it was a great adrenaline rush.
