    Fly Over Canada offers a delightful escape from the mundane, injecting a burst of excitement into our day.
    From soaring over snow-capped mountains to gliding above picturesque coastal vistas, the immersive film content is a treat for the senses. It brings me much closer to those beautiful places than the ordinary movie.
    I always enjoy this attraction and take my friends and family visitors to experience it with me. The experience is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of our planet, igniting a desire to explore and discover more.

    PNE was pretty fun this year although some of the bigger acts were missing (Peking acrobats, etc). We saw the horse show, super dogs, high diving, knights of valour, pig races and the magic show. The magic show at the barn was pretty impressive even though it was fairly short! They also had dinosaurs and a Monet experience which was pretty cool.

    My husband and I just took this tour and I can’t say enough about how good of an experience we had. German is an amazing tour guide. He showed us some of the prettiest views and he is also very knowledgeable about the history of Vancouver. We really enjoyed the tour and we will definitely recommend it. It’s a must do if you are visiting. German and the lady at the font desk (unfortunately I forgot to ask her name) are so nice and friendly. Thanks for an incredible experience.

    Really friendly and helpful staff. Bikes were brilliant for looking round Stanley Park. Helmets included, and locks provuded. Loved it!

    What a wonderful experience we had with Harbour Air! They were on time, the little airport harbors are delightful, and the staff are all wonderful. We flew from Vancouver to Victoria for a day trip. On the way to Victoria, the pilot chose me to sit up front with him! I was allowed to wear the headset and listen to the local air traffic controller. Very cool experience. They fly at 1000 ft, so it was a very smooth flight. The views from the plane were gorgeous. Take off and landing on the water was smooth and fun. The plane ride back from Victoria was equally lovely while sitting in the passenger area of the plane.

    I highly recommend Harbour Air if you only have a day trip from Vancouver to Victoria. The flight takes 35 minutes, versus a 1.5 hour ferry ride. It's well worth the cost.

    An absolute must do, best way to see this beautiful city. Our family group of 5 had a great time together as we were driven around the water seeing so many different perspectives of Vancouver. Captain Jake is a super cool guy and would highly recommend him as your boat capt.

    We did the Doomed to Win in Las Vegas.
    Setup and puzzles were great, alot of variety and a good challenge for intermediate players.

    Thank you Shawn for getting us prepared and ready to go in no time. He's awesome :) I highly recommend trying out waterbiking. It's very easy to pick up and very rewarding. Great for teambuilding and group activity. We also saw some seal and a dolphin!

    Amazing experience, 10/10. The fellas handling the raft tour were super professional and knowledgeable, while also making the extra effort to bring energy and laughter in the early hours of the day. The meandering river was absolutely stunning. Super long, endlessly winding around bends and hitting rapids, definitely worth the $$. We went on a great sunny day and the water was extra refreshing. Must go!

    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
